BBM conversion? Sounds like shiz that I did back in the day.. not much point in it. Motor gets a bit smoother and quieter though.

can't have turbo on my P's, shitty thing about Red P's is that there tougher on mods, so im not gonna imagine what they would do if i had a turbo, though I would like one :(

To answer most people's questions, the car is back home now, I picked it up late this arvo. there were a couple of issues with the starting and turned out to be typical Smartlock having a sook. There all fixed along with new leads and dizzy cap. I'll get more pics tomorrow when there is more light.

Haha yeh, thanks Dave, yeh it feels like an entirely new car, but in the good way. Yeh Kev did an excellent job, it's as if it was a factory ghia :P. The moulds are getting sprayed and then the bumpers, going the ED Ghia style colour coding.
