Shouldn't drink coffee in the afternoon...... Couldn't sleep so applied Sailor's fix to the parcel shelf rattle. Works a treat and found 2 more I never realised I had

Adjusted the ride height up just a tad to get rid of that annoying occasional scrape, & washed the last 3 weeks weather off. Oh, & polished my strut brace & ARC induction pipe.

When you turn your car on, does it return the favour?

Picked up my Watanabes from Dr Wheels at Molendinar Gold Coast - if you're doing your own wheel resto, they do a great job on the dents and gutter rash for one of the best prices around.. (no connection)

p.s. - He'd HAVE to be good, or he couldn't be called a Doctor ! :wink: hyuk hyuk..

Got Defected on Friday, They went all over it and all they could get me for was red indicators. I've got 2 weeks to fix em & send in a stat. dec. to say they're fixed. I went and got some amber bulbs but can't seem to separate the lenses to remove the red inner lens. When I pick up my project car next week it has OEM tail lights, so I'll just put them on.

It was a road side unit (RTA, not cops) pulling everyone over for pre-easter safety checks, Apparently? Although it seems only sporty or modified vehicles needed checking? :)

Hey Kev
You do realise that the right hand most pedal is the accelerator, don't you. :lol:

Installed offset front number plate bracket. Gives it a nice clean look as the stock one was quite rusty and worn.
Form is within the function.
