Still can't decide which wheels I want / can afford.

Just did low headlight mod with rectangle headlights as the popups were so annoying in the hills. Went for a run last night and i could actually see the roads for once. Also put front and centre underbody bracing which made a big difference over the small bumps. Lastly installed revlimiter gauges in which look old school but classy.

Id have thought you knew me well enough to realise that the 'fitment' comment was sarcastic.

I think it looks good.

Well over the weekend I:

replaced the front brake pads
fixed the intermittent window switches
fixed the stuck centre console cubby hole lock
lamented the fact that I still have to get the dents fixed from the cement truck that hit the car while parked.

Installed a beautiful girl into the other seat and went for lunch.
Greg.
As odd as it may sound there are people here that will truly appreciate the significance of this.

Car wouldn't start yesterday afternoon when I went to crank it. Just keeps clicking over.
SO I left the car at work and came back today.
Pull out the fuel pump and gave it a good shake and now it starts.

** New fuel pump is on the cards **

Hey John, had the same problem last year - if you haven't already, while you're at check the fuel pump in-tank wiring harness for 'black wire': viewtopic.php?f=55&t=46425

Hey Paul,

I might have to check the wiring as you mentioned, As I just put in a new fuel pump + new fuel filter and still keeps cranking like before.

Cheers.

Well today I finished replacing bushes on one corner - three to go. Not what I'd call a hard DIY but boy it sure takes time! Used Blacktop chassis paint to finish off and it seems a great product. Goes on with very few brushmarks and supposed to be tough.
