Stop spamming the mans thread.

Good luck with the project.

I can help but think that the CAF isnt doing much? perhaps if the hole was matched to the light housing would do a better job?

Just a quick update

I sprayed the rocker cover on the D15 and maaged to removed the heatshield from the manifold after hours of wacking the the bolts to loosen up the rust

on a plus side i only wacked my hand once

all put back together again

started removing the manifold but of course theres one bolt i wont budge

also sprayed my front bumper to match the back and fitted the fogs although i havent wird them up yet.

Also does anyone know which one is the air con piece??

So what you guys think?
