Aye... one side only had one bolt holding it on instead of two (me just being lazy), and the other side we had to grind one of the tabs off the shock as the bolt wouldn't come out, even with a heat gun, so that side I had to cable tie.

It's all good yo!!! :D

Marc is a happy man!

Unfortunately not, won't be ready in time and low funds. :(




Parts to be fitted after I've got the insurance swapped over, tax and it's been serviced...

- Thule roof bars
- Yakima 90's wind fairing
- Twin bike roof rack
- VT shocks, 1.5X springs (need to source)
- Flare
- Generic cup holders
- JDM front floor mats
- JDM sun visors
- New cam cover
- New stickers all round (being made by Mr.Kutz)

And I need to spray the manifold heat shield, boot lid strip and sort out the mouldy bump strips.

Also refurbished the set of 15" Black Racing "Watanabes" I have, and gave the tyre walls a buff with black shoe polish, going to put these on too.
;)

Not the best job, but they are super shiney!
Whilst rubbing them down it was obvious they had been refurbished before as there were runs of paint and some lettering has been sanded down too much.

All stickers ??
I sent him a msg about it a while back after I scanned in the 4WD sticker but TBH I've not been hassling him about it.
Is he fairly on with it, or ??
