Thanks for the kind words guys :)

Hehe, yip no hoildays :( Has been heeps of fun tho. The only part that sucked was stripping all the paint off. Did a bear metal job on her :D

The rims are 18x8.5 Work VS. Offset is 31, but Im using 25mm spacers. They would still fit on the back with out spacers, but they wont clear the GTO brakes on the front without spacers.

$570 to get the steering box recond!!!!

Think i'll stick with toping it up every couple weeks for that price!

$570 seems a bit pricey.
I paid $490 2 weeks ago.
Oh well.
The car is looking great by the way!

Thanks dude.
I've got some height adjustable struts being welded up at the moment, so I can get it nice and snug :D Can't wait :D
