shorty Posted June 5, 2012 Author Posted June 5, 2012 Same concept just different shape of lights bud ;) Quote
bucketep91 Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 yeah mate it was great, all thcorsas had speedlin safaris (sr) on hahaand the corvette has the same wheels as my car haha speedline competition 2s Quote
shorty Posted June 8, 2012 Author Posted June 8, 2012 A small but awesome update (well i think so lol)The rear garnish on the 85 has a small hairline crack running down it wich isnt massivly noticable but bugs me. few weeks ago i stumbled across this on ebay the lad selling had taken it off his gt and asumed it to be standard, so it must have been swapped over at some point as the jdm na panel is very hard to get hold off and always goes for isane money!!!............................... Except this time where it cost just £30 delivered Quote
bucketep91 Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Nice find mate! I hate when theres a little odd thing about the car that pisses you off i found a tiny ding on my door a few months back and its been pissing me off ever since! Baught another door off a breaker but the colour is just slightly off so i didnt fit it:(Whens it gonna be running? Youve made a lot of progress since ive been on holiday i better get a move on with mine :haha: I got home a few hours ago:( so ill be hot on your heels come sunday:-" Quote
shorty Posted June 8, 2012 Author Posted June 8, 2012 Not to much left to make her run but a fair bit to make her almost finished (i say that as i dont think thier ever finished lol) I've made quite good progress latley but the weather is turning again may need to buy a cheap gazeebo haha Quote
