Starlet-Joshy Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Update Motherfuckerzzz!!! Okay so, Decided to do a few things while it was sunny after i finished work. This included fitting my Front RSR* Strut brace, which i recently painted the other day, And fitting my Rear Cusco Brace. Front brace looks good, however needs a bit of metal polish on the bar itself, and a better photo of it fitted, The rear, is okay for now, needs respraying and new ends but it matches the car, of shitty paint so whatever , Swapped my normal Rad cap for my Cusco Rad cap (Replica :/), While fitting the rear strut, i removed most of the plastics and gave a good hoover inside. Plenty of bits of broken glass and a £1 coin, so not all bad. Hopefully this weekend im gonna re - paint, the faded side, boot, rear bumper and front bumper, Also need to bolt front and rear bumper proper as there hanging on by one bolt atm, previous owner must have been a spanner! Too many snapped bolts on this car! Other plans include fitting some stickers i have, and ordering, Jap plates, and a TRD Gear knob! Here's some photo's Also need to fit new boot struts (in cardboard tube!) As they have failed lol Cusco Rep Rad Cap! Yes the sticker film is off the status error one, just was a c**t at the time as it kept peeling off! Bought a BLITZ Cap, turns out it doesnt fit! £20 and its yours! Tow Hook Fitted! (Exhaust soon!) And RSR* Strut Brace fitted!! ( and Blitz Socks!) That's all for now! More Updates Tomorrow! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
