Hey Grant. Nice to have met you and the missus the other day :)

Looks like you've got yourself a nice little project there. And is that no rust I see?! :D

Yeah a set of prefacelift JDM headlights would work a treat with that colour. I did the same for my project lude and they make a world of difference 8-)

The sooner you get the rust sorted the less rust there'll be! :)

Quick update of how PYP is coming along..
Fitted the wheels yesterday and its a huge improvement, although now the tracking being out is more noticeable, but I can sort that out when I get time.
Here's a pic of her before her new wheels were fitted.

Image

And with the new wheels..

Image
Image

Then o fitted the EBay special, strut brace, ..
Image

But it wouldn't fit with this reservoir in its original place so ill have to make a bracket at some stage, but cable ties for now...
Image

I pulled out the rear section of the exhaust heat shield.. it came apart with un doing a screw .. Pushki would be proud that some of it still remains :)

Image

I removed and replaced the rattling manifold, it rattled because it was cracked.. its yours if you want to collect it..
Image
Cracked here.
Image
And here
Image

Tomorrow I'm removing the induction kit and replacing it with the original airbox..
Image


That's it .. for now anyway, currently painting the brows I got , then they will be fitted once finished..
