Yeah, I'm on the prowl for some nowNafemanNathan wrote: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?!![]()
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

You say no rust... There is a little but hopefully get that sorted soon
Re: grant_day's Lude (about time)
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.

And with the new wheels..


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

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...

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

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

Cracked here.

And here

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

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