I just copied the link from photobucket :?

She looks good dude. Although have you though about getting a set of clear side indicators to match the front?

Ahh that's an idea. I've got so much planned for it. Just trying to work on a tight budget. I ideally need to sort out the passenger door lock as it only opens from the inside when it got broken into, and the drivers side has deep scratches and a dent... This leads onto the wing so the indicator has been super glued on lol! (By previous owner)

I like the twin exhausts :)
Have you trashed your cruise control buttons then mate?

Thanks mate, pretty loud. All properly in aswell, had to cut out the boot and weld a new piece of metal in to fit the box in. Back box alone was around £900 new. Luckily I didn't pay for it, was already on the car.

And yeah a thing about the cruise control.. Me being a nob accidentally cut the wire while putting on the new steering wheel. So what I've done is taken out the air con pipes and under the dash matrix, at the same time took out all he cruise control. I had a fire behind my steering wheel because one of the wires wasnt insulated properly so I relocated my horn button which melted and now my horn button is my cruise control button. I did want to find a new horn button to replace or cover the cruise control so it says horn on it?! Any ideas if that makes sense???

£900 for an exhaust backbox?! WOW!
Yeah that kind of makes sense mate, I have a cruise control steering wheel in my donor 'Lude if you need any parts?

Nope it's all gone now. The pump and all the wiring has gone and the button is just literally my horn button now. Just wondered if they do a horn button cover or if some how i could change the button into a horn button?!

Oh and £900 was just what I was told. Wether the bloke was lying just to try and add value to the car or not I don't know?! But it is a Chevrolete Camaro box.

Oh right, so you want a dash mounted horn button to go where the original cruise control button was? I don't think you'll find one of them.. but then, I may have completely missed your point! Either way, your exhast looks cool! :)

Cheers mate. Ill try and explain... The three buttons on the right hand side of the steering wheel on the dash. I've got: traction control, cruise control and sunroof. The cruise control button is now my horn button. Is there any way I could change the button to a horn button in that same style or some kind of a cover to cover it so it says horn. ?! Lol

Oh ok, I'm with you now, I'm pretty sure the answer is no. Sorry. There was never a dash mounted horn button, you could try picking out the sticker that says 'Cruise' and make one yourself that says 'Horn' ..that's about as good as my suggestions get I'm afraid mate.
