It's back!

[smidge]

FINALLY got my car back on the road... rego + insurance + CTP = $1400

OUCH!

half the cost of buying the car just for a year of running the thing

anyway, it's awesome to be back on the road, the forester interior is in and makes a real comfy ride

new shocks to go in once i find some lowered springs at the right price

its 3 different colours at the moment but just adds character..

oh... BAD BOY BONNET! mad!

 

[smidge]

the good side... with new rims too..

 

[smidge]

the ugly... yet to be re sprayed properly... but good enuff to rego and transport for a bit

 

[smidge]

the passenger seat in production... with arm rest mount from forester frames welded on... fits pretty well..

good for you hey.. glad to see you got it back on the road.. wheels are heaps better then the old ones.. not really a fan of the bonnet, but that could be cause the bumpers are still black. you gonna get a super s front bar?

from the ashes, arise! Well done!

so, speaking of what's next, are you tending toward air/air intercooling now, or are you just happy to be back 4 the moment?

turbo march-rolling shell WROTE:not really a fan of the bonnet,

yeah they aren't for everyone, when i started looking to buy a micra and found this site, i found kristians white one with bad boy bonnet and wanted to do it since then, and now i have...

fred WROTE:are you tending toward air/air intercooling now, or are you just happy to be back 4 the moment?

at the moment i have to save money! i've smashed my bank account pretty bad fixing it up and paying rego etc, wiped almost 2 grand off, which was the turbo budget, i've got a good sized fmic that i'll use, maybe someone on here wants the complete RS turbo intercooler setup i've got???

"oh nice... well we will have to have a sydney meet soon then...
