Finally! some progress! fitted my spare white front bumper, bumper supports as mine were bent from a time i met the corner of the house (low blood pressure) and good headlights today(does anyone know how to protect the chrome on them??). looks heaps good. photo's asap. also got 3 of 4 16"s on. number 4 is so tight its ruined two good sockets and found out the silver ally is only a cover, as i managed to get one of them off too.

Photo's will be photobucket as i can't get the html codes with my phone, so if anyone wants to help with that will be much appreciated.

Right. time for an update. my alarm has been playing up lately so is now a central locking system till i can get a new brain for it off my boss. still have had no luck removing my last factory wheel to put my 16" rim on so when i do the steering componentry swap I'll have to swap a strut. yay. but good news my 10mm spacers are being made up in the next few days. all i have to do is install a pair of speakers for my mate. sweet as. oh and have sold a gearbox seatbelt indicator and grill in the last 3 days and got another steady parts customer. chur.

Update time. got a bit bored on my day off today. so when i got back from my friends after drinks last night i recovered then decided to upgrade my amp wiring in my 850. i now have ridiculously vibrating mirrors so that was done. i then thought lets test fit these arch flares. so here's a pic

More progress! put my towbar on after a nice re paint.
http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...74366483_o.jpg
all the trailer electric's are wired up too

next steps
-fit secondary electric fan for towing, should i have a switched relay? or wire it up so that when the plug from a trailer is plugged in the fan kicks in straight away?
-get last factory wheel off
-find some one inch lowering blocks
-get some spring compressor's so i can fit my coilover rear's
-hopefully my spacers will be done by then so they can go on.

and if i get bored at some point i may re do my stereo system.

anyway that's all for now. stay tuned!
