Just removed my weather shields from both sides and polished up the metal beneath it... They're up for sale if anybody wants them, personally i think the FTO looks so much better!

Replaced a ragged out drivers side driveshaft (inc CVs) and replaced the wheel bearing (Evo style integrated unit) and threw on the new disc rotors.

Re: What work did you do on your car today?
Thanks for the offer Taz but I will be getting a new one. As I don't want to risk having to pull the car apart for the second time.

Re: What work did you do on your car today?
Not what work did I do. What work did this local panel beater do! Fixed my roof rust, fixed my faded boot just infront of the spoiler, cleaned up my rims, fixed up the weatherguards, cleaned the whole inside of the car, cleaned my headlights and fixed up any little imperfections / scratches on the car. It looks immaculate now!!!
Just got it back today, was more than happy to only pay $1500 for all his efforts!
