Haha yeh, it was a pretty easy job (although a touch fiddly), I got the LEDs from JayCar at penrith (your best chance, they are nowhere else!), I think I took the last two though, so maybe call first?

Installed a pod enclosure for the car. Had to do some cutting to make it fit the custom piping.
Cleaned the interior some more and dressed.

thanks man. will look into it, cheerz.

Re-wired the sunroof in the black FTO (have lost the ability to auto-close/open) though.. But works great......... FINALLY.

Put new 6.5inch front speakers in
Put new 6x9inch rear speakers in
Wired them all up to new 4channel amp
Washed the car
Moved my cruise control from the gearknob to the cigarette lighters position.

OK, pics of the paintwork. A few of you might remember seeing it at the bonfire. Changed a bit since then though. Basically did the rear bar and both rear quarter panels:





The rear bar was black before I started. Couldnt afford to get someone else to do it , so decided just to get it the same colour until I could afford to do more. Had 3 cans made up at Allards in Canberra (auto paint suppliers). Didnt come out half bad I reckon. Still have to buff it when I get the chance.

wow that fto has weatherstrips

That's come up well
job well done.

On topic top effort Dwayne

I thought most of them do?

Ontopic, looks awesome Dwayne

I washed my car and did a DIY headlight restoration with just sandpaper, water and cut and polish. Looks sooo much better!

Got some new shoes. Rays Volks TE37's (Genuine, not Ravs Vorks or Raze Wheels )
Front tyres were bald so got them wrapped in new Bridgestone Adrenaline RE001's.

I know, I know, centre caps are desperately needed haha

good choice maybe some tuner nuts will go with wheels nice

It already has tuner wheelnuts on. They are the Rays long style locknuts or a copy of. I had those nuts on my gramlights.

Nice choice in wheels , and screw centre caps with japo wheels!

Edit - forgive me, just noticed centre nuts had open ends. My rays longs had a closed end. Could be D1's ?

Yep, "D1 spec" lug nuts. Apparently they are made in Japan and they only cost me $50 new (local tyre store tried to sell me normal lug nuts at $2.50 a piece)

Really need some centrecaps... but I can't justify spending $200 on 4 tiny pieces of plastic with a sticker on it

top-of-the-line rims! yum!!!!!

Very swish! Good choice.
