Naylor2006 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Need to give that engine bay a good work over mate, maybe new rocker cover, surprising how and engine spruce up effects the cosmetic appeal. Lovely exterior though, most of these cabs ive actually seen in person are utter rust buckets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_big_man Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 its gonna look spot on with the skirts, spats and spoiler c/coded I'm hoping so! Been ringing around for quotes for getting the front bumper repainted, side skirts painted, rear spats and boot spoiler done porperly...no corner cuutting and came out to the car this morning to find my neighbour with a towbat has only gone and trashed the raer bumper and driven off! She's in for a nice surprise in the morning as i will be having words. She has to ask me to move my car as its now blocking her in...looking forward to the excuses she gives seeing as she is the only one in my 'close' who has a towbar. P1ssed that i have to get the rear bumper replaced now though :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_big_man Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 not much new to report. just in the midst of getting the skirts in place and putting the laguna splitter on as well.

ScORTED Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 the skirts dont look like they are in the right place, look like they are poking up at the skydue to the sills on the cabby, they always look like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naylor2006 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I hear what people are saying about the skirts, the do seem to stick out, more so then the one you've pictured though unless that's just because they're not painted yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
