got a bit done tonight
car got delivered yesterday but I was at school then working at night so never got to see it...soooo impressed with the paint its like glass
when I got there tonight-
Then I decided to fit the wheels need a spacer on the fronts as they rub on the coilovers when its slammed...so had to raise the suspension for now...got the back sitting how I want though
the wheels stick out past the arches but the tyres tuck in nicely-
