some time next week, hopefully, not in a rush, dont want another dented door lmao
ps, will tidy the body up a bit and make it look alot better then seeing a huge a** dent there The door actuator will go on defintly next week, so i can lock it properly Just waiting for some more money to come through to get this steering rack and lower support bar cut, Reason is my mates cordia had a front end bingle and he is hiring a welder out so i thought stuff it at the same time ill get mine done, When that does happen will take photos and step by step insructions on how to replace that, cheers matty

The AU rocker cover came out mint dude, never though an AU cover would look that good polished because of all the fins but that looks awesome. A nice billet oil cap would set that thing off
