All I've done the last 2 weeks is wash my car and make one of my ghia badges fall off :|

haha I guess, the paint as a whole is pretty good, but upon closer inspection you'll find many many little dints and small touch ups :oops: hopefully in the future I'll get the whole car painted in black, and add a ticky kit.. if I can find one.. lol

Went to WA Suspensions and got some work done.
Koni red shocks, tuned
Lovells sport low springs
All bushes replaced with SuperPro products

Now it can go around corners without rolling into a house.. :lol:

I'm thinking of taking it to a transmission joint and getting a full flush and a trans cooler. The box is being a POS when the car gets above warm.

That would be awesome.. but that would mean it'd be off the road for at least a week.. I need to drive it every day hahaha

I don't know though.. The thing with me though is it's all or nothing.. If I was going manual I'd go straight for a t56.
