yepp, you going to get proper typhoon skirts or the bitsa side skirts that phat customs produce ?


I'm getting them through newgel, but they'll be pretty similar, they just won't have the lips at the end cause I don't want door pods... Should give it a nice flow

well the car is looking like an average fairmont with mags and lowered as it's going for roadworthy tomorrow morning,

also need some more fibre glass to finish off the rear bar and the front bar which will be off until it's painted and ready to go on the car, hoping to have the doors, twinlights and bonnet and respray the car in one hit

well finally got a computer back,

car is now registed, has plenty of balls when it's needed to get up to 100 for the high way,

front brakes fell good since i replaced the pads on wednesday following the gregorys manual,

the car is rolling standard until the kit is complete, finished and painted

rear bar is cut and i started fibre glassing it but ran out of resin and hardener after getting 4 sheets on it,

Cool. I wish I had some time up my sleeve, 4 weeks would be enough to get a lot done! I've gotta work all but a couple of days over the next month.

Cheers
