      you used your feet jarred???? its not that hard! start at one of the top corners. pushe outwards with your hand from the inside while standing beside the car. might have to thump it a bit. glass is surprisingly strong

        yea, i found it was easiest on the wrists. requires less pushing with feet, than with hands, for me at least.

                i'm off to the snow tomorrow for a week then have a week off. so in that week off i'll be trying to get a few things done i'm more concerned about the rust under the front window than the front as the front shouldn't be a problem for blue slip.

                  paint looks to have come up really well.

                  a straight front bar and number plate will cover up alot of the front end damage, so it won't be as noticeable, at the least.

                          Nah that's the gearbox and steering rack donator. The 2 door looks the same as it did when bought it. Minus the rust around the window.

                            so what you doing with the shell?

                            rims look stunning.

                            rocking it with them alright.

                              not doing much with the GLD for the time being. the idea of all the sanding involved just turns me off. but it's great for parts, and something to put my beer on when working on the gls.


                              coilovers are in

                              slapped on some 8mm spacers i had laying around on the back. and grabbed one dress ring to see how it would look... not too shabby. 3 more on the way. and chucked the lip on too.

                              went to go for a quick test drive around the block. (no rego... shhhhh) no good. one of the drive shafts has popped out while the strut was out

                              ah well, needed to replace both boots anyway. something to do next saturday!do next saturday!

                              appologies for phone pics. the DSLR is in new calidonia w/ missy at the moment.








                              any one know if you can get a new replacement.. um.. front... pannel thing... the dammaged bit.. i think it'd be easier to replace the whole thing.

                              thinking of getting peep mirrors for it too....
