when I got married we hired 2 identical white Toyota rent a racers, drag raced them and had them bouncing off the rev limiters and all, was all good fun till we noticed that one of them had the oil cap off the engine cover from when the rental outfit topped up the oil, it was everywhere :lol: one phone call and they brought round a replacement straight away and took the oil stained mess away.

Wedding is finally over haha. Had a great time but didnt have my car ready for it. Took it in for a wof and failed on two different things. My right wheel bearing needs replacing and a nut wouldn't tighten up properly so should be on the road soon. Even greater news is that my cousin said he would do all my wiring and deloom it for $500!! just got to get it to masterton. Still very cheap as the wiring is crap and he will have to start from scratch.

Ok been away for ages and just got back from Thailand. What an epic honeymoon. A few things i got done before i left was. Test fitted wheels but need to sell as need money to fix wiring. Stripped what i could in boot and sprayed for a temporary fix until i get in there properly and i took the front bumper off to see what it looks like. Tell me what you think...
