Nearly there now... I bet you can feel that blue slip already in your hand :wink: :D
It came together quite nicely. Good stuff.

Never heard of the different size screens, I would think it would be a slight diff in the body (Friday afternoon car).
The screen clips worked out ok then :D , Trev 8) .

i wish the body was that low, but the roads up here are so crap i wouldn't be able to drive it anywhere :evil:
i hope not to keep the hotwires, i don't really like them (even though anyone that see's the car reckon they suit it with the colour of the car :roll: :? )
unfortunately i've pretty much blown my budget on the car for a while :oops: so i don't have the money to get something better :cry:
i'd love a set of dragway indy 14's or 15's (fat rears, skinny fronts)
it'll get there one day, i'd rather have it registered with these wheels than sitting in the garage with nice wheels (they're only going to get driven off it anyway :lol: :twisted: )
cheers, luke.

That saying is always amusing to me. My uncle's name is Bob, short for robert :lol:
