Looking good! Red is a good colour for Jimjams I think. Not many red ones around either. You have to keep on top of polishing them though to stop them going pink!

Yeah I was amazed how good it looked when I gave it a polish looked even better when it got covered in mud the next day lol...

I have been thinking about an engine swap to the g16bb engine but can't seem to figure out what cars / years they came in. Don't mind buying a complete car and scrapping the rest just need to find one... Any ideas???

I am buying a set of manual hubs for it this weekend so one thing less on the list lol

Cheers

Well it's welded on and the light bar is fitted and it's blimming bright I put it as far back as I could to stop it getting hit when I'm off-roading
