Car arrived at the dealer yesterday. Can’t wait.

Decatted diesel utes (old hiluxes / landcruiser 70's / discovery) belching black smoke + 100dB exhaust noise everywhere they go can FRO. We should get emissions testing here...

Finally dusted off the DA Polisher that’s been sitting in the basement for a year since I bought it to prep car for the Brit and Euro show: Wash Clay Wash and dry Spot Carpro Clearcut (heavy cut) Carpro Ceriglass on windows (remove etching / water spots) Carpro Fixer (medium cut) Carpro Essence (Light cut glaze with sealant and fillers) Carpro Elixer (High gloss Si02 spray sealant) Also refinished headlight lenses and detailed all black trim with Carpro Perl. Really, really happy with how it came out - and the car already looked pretty good - took out almost all the minor scratches that would show up in certain light and just looks great now. Also got a new alarm fitted and the install is much tidier now - he removed a crazy amount of crap from under the kick panel - the remote is half the size of the old one which helps too. Still waiting on workshop to book me in for the gearbox / clutch / who knows.... but car probably hasn’t looked this good in 10-15 years.

Lowered the front of the car another 20mm ish, quite like the way it looks with a bit of rake, and the bumper isn't particularly low anyways. Quite happy with the ride heights now, so will probably get it carted for this height.

Lowered so far on silly wheels that they rely on tyre sidewalls for suspension compliance ("just like F1, innit") - seeing them bounce over bumps makes my back hurt!

Its carbon fiber, pretty sure he is going to use infusion. Not sure what price will be. Will keep you updated.

I have a friend under taking this at the moment. Mold is done and i think production will be starting in not too long.

I am. Unfortunately I was busy with work during the last meet, but will do my best to attend the next one, thanks Jun!

Some finishing touches (for now), apex stud conversion and hub centric spacers, as well as boot trims back in now.

Might not look like much has changed, but the half cage is painted, was a bitch of a job I wouldn't ever reccoemnd anyone does haha not fun at all. Began putting the interior back in which is easier said than done, putting things to make it fit and try making it look tidy is quite tricky. Rear door cards had to be split in half, vertically tried to hide the split behind the main hoop of the cage but may still cover it with some form of thick black tape, but doesn't look too bad overall. Put the drivers seat in to move it and pretty happy with how it all looks and especially how the seating position feels.

An actual cooling system refresh - all hoses with new clamps and new fans blades to boot. Ive never replaced so many parts at once.
