Why wouldn't it? :P

Got the engine stripped down, old cylinders, con-rods and bearings removed along with the head. Spent the majority of the time labelling bolts Received my 75.5mm vitara pistons today Luckily did not get caught with import tax Have a quote from a local machine shop and will be...

Now it's time to ditch absolutely everything I've done and start again. The plan is to now make her a daily/track car, I've had fun at the stance life, get's looks and what not, but I think it's time to turbo her. So currently as you can see in half the pictures the cars been raised in the...

Lovely car! love the color. How do you find the 6wto1 coilovers? I think you said you we're spraying the grill with the same paint you sprayed the lip, but if you go into halfords they'll mix paint up to your color code in a 300ml aerosol can made by holts. I just used it to spray my grill...
