Not bad, kinda stripped on cash atm, got someone coming to look at my sunroof tomorrow, hopefully after that it will be able to close!
Then Ima book in it next week to get the following done to it:

Rear Engine Mount
Exhaust hole fixed
And a engine wash to find the leak

But thats after I put on a pedal on my brake (no rubber atm) put some 2nd hand rear tyres on, and find some parker lights!

Where are the drifts at?

Little bit of an update today.

Had a Sunroof guy come around today to have a look at my sunroof.
Finally after a long 3hours we found the problem. A small part on the righthand side arm is broken.
This is the broken part


If anyone has a broken sunroof or a wrecked FTO w/ sunroof they wanna help me out just let me know I already sent a PM to dstocks if he dusn't have it, looks like i'll have to try my luck at the wreckers..

But for now he got it shut so yeah.

Little bit of an update:

I got my RWC today from a place in Redcliffe, not naming any companys but yeah - Lets just say it was a little dodgy, I just want to get it in my name to get it off my chest.
I went in there, they got the rego/vin numbers, talked to the guy for abit, gave him my name / number and he wrote it out. Was there for literally only 20mins. LMAO. Anyway........

I missed the Transport office by 5mins so gonna head there tomorrow morning and i'll be back to using ugly QLD plates ahah.

Will keep you all up to date
