Well, heres the original pics:
Decided to straighten it up a bit before moving onto the modification. First, removed a few panels. Got got a little surprise:
Yep, i have me a trust oil transmission cooler.
Now I thought I had a bent chassis at the front. I would be wrong
And about 30 minutes on the back and it now looks like this:
Have a white panel to replace the silver one with as well
Going to start fabricating a tailgate next...... Will update the thread when ive achieved a bit more

damaged... Otherwise id be selling them. All 4 have gouges from where they collected the gutter. I wouldnt be surprised if at least one of them is bent.

Holy crap, for a few hours work that's one hell of a result, actually seems sad its gonna get cut up, with a lick of paint and a good clean, that's worth buying.

Dam ... looks good already. Too bad those rims are damaged or else i'd think about asking you to sell them

Sorry to post of topic, but was just wondering what your plans were for the exhaust dstocks and if the one that was on this car (hks) is still gonna be up for sale?? PM was sent a while ago but got no reply, was just wondering what your plans are. Thanks mate

Yep, will be up for sale and youve got first dibs. Just as an aside, It sounds great. Took it for a bit of a rap last weekend. Just need the time to pull it out and repalce with one of the others I have lying around.
