Cheers guys. The seats did come up fantastic.

The tyres are a PITA. Would love to go bigger but we'll see.

And nice to meet you last night Jase. Will have to come round and have a look at yours

Finally got the new tyres put on yesterday. Nothing to crazy. Just Maxxis. Ended up going with 205/60/13's. Simply because that is the biggest width and profile I could find for the 13" rims that are on it.

Also got a wheel alignment done as well. And boy was the front right BAD!

Car is also running perfectly now. Runs as good as my Subie does.

Got the highbeams working put will only flash and not click and stay on.. So still gotta fix them properly too.

Nice.

The 205/60-13 are a fair bit smaller than std so it should get off the line quicker.

Did you sus out the headlamp relay?

I've gotta show my dad this build. He used to own a fair few Kingswood Premiers back in his day. Used to completely disassemble a V8 engine, clean it, bore it, etc, only to put it back together and back into the car. All himself in my old house in the garage.

Awesome.

So... The car is now registered and on the road. 3 weeks ago i got the road worthy for it, the week following I joined a car club. The club was local and offered Club Rego straight away.

So then the following week which was last tuesday I got my club plates from Vic Roads. And bam its all done.

Went for a cruise with a work mate who has an XR6 Turbo on monday night into the Docklands. Took some pics. Pretty good quality pics for an iPhone

So now that Ive got the car road worthy and on the road I can focus on things like the sound system, get the carby re-built, new rear shocks etc.

Car is tough enough, no need for a silly nissan engine.

As soon as she hands it to you, slowly take of your pants, then, while staring her straight in the eyes rub it against the tip of you penis, while continuing your painfully intense gaze whisper to her;

"My eye is watering, this might be a bit hot"

I should just convert to single, right?
