It's back!
Should be ready for the HVC.
Few small issues though, oil sitting under the bottom rad hose, would that be a left hand rocker cover gasket gone?
Coolant itself is a bit lower than usual, but apart from that car is ready to go.

Stoked with the paint, here's what it looked like before, cracks and marks all over the bonnet, bumbers, panels etc...
In comparison to what it looks like now:

Had a grinding on full lock with the MY11 wheels on, Ben said it was most likely hitting the front guard, but after taking a closer look with the wheels off I noticed that something was grinding on the bottom of the front brakes, leaving a 40mm gash where the paint was stripped off- not sure what would cause that? Only on one side as well.
Thought it could have been the wheel weights on the MY11 wheels, but they'd have been ripped off if that was the case. Issue has gone away with the rota's back on, so I'm stumped.
More reason to spray the brakes though 
Also suspension q's, where I adjust the coil height isn't a perfectly flat surface, even though I measured I'm sure there's some differences between sides- should I look into getting the suspension set up professionally, or will a few mm's of difference between the sides OK to run over long periods?

Blacked out the grill today, turned out OK, but i'll need to give it another go down the track as I don't think it'll last- the tape pulled at the dip so next time I'll spray the entire grill. Also threw on the new badge.

What gearbox does this thing run? And is it just a stock EZ30D ECU running it?

Just a Liberty 5 speed, and the ecu / engine are standard from a jdm half cut.

Goodies arrived today!
Ganador Titan exhaust, from a BH5 legacy (needs some modification to fix and a good clean)
Got some engine bay aesthetics with a cheap cusco sway bar, only fouled on one thing which i was able to move down lower anyways.
And finally picked up a denso ECU, which can be flashed to remove auto codes and then have a working CEL (like on Cam's GT30)
