With the SAU 2012 Nats fast approaching and the car coming together.

I decided to do some general maintenance and check over the car.

Changed the oil and decided to flush the radiator when I came across this!

(This also could have happened earlier in the year but for the sake of the timeline lets chuck it in here)

Ended up going to Nat Rad in Canberra and asking their opinion.

One of the jap websites sold a replacement for about $90 but I didn't have that cash for a small pipe nor the time.

Nat Rad ended up finding a bit of pipe sitting and around and gave it to me for $5.00

I smashed it in with a hammer and its holding together to this date!

Those rims look heeeeaps better, interesting read

$500 to change a rwd clutch, wow shits dear down there, the clutch in my 32 GTR cost that and that was a clutch shop, I had to do it 5 time in 3 years but that's a different story

Decided to also clear up my headlights.

So many different options on how to go about this and I chose one and just dived in!

Metal Polish! AMAZING!

Before

After

I think the results speaks for itself!

Around this time as well I noticed my rims were scrubbing on the guards a little bit.

So I purchased myself a heat gun, hammer and time haha

Not many photos of this but here is one that I could dig up.

It doesn't show much but you can kind of make out that I folded the inner lip up.

This was enough to give the rims clearance.

Haha $500 is the backyard price with no receipt!

Its around $750-$1000 if you want it done by a workshop.

Thankfully I have found a bloke that knows what he is talking about and takes his time to do it right
