Well had the car 2 months now, and after getting a New strut brace for christmas from Sally, I thought I'd better get on with the modifying.

So I got on the super quick dial up and headed for the guys at ScoobyParts.com (http://www.scoobyparts.com). I ordered 2 things at 3:30am Friday morning and they arrived at work on Saturday morning. Couldn't be happier.


Saturday Night - New Badge

Time taken - 3hours (removing, baking, disecting, replacing)

With the £2 postage I think its the best £22 I've ever spent.

Will get some photos of the new front end tomorrow in the daylight.

Got the car going on the rollers in Feb, so will use that as a baseline for what work I want to do.

Took some pics of the lights fitted this morning.

Dyney, if your offering mate. :D

Only cleaned it the week before.

Plus the car's used near enough everyday. Also living down the road from 3 farms doesn't help.

Sally, I'll clean your car with a water pistol . :D

Lol!

I agree though, scoobies are designed for driving, not endlessly cleaning!
