Now that i have your attention
These arrived finally
New stickys
Being my garage was full...
I got a new one..
ita a tad small tho
So was loading the car on the trailer..
And heard a bang..
Couldnt figure it out for a while..
Then i looked closely in the car and noticed something was missing..
Looked under the car to find this ..
Anyway
Pulled off the wings,bonnet and front filler bar..
Must take out the rear subframe to change for the VT one
Then left the slicks up against the car to see what they would look like..
PHATT!! 8)
Hubs gone
Front subframe and tow hooks removed
These are the brackets being removed
Hmmm....Yup thats rusty alright
And heres my epic fail when removing brackets (advice: Dont look away when grinding or this will happen) 
And what iv been working on the past few weeks
