I realize its been a while since i last updated the site with anything done to my car. no worries ive been working on it though and ill upload the pictures and update everything within the next few days. In this time have changed out my tail lights for ones my brother had painted, removed the metal plate where the battery was because it will soon be relocated to the rear. I have also installed a new 300zx fuel filter and new magan racing FU RU & RL strut bars.
IMPORTANT!
This site will be under construction for a little while. I cant give a date because it just depends on when i feel like spending time working on it, but if i find motivation then soon. Until its done you will still be able to check everything out as im working on it.
