                                                  *****The final result*****

                                               about 1% complete so far hahahahaha!

                           I want to have all this done by the end of this year....

                                    - repair sunroof (broken seal it leaks badly!)

                                       - re-tint tail lights (properly this time)

                                       - repaint all wipers

                                       + get a louvre for the rear window (Have got! Now installed!)

                                       - rust repair on rhr wheel arch and on roof

                                       - replace all broken/damaged interior plastics

                                        - red fading to orange "SVP" badges for rear doors and tailgate

                                        - bodykit put on (got to repair and paint it)

                                        - good dark window tint

                                        - install all the audio

                                        - personalised plate (maybe) 

                                About $1900 bux worth so its coming slowly

                                          ....and eventually (no time limit)....

                                         - reupholster the interior with cream color leather

                                         -  full 2.5" exhaust with 2 coby resonators and twin tip muffler

                                         -  standalone ecu (megasquirt)

                                         - have all my rims redone in the same snowflake pearl paint.

                                                   * Things I have done/got *

                                                              + rear louvre

12.7.09 - Car is 100% road legal! Celebrated by going on a very small road trip, pity it was missing due to the injector; cleaner didnt help. Still It was just great to have a drive after all that time. I was lucky and able to get the louvre from Craigs brothers TX5 http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3249496 cos he didnt really want it. Freakin sweet! Thats a dummy fit below.

 Lightly sand tails before tinting them! otherwise it comes off theyre way way lighter than they were. It also didnt help the car sat in the elments for close to 2 years either. Took some pix of the cars together the light and the dark haha....

Yes unfortunatley my car was hit by a girl in a Nissan NX coupe doing a u turn. Could have been worse. At the time I was real angry kinda feel bad for her. Going to chase insurance tomorrow.

  The Emperor on GTA: SA kinda looks a little bit like my car.Blusube's 1989 Ford Telstar Blusube's 1989 Ford Telstar  

The difference without the kit...                        ...with the kit. It should resemble this once Im done.

I have the actual bodykit from this car which aparently was de-rego'd and crushed. Bit of a shame really with a half decent engine it would have been all good. Oh well it will sure make my car stand out from the crowd and maybe even draw them lol.
