!- i just bought a Calais/HSV Chrome boot strip and a Calais/Statesman Boot-lid liner to hide the bare metal that shows when u open the boot.

!- I have re-wired the boot spoiler in the correct cable.. and now the spoiler light actually works properly (not intermittantly) now!

OK, so it was making this noise when i started it up like a squeeling noise like a fan belt slip. so i had a look, and i suspected just a pulley. i ended up replacing 2 pulleys and the fan belt as the belt was cracked and two pulleys have screwed bearings.. $107 later, and im kinda happy haha..lol

Old Pulleys and belt:                                                                     New pulleys and belt:

Gday mate - sick ride - LOVE IT - keep up the great work - always more fun doing it ya self too! the lights in the door handles, are LED bulbs linked up through the interior light(just patched into the wiring that goes to the doors), when you click the open button on ya key it all lights up sexc as!. i just drilled a tiny hole (from inside the car) through the handle and siliconed in there. im gonna dump a bundle under car as well so i can see it a mile off when i hit the button =)
