Welcome to life, it aint cheap.

Ive also got a VIC Roads appointment for next Wednesday, putting Godzilla back on the road after the respray for the Skyline nationals in Bennella, need to lift the suspension height on the coilovers to pass Min height (100mm), problem is the new wheels will stick out of the guards once i raise it, might get under and put all the negative camber i can get just to tuck the wheels under the guards as a temporary fix.

Bet you they just look at the engine number and no further, useless bunch....

yep looked at the VIN, the engine number then tried to upsell me to slim number plates for 60 bucks more.

Hey Godzilla...i declared the stampduty value as 1000 bucks...that paid for the VIV inspection...car is woth about 12-15k on carsales....a saving of...$500...LOL

That's payback to VRoads...I successfully argued that a write off was worthless in resale terms and unsafe for families compared to an unwritten off car.

They gave me no arguments.

Yeah i might try the same, i saw a new Mustang going through a few months ago, owner was declaring its value as $20K, the lady working there was going off her tree, complaining to her coworkers, why she cant find a car like that for 20K.

They can try to up sell what they want, i already have the plates "ZILLR" ready to bolt on.

Taken.....Im sure ive seen it, besides in sure the plates Killr would be deemed offensive. :p

My son went to see the car today, should be ready for pickup Saturday, straight as a dye, the custom metallic Black i had made up is deeper than the factory Black, just need the N1 side skirts, rear wing, N1 front and rear lips and bumpers polished and put back on now.

The guy who did the body work and paint is well known in show car circles, Craig from 2DIE4 bodyworks, no orange peel, just a deep wet gloss, i highly recommend him for custom work.

On the to do list.

Must say the factory brakes look tiny now and spoil the look.

Shhhh, they are already painted red, couldnt help myself.

Maybe those fake eBay Brembo caliper covers will improve my braking. LOL

Got the car home tonight from the panel shop, missing a cylinder, possibly a faulty coil pack or stuck injector, fun day ahead tomorrow.....not.
