Drift Pig

VVince11 Sept 2008, 20:55

A small friday night incident bout 2 weeks ago caused this carnage

Damage doesn't seem too bad, but enough for insurance to right it off

I've decided to buy it back from them, as i'm a little attached to the thing

So here starts projects drift pig - I still need to properly assess the damage but i'm hopeing just to replace the radiator / FMIC & some boost pipes , rip off the front bumper / dyno then drift - I think fixing the lights are gonna be a bitch






This is from a previous drift accident courtesy of THE ROCK's wall

Damn dude, I checked clear projector headlights on ebay for $22 if ur interested, still will work out way cheaper than getting them here. Pity we're not like the japs, if the engine still runs and tyres r still fine... keep drifting 😂

I really can't take the credit for the awesome car I bought from Saint J... but thanks anyway!!!

Had a real good time talking crap mostly!!! We really don't do it enough by getting together. Wasn't really planning on coming through seeing that I was working earlier yesterday, but glad I could make some time to pop past...

Good luck with the rest of the build and let me know if you okes need some help or even just someone to keep the beers cold!!
