I know I've been pretty lame on the forum recently just been so busy with life! Just got back from New York and survived the blizzards!

Still got the motor, I must confess I have toyed with selling her, but every time I drive her I can't bring myself to do it! Just so cold and miserable not getting a chance or the time to driver her now. When the sun comes back out I'm sure I'll be back to play! :launch

Don't let that stop you; The Bride has had to act as my daily at the mo (although it was locked up in it's box when the snow was in town and I've diligently jetwashed underneath), never failed to start and a hoot on the ice.

True true, I think I might take Bruce for a spin and wash today actually.

Lucky I rustproofed her in the summer with all the crazy snow we had!

Me neither. Regular use is way better anyway.

Well the RS's were finally fitted yesterday on 19/50/15's at the front and 215/50/15 not really low profile but I think it's keeping it period, same profile that Rasmus has on his wheels I believe.

One problem though... on profile 50 and 8" wide at the back I was getting some serious arch rub and had to hoist the height of the car up via the coilovers. Looks like a drag car it's leaning forwards so much :lol: Anyway, I digress... I need to get the arches rolled now so I can slam her to the ground, anyone have any ideas of who I can contact for arch rolling and roughly how much it costs?

I think Mick @ Pristine Bodyworks does it? He did my fronts anyway so certainly worth ringing.
