Hey peeps..

As I said in my 'laterz' thread a while back (man it has been a while..... I needed to take a break from the net and everything I was used to and get my head straight.. Well, I have been getting lots of things straight.
My head, my tib and my status..

I began lots of projects with my tib starting with the body (I had talked of this before I left but it has been in full swing for ages now) and have achieved alot. It goes into paint in 2 weeks and I am still doing bodywork..

I have done this :

Obtained some Escort RS cosworth vents from art and vented them.

Meg is an artist smile.gif

And that about wraps it up. Oh, and I have never been happier in my life and we are getting engaged in April.

Nice to be back

i'm hearig happy endings so much nowadays. that's fabulous she's beautiful.

pandy, everything looks great man, i LOVE those taillights are they the lens replacements or the full lights? i like your old rims a lot more man!

congrats!

Tails : yeah art had them on his but stuck them over the oem tails without removing the oem lenses and they were too dark. so we removed mine in the oven and siliconed them on. I have red bulbs I made using red kandy paint smile.gif they came out literally perfect too...

As time has gone on I have grown to absolutely hate my rims that I have now. They are a total bastard to clean and I have had it. I like the shuriken basicness to the enkeis and they are going to suit the whole theme of the car. I didnt explain that the tails are black, vents, door handles, rear view mirrors and the rims. I also have black fender repeaters from an alfa 146 on way over from the UK. The Enkeis weigh a megre 12 lbs each, so theyre very light too smile.gif

The thing with Meg was like you read in books. She was in a very bad relationship and we became friends and talked for months before realising we were in love. Art and I did the knights in shining armor and went to her old apartment and got her out of there, we have been together for every moment since.

She's been inspiring me and motivating me with the Tib, she loves cars with a passion smile.gif

Welcome back to the site mang. I missed you *sniff*. LOL. Great stuff you've been doing. I like alot of it. I expected the cossies to be installed already though. Dude, you might want to search, someone did your speaker/heater vent thing not too long ago. I think it was OptimoPrime. Anyways, welcome back!

gald to see your back and on the attack my friend. you definatly didnt destroy anything, your tib is lookin better then ever.

i definatly took your vent idea with the 3.5's you should check em out. cant wait to see this crazy cosworth thing u got going on. should be something the new guys should keep an eye on

Glad to see you back among us, Mate.. I can't wait until wed to see how your hood came out.

Hey Pandy! Glad that you're doing ok. Car's loooking good! So does that woman smile.gif

Congrats on everything!
