Cheers,

dont know.. just use a wire brush/low grit sand paper and rough it up before you put it on.

It all depends on how things go but I am sure I will be busy all winter.

I know for sure I am fixing my rear oilseal leak and doing the rodbearings but as for performance upgrades that will stay a secret for now.

3. Fix the reverse lights hopefully
4. Get some sunvisor clips
5. Maybe put a sub or nitrious in it
