I took off my front bumper cover to get it repainted after someone kicked it or something which added to the fact that the place that painted it before coudn't get it right so there's layer upon layer of paint, so I'm getting it done right myself with the help of the body shop guys. I'll also be doing the hatchback too as they didn't take the right proceedures to remove the tiny amount of rust around the edges, so now the ubbles are back!

I'll probably repaint all the inerior panels too and perhaps replace the carpet. Then next spring I'll work on a new motor for it.

Hah! you say that now
Can't beat around 500ish HP

I'm figuring with the 331 and new heads/cam
Around 350RWHP (yes completely forged internals)
and I'm going to re-up my shot of the Giggle juice(return to my 150 shot, currently running a 75 shot)
Pushing me to a staggering 470ish RWHP

Oh, I'm all jittery with excitement!
