To paint the rims took 2 hours.The etch primer dries so fast
To take the snorkel off about 15 mins at the most.Longer to put it back on because you have to seal the air box ...

Thanks Steve,
I've been thinking about getting a snorkel, but I don't want it on the car all the time. Unlike most other mods a snorkel is not a beautiful thing.

Finally screwed in my UHF (and put the panel infront of the shifter area back in - maybe I should have avoided the screws and held it in with the netting... ah well, hindsight is a wonderful thing hey :P )

Couldnt really find a "good enough" area for the mic to be stuck (put it on with double sided tape) so where it landed was where it will stay (for now)







Then saw this little guy when taking the bins out:



Found out later that he keeps trying to get into the old mans workshop and gets rather stroppy when he gets swept out with a broom heheh
