Nip/Tuck Season 1.

many would be p2p-ers would be sad to find that i'm not actually hosting the nip/tuck season 1 for them to download and watch, but will find instead pictures of an old car being brought back to life.

not that it was dead...but it was on the verge of dying.

so anyway. i just got back from taking photos of the car which has actually started having surgery since last week! harvinder told me it'll most probably start this work. so i'm pretty happy with the speed that this project is coming.

so, ban san motor works is the place to be. situated very near ah heng's exhaust in the subang industrial area it makes life easy for me as you might know that monash uni and subang industrial aren't very far away.

all i can say is i'm very happy that the metal working is good. better than some i've seen done locally but still, sadly, we aren't anywhere near what the boys in UK or US can accomplish. but overall, for the price you pay, i guess it's all good.

so enjoy nip/tuck: season 1.

no more foot-hole!

Bodywork. Coming Soon To A Workshop Near You.

yup, after a month of waiting, it's finally happened. the car is in a bodyshop in subang industrial area.

the welder (ah ming) has apparently scheduled my car for a full body metal surgery this week. since he's got other cars to finish off first.

more details and pics as soon as i visit my tina in the hospital. :P


ps. sorry to amc guys and ecstacy elmo for not going for the track day at sepang. loaded with work as my finals approach. and harvinder, i didn't get any calls/miss-calls from your number man.
