Good job.

Well after a few months of hassles, the car is running all good now... Finally found the problem associated with the cooling system, a friggen thermostat...
Ahh well... All good now... I can enjoy it for another month and it's back off the road until 7th January  ...

Well as it seems, cooling system was not fixed as it still decided to overheat...
Pulled the radiator out today and it was around 90% blocked... So that's all better now and back in the car...
Going cruising through the city tomorrow night to test it all out...

This custom rolla is absolutly superb. Im not rating the rims, but they suite the car and style so well.
Really how does this all cost? If your like me money doesnt matter when it comes to cars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers guys... The chromies are no longer on the car... It's riding on stockers at the moment waiting for my other Sparco rims to be fixed up and powdercoated white ...
And with all the problems as of lately, money is no longer an issue... Whatever it costs, it gets done... I work at Toyota so parts are cheap and labour is free...

How much did the powdercoating on your rims cost? Where at?
Do they do any other stuff like machining?
(I want to powdercoat my rims black and then have a metal finish on the lip)
Sweet car.
I like the Chaos rims but I have yet seen a car which they looked good on (weren't too bad on yours tho )
