carfreak85Looks good. Your gonna have some stiff competition from Wagonpowaa at WCSS7 though! :brow:

 

whoa his brat is NICE... its going to be mighty stiff indeed... i like his role bar and brushguard... i've been trying to get those for a while...

This is a bit off topic, but how did you put your pictures in the message body? I have been trying to do that, but can't figure it out.

it's,it's beautiful man.

 

what color paint is that? looks like a pearl like

what you do with the other fog light that wasn't broken?

i just figured it out too... here is how i do it... go to your pictures page and click on the picture to make it as big as possible... then i right-click and go to properties then i copy the exact URL... then i click on the little picture icon (the one beside the # icon) in the toolbar above the letterbox(the thing you type in) then i paste the URL into that window then click OK or whatever... thats it...

 

felipe01foresterVery nice, Zef. I'd kill for a Brat like yours. Well, not really... :-p

 

AHHHH:eek: ... stay away...:rolleyes:

 

75subiei missed something

 

whats the 56k warning again?

you know... there are lots of pics... that many pics may take a while on a 56k??? i think...

 

subie94it's,it's beautiful man.

i can't remember what the name of the paint is... John(mudrat79) calls it rat piss yellow... its a stock colour... just a newer coat...

 

as for the fog lights... both are broken... the lens covers are gone and the bulbs are broken... they wouldn't be hard to repair... my buddies dad runs a plastic buisness... i could score some scraps and make covers then replace the bulbs...i got some old jetta fog lamps too... they are all cheapies... not really worth saving... but all 4 of those lights i got on for around 40-50 bucks...
