New hood pins installed, no more lift or flap, very reassuring.

The new tires though are the best, much more comfortable ride, way better height, can easily drive almost anywhere now, including speed bumps.
So much better, but still looks very aggressive and low whilst being functional.

Well the end of the driving season is hitting Whistler, while Im very excited to be snowboarding in a month, Im sad to say goodnight to the 7.

She treated me great this summer only needing a new battery, alternator (one of the only orig parts, so very due) and a coolant leak that I found and fixed in under two hrs. All in all I count myself lucky and couldn't be happier!

Some pics as its criminal to post without pics.

Looking so good. Definitely the nicest Fortune build I've ever seen. Love the wheels. Well done for persevering with the hood fitment. Well worth it!!

After all of this work it's a shame to see you selling it.

Hope you manage to get a buyer to offer you your asking price of 65k haha
