Man! to think it's been almost a year since i last made a post on the car!
Things have been going at a snails pace to put it lightly!

The manual conversion was a success and after a few small hiccups here and there (playlist for the swap listed below) lil zoomie was finally ready for a cert!

Almost everything was fine except for an issue where the rear passenger shock, no matter how much we adjusted would contact the chassis, it was only after a few back and forths that we realized there was a slight pinch in the body which needed to be repaired.
So that was about a month back, and today i finally got an update from my panel beater that the damage has been repaired and the car should be good to go back for a recheck!

Thankfully the Cert guy has been pretty flexible so i wont need to pay for a recheck given the car was away getting repairs done, so will give it a week or so to just double double check that everything will be up to scratch, before it's HOPEFULLY final recheck

Here are a couple of after photos of the repairs complete. the yellow marking is where the bolt used to sit versus where it currently sits now.
