The door clearance issue could be due to worn hinges, just check when opening your door to see how much they drop.

no its not in that way, the hinges are 100% the skirt moulding was to short in the door jam area, did a bit of a cut and shut, glassed it up and a bit of bog and looks identical to other side now :-)

Was about 5mm to short in the door jam.

this weekend is the weekend :-), ive been putting it off and putting it off but its finally happening now, will be recieving the rest of the kit on thursday night or friday night, and the fitment will begin :-), should be driving my baby for the first time in 3 months this weekend WOOT.

Also have some 97 foglights coming from japan shipped for $270 :-) yahoo auctions woot, pays to spend a few hours searching 200 pages of soarer stuff HAHA.

Some 97 rear taillights would make it now, but my bank account is bone dry :-(

Interior is all converted to carbon fibre interior instead of woodgrain :-), i have a toyota altezza steering wheel that should bolt straight up :-), ive got the majority of my stereo setup now, just gotto figure out where to mount bloody 4 channel amp as wont fit above the fuel tank

Don't stress too much mate, you will probably do twice as bad the first time it scrapes a driveway.
