I'll try not to

Been busy getting it ready this week. Oil change, plugs, leads etc....

Had to make an extended tow eye as my slightly deeper bumper covers it. I can remove it/ re-fit it as and when.




Also made a bracket for my air filter, its been flopping around for the past 3 years



My new track wheels



Just a wheel bearing to do, two tyres to swap and I'm good to go
May make a Video camera mount if I get a chance!

ooo look forward to see what you've chosen
A nasty coloured wheel off sounds like fun!! I have my colour in mind already, and its not orange!!

After her hectic track day on Friday I gave her a chilled out day at our local St Asaph classic car show yesterday. We had a great day and had fab weather

Our club NWCScoobyclub scooped first prize for best stand



Next to mrs blu-scoob's car





Really surprised but I got second place car in the modified class, well chuffed

Decided to paint my intercooler today. It looked really tatty and was wicking me off!

Before




Thin layer of acid etch primer



And finally a thin layer of satin black



Back together



Makes it look really 'oem' now

Just spotted this tread and once I started to read I could not stop , An hour or so later I have reached the last post. I must say what an awsome job you have done on your car and this tread is just as good. Have you have any engine mods in the pipeline...
Will keep an eye on this tread now and well done again..
