Sorted

 

Sorting out the shed the other day I came across 2 old manifolds I intended to polish and thought I'd give one of them a spray and was surprised by the results...

Really good job on those 4 pots they look great

Next step could be a carport roof

 

Thanks Si. Car port roof is a definite, just when is the question. Not long until the car comes off road, I can't wait to get stuck in.

 

What a bargain - £55 from Springs, nice to meet you tonight



Should look OK on the old beast. I'm not sure how to tell if its bar and plate or tube and fin, if it restricts then I'll upgrade.

 

nice one Alex, that looks brand new what a bargain bud

 

I know, I don't need it yet but sods law says that none will be around when I need it. I need to read back through this thread and tot up what i've spent so far.

 

don't do it fella you'll only upset yourself and if you do don't get busted by the mrs like i did cos mine found the scrap of paper with the scooby modding price list luckly enough i managed to blag it and tell her it was a "wish list"not what iv spent so far

 

+1 never look back look forward as anyone building a decent project car will tell you,they cost big time,but reading through your project thread you have got yourself a few good bargains along the way.SJ.

 

lol, I added mine up and got to 9k on my Type R and stopped, worst thing about it is it's in bits again in the garage, which is not likely to change for the for seeable.

Ah well another 10k and it'll be all good.

 

As above, Al. Don't add up what you've spent, you'll end up needing counselling.

 

I know, I know I shouldn't. Getting frustrated now, need to keep the demon thoughts away.

 

My new mode of transport....



Just in training to use it permanently before the car comes off road.

 

I've been keeping a spread sheet

 

I daren't in case the mrs ever found it

 

Good idea. Do you have one cell for what you think it will cost and another for what it's actually costing?.

Just let her buy a £1k dress, they don't tend to have an argument after that .

 

Don't tell me you actually allowed this to happen did you??

 

Lol we're saving a shed load having it abroad rather than in the UK so letting her spend what she wanted on the dress was a good compromise. And trust me, this wasn't the most expensive one she was considering.
If you think that's bad the reception we are having in the UK we have looked at getting a "photo booth" which will be delivered on the day to the venue and picked up 3hrs later. This has been quoted at £600

 

Where's our invite, I do like a good SN wedding.

 

Will you pay for the photo booth

 

I'd buy you a pint.

 

I can only stretch to a half pint...

 

Hi can you post a link to where I can buy the oxacilic acid & the paint & laquer please

Also, what did you use & how did you get the white lettering so neat?

cheers

 

Sorry I didn't see this. Next time I might try a different method as I've read a few recently...

Relatively large update on the way....

 

Tease

 

Where's the tapping fingers on the desk icon

 

Well I've no need for the STI engine

 

Brakes now for sale...

The last pic of it in one piece



Getting the brakes off I was able to spray out 14yrs of crap up under the arches and see just how bad things are...




Massively surprised how light the rear 2 pots are though...
