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...

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.

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.

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

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

Sorry I didn't see this. Next time I might try a different method as I've read a few recently...
https://www.scoobynet.com/wheels-tyr...refurbing.html


Oxalic - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5kg-Oxalic...item2ec852efd1
But you won't need this much.

Both colour and lacquer bought here - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HYCOTE-VHT...item19ddac540a


Relatively large update on the way....

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...
