    Not updated this in nearly a year!!! Crazy how time flies!

    Only a small update, strut brace i had fitted was ridiculously cheap and tacky, Fouled the power cap massively and restricted engine movement. After seeing one that i knew would fit around the engine as it is set up (OMP style brace) I purchased it off eBay, it was in need of some serious refurbishment

    As it came:



    In need of some love, paint flaking off due to being poorly prepped and painted white, also seized solid adjustment bolt as you can see





    Anyways after lots of hours of stripping, heating, un-seizing and painting in my new work (HGV bodyshop) it was rstored to its former glory... and i uncovered the old girl from the garage to fit it

    Old brace... cheap and tacky



    New brace fitted





    Now you may all be thinking ''Why on earth are you spending money on a car you can't insure and has been sat in the garage for the last 2 years''... well i turn 21 in 5 months, so i can then get temp insurance cover for the summer months, and i also reach the start of the insurance prices coming down for me too, although i have since aquired 3 more points in March but we will see...

    We'll see what happens
