Well, another sunny day today (looks like this is our Summer!), so I washed me baby - inside and out and gave her a polish.

Anyone else spend all day slaving over their motor?

Looking very Nice, Hints of Standard with subtle touches of Mod. Is that The Finished article?

I spent my Day at Work, down in the basement (dungeon) of Index Wulveramton, eyeing up nice looking staff and customers on the CCTV.

Would have thought you knew that Ade resprayed all that and finished it more a less ages ago!

Hes on a new project now, sounds promising! Sorry Ade, wont give too much away! LOL

lol cambridge - not sydney but the armadillo (Glasgows version of the opera house).

Mike - yeah small dent - some wrat though it'd be fun to tir his boot lace on the bonnet the other week! :evil:

It's pretty much finished - got a little bit to do on the centre console (just small dial changes) and then I'm leaving it.

As for the new "project" - as Whitey says drawings currently under wraps of project 2 - I'm trying to get my website up for th elast project (sooo lazy!) and am also trying to move house (god I need a double garage!)

Cheers for the comments guys - well appreciated - even if she's running rougher than a sheeps arse with winnets (need valve seals changing) :(

Not even had the engine a month :evil: guy did say though that it had been standing for a while so there maybe probs - said he'd do me a good deal on a complete strip down, rebuild, decoke, new valves, seals, rings etc...

Nicely timed for the bonus I get in April (?2.5k!)

:wink:

Phat day though.

I was at Santa Pod on Sunday. I was close to sub 14 seconds, but not quite :)

Ade, your car is looking very impressive. Can't wait to see it in the flesh sometime.
