[wilson_sri]

Everyone thats commented, cheers :)
Big chap, sook me.

Craig was done by camcoat. Was £200 for coating inside and out. Might get a new intercooler when i change the turbo. But only got enough cash to get it back on the road just now.

Thanks Andrew. What you driving nowadays?

as said manifold looks great, where are you getting your head work done?

[wilson_sri]

Not updated this in a while. Not very much been happening tbh, havent touched it in weeks. But going to get cracked on and try and have it going this week.

First some new bits, got my inlet manifold, cam carrier and rocker cover powdercoated in metallic silver.

Been waiting on these for about 6 weeks now, being the reason i havent touched it! didnt see the point as i couldnt really do much untill i got the timing covers. Still missing one, but i dont really need it anyway just the top two.

Pushed it out the garage for the first time since January today lol

Found a tin of paint i got freom the bodyshop that painted the car last year, so decided to give the arches a paint up to freshen the car up a bit. Unfortunatly there wasnt enough to do a thorough job of it, but il order a bit more when i get into work on Monday.

Not 100% happy with the rooflining now that iv seen it in light. So need to play with that a bit.

No speakers in the doors?

Lets hope the powder coat stays on the cam carrier. Looks fab though chap.

Yeh, need to buy some! But been focusing all my cash on getting it going, will try get some ordered with this weeks wages.

To be honest i have my doubts it will, it all started to crack when i torqued the head bolts down :( If it lasts the summer il be happy.

[craig green]

So you expect to still own it throughout the summer?

[wilson_sri]

Not sure see what happens. Even though its up for sale, im still going to add bits to it and treat it as if i was keeping it. Although im really hoping it stays untill Billing at least!

Its inevitable that it il crack when you bolt stuff down onto it! Get a clear laquer touch up and go round the cracks, will keep it together and seal the edges :thumb:
Looking the danglies though m8 :D

You'd be off your tree to sell it at this point, atleast get a summer out of it :tard:

[Benn]

White arches look great dude!

Liking the power coated bits, they look nice.

Interiors sexy as funk! But headlinings can be a utter coont.

[Riggy]

top stuff fella. interior really suits it aswell :thumb: and after seeing it in ricks , its top quality aswell :thumb:
