looks spot on Dan :) and there isn't any more pipe than on a LET to be honest, so don't know what folk are worrying about.
can we meet at 9 instead dan? half 9 just seems a bit lazy/late to me lol
Honie, colsterworth is on the A1 at grantham, near corby glen. used to be a roundabout, now its a flyover
Yeah nine will do :)
Pipework looks nice anyway so the more the better lol right oh no worries will meet you there!

Err no not atm as my camera is 60 miles from me, I will be at billing tomorrow though :)

They look smart I think, any way on Tuesday I bought this little beast with the intentions of having a bit of fun and doing it up..
I have stole the interior out of it to fit to the TD and made some custom door cards. The Black one will be getting a black interior hopefully leather :) and maybe a 3.2v6 at the same time.. any way I will start another project thread for that... here is the interior what do you think?

Really like this one :) needs the old sticker back on though lol "no smoke no poke" lol lol
Lmao. I got pulled the other day for having NO silencer lol. So I better not try and attract more attention lol
Thank you though.

Some of you may realise she is wearing Yorkies old boots :)
Well any way this was the last time it looked like that, over winter she is having a 'face lift' :P I have a lot of plans, mainly trying to make it look standard+. I am going to respray the full car, fit new sills and arches.. refurb the wheels in the original colours etc etc. I say standard plus as I still want a huge FMIC and i still want window surround, but this time I want the grey blue Vinyl. I just want it to look subtle.
Any way I have sourced a new Bonnet, Old one is for sale BTW. And have spent about 4 hours smoothing it.

I have just 400 wet and dryed it and its come up amazing, Just needs the 2k High build now.

I have bought a new grill to and have preped that :)

I have also got a set of rub strips to go back on her and I have sold the skirts :) Cant wait to get it finished for PVS12.
Comments welcome Dan
Pvs will b good this year! Convoy down will b epic
Oh yes, Have you found the Windscreen rubber by any chance, Need it really before I start painting.. :) Cookie is hopefully getting a 2.6 v6 for his now :D
Yea it's here somewhere I'll dig it out 2 moz. Is he? Haha that will b awesome! We will wait for you don't worry ;)
Cheers Dave, I will set off an hour before and meet you at the gate fella :).. smoking away like an old double decker :P
Haha good to see you've started it pal if you need a hand or anything let us know! Will look smart lad hopefully well all be in novas for pvs next year!
Cheers Honie.. I may need a hand soon, would you have any sanding blocks I could borrow. or any small heaters??
I have both mate. Got a good gas heater that warmed my unit a treat
Yer what he said heaters a good one to! Just give us a shout pal more then happy to help! Aslong as your good at making a brew :)
I also have a space heater, but want a few so the heat is nice and even. Would I be able to borrow them when I paint it?
I am indeed.. going to start stripping the shell soon.. need to sell some bits though as I am running out of space to store the parts!!
bonnet looks smooth :) I like
You will have to come to feel it Lewis. Tis Mint Yooo
gas space heaters create moisture not recomended for drying paint.
Cheers Kev, I will stick to them normal heaters then!
it its 2k then buy some rocket upol make it and it makes paint dry faster. if its waterbased paint then dry it with a hair dryer and put the rocket in the clear coat.
Will do Kev, cheers
Update time..
Stripped a few bits off her, and also Got my new bumper and rub strips offered up :)

I hope so Connor, Should look very different too even though it will be 'standard'
i think the blue pin stripe is going to make a nice change, its guna look good when its done.
The blue pin stripe is a Merit plus thing, the SX's have a Red pin stripe, and I am afraid I want a red one as I want it to look 'standard'
