Keep it up!
Hey guys,
So were are we up to.....
The car needed an mot before billing so whilst the wilwood setup was being fitted I had It checked over to make sure anything suspect could be sorted beforehand. It turned out all It needed was a bulb for the brake/sidelight so I sorted that and took it to work one saturday for the test. I was a bit worried as I was unsure if the lift would be low enough to get the car on and feared things being extremely awkward however It turned out I was worrying over nothing as It went on without a hitch... Bonus! It attracted a lot of attention as the guys at my new work in the service department have never seen the car before and all I heard was lovely comments which was great! It then sailed straight through the test.........

By the time I left work the weather had turned sour and the car got soaked on route home so an afternoon cleaning session was in order......
All arches cleaned and waxed up.....

Over the next few weeks I then concentrated on the engine bay getting right down into the lower corners too! Gearbox also came up well thanks to some fine wire wool.......

Then I got busy with the poorboys glaze followed by the dodo juice orange crush wax. After a few hours graft It was looking well.....

Also after acquiring a new Cat 1 system from Andy a few months back I had a friend of mine whos a long term security/audio specialist drop by and fit it making the car a little more secure which was good now Im using the car a lot more.

That brings us almost up to date! With the bulk of jobs done I was happy to use the car for the coming weekend. So started loading up......

The only thing I havent had chance to do is have the tracking/wheel alignment adjusted. I know Its out but have ran out of time for now and the car drives ok so It'll have to do for now and I'll get onto It over the coming weeks. The cars still light years away from being up their with the past few but hopefully those attending this weekend will like what they see! Looking forward to seeing you all this weekend lets pray for good weather! Cheers for reading. :)
Nick.
Nick, if I were you I'd remove the brand of alarm you've fitted from the thread... they're pretty well known and the wiring manuals are quite easily available. Although they're mostly unmarked wires I wouldn't wanna make it any easier for someone to get around!
Car looks fantastic though :)
Love this motor so much, she's gleaming now Nick. :)
Cheers and good thinking! pic now edited.Quote:
