keep it up bud and about time you got on with it.
i know mate been so lazy but the bug is back so its time to get cracking on with it now
Good luck with this mate, it looks a tidy little project. just one thing, wouldnt it have been better to paint the arches before you fitted the suspension? or was that just a trial fit? how long do you reckon is left before it's completed?
thanks for the comment mate put them on as a trial fit as my other suspension ways s*** there going to get readon anyway it finally goes over to my mate sometime this month and hopefully should be done in a couple of months i hope

Bye bye jdl youve gone to a good home and cant wait to see it once all done.

was looking at my turbo and was thinking have it rebuilt so i phoned around a few places some were dear and some sounded abit too cheap so asked about a t3 and found a place that give me a good price so gonna order it soon anyway off with the old manilfold and on with the new worst part is a have cut the hole for the afm pipe but i mite cut the lip off the slam pane anyway
here the old one sorry about the pic

How did you go about painting those wheels without removing the tyres(assuming you didn't remove them)
i put masking tape around the rim mate was a pain but didnt come out too bad but its only a trail run will do them properly when it finally goes on the road
Cool, i'll do that when i redo mine.
Fook paying ?20 have the tyres off and back on,Lol.
my mate works a kwik fit he is the manager so i take them off there my self when i do them properly
right aint been doin much on the car lately as works been hectick and a bit of family stuff so plus been looking around for a unit to rent as the council had a go at me for making too much noise (bloody cheek) so i thought it would be best to get a unit for a bit well until i finish the car got a few pics of what ive actually done when i went down there its not alot but everylittle helps ay
i thought i would do the petrol tank as it was getting on my nerves so i grinded it down the best i could
http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/b...2042008008.jpg
then i got my mates little brother as he kept asking me if he could paint the tank as i couldnt really be botherd to paint it that day so went and got some hammerite spray paint and then he was off he love sitting down and doin things lazy bugger or is that me lol
http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/b...2042008009.jpg
and heres it nice and shiney gotta say he done a good job on the old tank but these youngsters are so hard to get mtivated these days (and me lol)
