After selling some bits on eBay, clearing a friend's garden and doing random errands for my parents I've earned a pretty penny this week!
Sadly, it all had to be put aside till I get paid but I did spend a sneaky 25pound on a coilpack K11 centre pipe though!
Will be here midweek ready to be fitted early October or even end of this month. Just need to get a new standard backbox and some gaskets.

Today I...
attempted to change left front suspension arm, haven't the patience for doing another one, so off to the mechanic with it :/
...am currently 95% finished changing the front brakes, just need to bleed them and do a break in
...am about 75% finished stripping the interior. Going to go black with all the grey plastic, and trying to come up with a plan for the door cards.

13x4.5J standard, I thought it was 5.5J. I worked it out to be ET-13, but then again maths isn't my strong point, neither are offsets
the under bar front to back ??WOW ! I cant believe the difference that has made, its a different car lol
Remember to show us what you come up with, particularly if it's light weight!

Yes mate
its solid mounted at the front, but rubber mounted at the back (near your feet) and transmits a lot of cabin noise/vibration if the rubbers are shotI've no idea at atm what I want to do. I like the lightweight idea, but until i get a second car, i have to have it somewhat comfortable when i have passengers.
I'm stripping it to find any rusted through places, but also to save some money getting the sills replaced.
I should have been able to get everything finished today, but have been bedridden with a horrible cold. Feeling much better now, and should be able to finish tomorrow.

Fitted white LEDs behind the dials. Blue were nice but made important speeds hard to see.
Also fitted blue LEDs to the indicators on the dials so they have nice blue arrows
And I noticed the I do have a space for a fuel light but the bulb and bulb carrier is missing!
they all have the space for the fuel low light, but not many have the sensor on the fuel pump, high spec only
