And i've got a boatload to do on the car.
1. Fit fuel pump
2. Fit front mount
3. Spray front bumper
Bumper is going from green to white anyone know whether i should start with a grey primer, then go over in white primer or go straight for lathering it in white primer
Oh and pick up my greenhouse that has blown over in the wind and wash both cars.
Only way to start is with 8 cans of lager tonight

Yeah would have done, got the core fitted...er thats about it.
Took me three hours to get the bumper off, had to get some security torx bits to get the reg plate holder off, too frickin windy to spray anything, fuel pump still in box..meh **** it bbq few more beers try again tomorrow.
Oh on the upside I've got to get two front tyres as the others are illegal, through to the canvas b0ll0cks
Keg on order

Scoobysmeet

Yeah the bolts for the number plate holder are ridiculous we just cut the whole lot out of mine the bumper is a pain to remove as long as you get it all done by the 9th for the meet not good news about the tyres tho. What offset are your 18's?

Well its the end of the long weekend (boo and hiss)
So I thought i'd do you a pic of the car back together, bearing in mind the bumper still needs flatting back and compounding after losing a day on Sunday and some tweaking with the fog covers but nearly done

AWG

iTrader: (6)

Andy, I believe it to be mile a minute/russian vine it gets hacked to bits every year.
After the remap im going to leave it, unless i come into some money, then i will be thinking arbs, anti lift, underbraces and polybushes.
I am going to get it four wheel aligned fairly soon though.
