thanks man, the sun strip covers up the sumping roof liner. And im a btcc kinda guy, living the dream in a sun strip way.
If you have some photo's thatmwould great, cheers
and discs wise I have no idea, the pug1off guys had to find them to fit as there is only a mm of clearance between the wheels.
pads are oe. And squeak for about the first 100metres.
after that no noise and great power/modulation
Was nice to meet you at the pfc expo buddy! Absoloutly love this car! And youve done some cracking mods to this!

Great to meet you to mate, hope to see you again some show year.
any plans as yet?
thanks, both our cars are coming on hey.
Car looks good buddy. It was super tidy at the expo!
Goodbye for now old girl.
see you in the summer I hope.....
So after a winter sorned away in the garage, the old girl is back on the road.
took it out for a blast today, forgot just how much fun it is.
seems the discs may have a bit of a wobble now. Slightly seized before, fingers crossed they true out with a little use.
fitted a mocal 16 row oil cooler after a little fabrication of the bumper to squeeze it in.
Oil changed and ready to go.
now to figure out what shows to do.
anyone thinking of retrocar live this year. Looks like it could be good.
cheers
Today I decided a new look for the car is due. The wrapped bonnet is gone, will begin painting it this week with luck, back to standard.
considering ralley blanks in replacement for the fogs.
may colour code spoiler and rubbing strips as well.
going for a cleaner smoother look.
ill try and keeps photo's coming.

Yes mate, remember your car. Great day hey?
Indeed my engine is clean, abit ocd i guess, aiming in time to make it a show car. Many hours to go.......
So I have comitted to the fact this car is only ever thrashed. So let the stripping out begin.
then two fixed buckets and maybe an omp steering wheel. Let the real fun begin....
photo's to follow.
So the strip out has begun and so far bar the horrible sound mat stuff it has all gone to plan.
Cheeky rear ender
Are stripping begans
When you aiming to get it on track? Have you noticed the rear higher now

Back end seems a tad higher, not a bad thing. Now im figuring out where to stop with the stripping. Track wise i am booked in at retro car in august at rockingham. And hills at prescott of course, 4 runs booked so far.
Today was hot right, so hot I took the bonnet off the car.
that and it went into the body shop. Come on shiny bonnet.
Simple bit of colour coding as I have a spare 5 minutes.
Just given the old girl a wax prior to pugfest tomorrow. We are ready to rock.
Another one
Sunny so far
Sunny so far.
Hope that's better.
So the wheels I purchased at a steal have finally hadna refurb and as soon as they are wrapped in sticky rubber will be fitted with there new carbon oz centre caps. (Fromthe US, so still waiting for them).
