Dum-Dum's Black Rallye

[Dum-Dum]

So, erm, this is kinda awks.
I haven't actually updated this thread since before Christmas and sadly not much has been happening.
The 1 year anniversary of me owning her passed uneventfully
She had a new tyre on the nearside front earlier in spring and needs the nearside rear doing prior to going anywhere as it's sub 2mm in places.
She's also had a new battery under warranty (Yassuza Silver lasted under a year) and a Richbrook Discarnect to try and protect the battery.
She's currently off the road and has been for about a month but will be taxed for the shows.

So here she is late January looking absolutely filthy.

In February while doing a U turn I brushed the front bumper off a kerb causing this damage .F*ck you GTi6 steering lock!

I also replaced some more of the decals that were the wrong sizes or missing.

And she's now on a little over 91k

Anyway today I've cracked on with a bit of work in preparation for her 16th birthday on Thursday. I've had the blow torch on the exhaust mounts and bent them so that the tailpipe sits nice and high and nearly central in the cut out.

I finished removing the dodgy stud conversion and the taper seated nuts that was using and have found that both sides have one bolt hole where a bolt wont tighten so that's gonna require 2 new hubs

Got under the car to try and finally fit my rear MLR braided hoses (I did the fronts months and months ago). I had given them a blast of WD40 last night and this morning but I have managed to f*ck most of the brake lines. Below is the worst one, one of the short uppers twisted so I'm just gonna replace it as it's £2 and the other post hose one went back together but appears to be hand made (badly) and is now leaking at the join. Probably explains why the car wasn't braking particularly well on that corner.

Heres the part numbers from pug for new brake hoses, not too bad a price really.

Doesn't she look pretty though. Providing the weather stays nice I'm gonna go back out and wash both cars, probably try and throw a couple of layers of wax on the rallye.
