It really wouldn't. I'll lend a hand.. once mine's spotless

[Matt]

Haha well I'm there Friday and Saturday so think in two days flat out with several people it should be done

[mark_airey]

I wont be there until midday on Sat, because the Mrs won't take my chain off until Sat

[Matt]

Hahaha epic! I'll make sure I save you a decent camping spot

[mark_airey]

Hahaha epic! I'll make sure I save you a decent camping spot

I'll kip in the car most likely matey, CBA with all this tent shite at 6AM I'll get up and take pics of everyones cars while most people are sleeping

[Matt]

Haha fair play, I'd do the same but I dont think the misses would be happy about sleeping in the car for 2 nights

[kentiiboii]

Haha well I'm there Friday and Saturday so think in two days flat out with several people it should be done

so your paying for the beers yes?

I'm getting a decathlon pop up tent
I a massive tent last year at pvs and it rained and windy trying to get the tent down was terrible.
So I plan on buying a pop up tent and just shoving it in boot if I can't get it up.
I think I'm leaving soon as the car is clean and mrs finished work on Saturday.

[Matt]

[Matt]

Was saying this, this morning.

Although some progress has been made, painted my new tailgate badge yesterday

[Matt]

Soooo...... What's peoples prediction on the xsi with a '6 box

[Jonny b]

Soooo...... What's peoples prediction on the xsi with a '6 box

I predict it will be an xsi with 6 gears

Lol

[4WayDiablo]

Lmao!^^^
Just go whole hog

[Poodle]

As above, why stop at the gearbox.

[samass]

*cough* V6 *cough*

[Matt]

Haha all in good time. I really want to see if it's true about the '6 box. Someone said that a xsi with a '6 box is nearly as quick as a '6 so I wanna find out if it's true. I don't think it's really going to make sure difference lol


Maybe a '6 engine later in the year

[Matt]

Some recents.

Headlight protectors got given these for free as they were painted black, bit of thinners later......







And getting to work on my lensos

[Fozzy]

The 6 box will make it heavier and slower just get a 6 engine, oh and you wont be able to turn right as easy when parking.

[Matt]

Shhhh fozzy. Im in two minds tbh. I want to do it to see if will keep with a '6 but to be honest if if goingbto end up '6ing it at the end I the year may aswell just wait lol

[Fozzy]

Be patient, its easier to fit the box when the engine is out anyway.

I still don't think you will ever do the conversion though, by the sound sof it you will still be sanding your wheels at the end of the year. I was going to comment on facebook but didn't - nitromors will take ages ide go ahead with what you have now decided and just sand back and fill any chips then paint.

[Matt]

Haha the conversion is going to happen, just need to pay my credit card off first haha. My main priority was always getting it looking how I liked. It's nearly there now. Just got to source a cheapish, lowish mile engine and gearbox, and then consider what else I'm going to have to swap over aswell lol

[Fozzy]

Hmmm i really should empty the shed of the 6 engine............
