Well, I put to bed the alternator trouble, as I banged a holiday in. So I have a car again! Then took it for a little run and then some fuel. I belled a place that did my dads exhaust system, to see what exhaust options are for me. Laugh is he wanted 500 to 600 quid to do a full blown stainless system!! The piper one is in your face, but then again that could be the bit section we made up blowing like f*ck. So I might ask my mot tester to see if he can do out with that.
I could revert the car back to standard system, which might not be a bad idea, as I haven't really seen any gains with the piper unit.
I have sorted out a replacement hose for the one that went on it back in 2012! fuckin costly mind! £60 but at least I can bleed the heater system. I am looking at re doing the rear wheel bearings too, as I think one is well noisy, my dad thinks its the exhaust, but he is just a fuckin fanny, at the best of times!
I am keeping my eye out for better dampers too, as I am wanting to upgrade the front units. Also either I will change the 3 gauges or just wire the f*ckers in, but not sure on that one. Also I want to get the old bumpers painted and new lights on too. So that I can put the car to bed, I mite just say f*ck it and put the car in for a full blown body restore.
As this shell is worth it, like my old rio.
