[razer121]

Looks incredible! its an amazing bit of kit and you have done wonders to it!

[[GSV]Trig]

Whens it going to be done?
All I need to do now is put the prop on the Cav then its MOT time..

[fraggie]

If I can get the alarm on in the next two weeks then hopefully at the start of august

Had a fairly decent quote like for like at £911 not too bad I thought

You sorted your fuel rail now? And given it to someone who doesn't overtighten things?

[[GSV]Trig]

Aye, got a new fuel rail from one of the guys on CTOR, £11.70 posted...
Thats on, injectors are in, shocks and springs are done, interiors all back in, its even been washed..

[fraggie]

Well after being let down by two companies (wheel spacers and show plates ) I got some more work done

My cold air trunking did arrive!


And snakes nicely through the car...



Also my new alarm was installed! The guys were great and did a really good job fitting. They did rip out some melted wiring from when I tried to start the engine over a year ago!




Now nicely fitted in however and I can lock and unlock the doors

On with the sill plates!


And some spraying for the spoiler struts! I got a damned run with the colour however so it will be flattened back tomorrow and some more colour put on




The rear bump strips were sprayed but im not too happy with them. Im after some mint bump strips for re-doing





More tomorrow! So close now

[[GSV]Trig]

Mines in for its MOT wednesday chap, best get a move on...

[fraggie]

I will be hoping for an MOT next weekend. Think you may well win fella!

[[GSV]Trig]

tbh I'm expecting a fail but we'll see...

[Colossous]

Just dropped in for the 1st time in a while and have to say its turned out great duder.

[fraggie]

Well a day of mixed fortunes!

I was going over to halfords to buy some better paint for the struts... only for the clutch cable to snap on the purple cally

Lucky I managed to get to halfords to get the paint before being towed back!

Now I have got the old cable out and the cable is a vauxhall only part This means that I have to have the day off work to fix it. However, this presents an opportunity in that I can take the white one to be MOT'ed tomorrow and drive it to and from work and fix the purple one at the weekend

I will see what happens

Anyway, when I got back I flattened down the struts for the respray... which the reacted with the primer

I had to take them both back to metal to get them sprayed!

First with the acid etch...


Then with the white primer...


Then the yellow




Bumper on again!


Not too far to go

Spacers and spoiler on and some show plates to finish it off for shows...

Oh and I might beat you again trig

[fraggie]

Well trig... ive beaten you

So today she finally became road legal! MOT this morning which she sailed through! One advisory on handbrake but ill adjust that

So when I got back from taxing her I had a fully legal car... christ ive been getting some looks! Plus someone shouting nice car as I drove through the village

Anyway when i got home on went the spoiler







And i know there are going to be some people who hate the spoiler and will doubt why its there. Its on the touring car therefore its on my car... and it comes in quite useful!





Wheel spacers and show plates to go before shes totally 100% done!

[Behemoth]

Swap for a Vectra ?

Like it alot now it's a case of job done
