looks very nice greg wots next then?

Thanks Woody Mate

The Next thing is Bucket seats (Now a Must!) and maybe a respray after the Ring this year! lol

[GregE102]

Sounds like you've been busy with the car Greg, I love the boot set up now with your water injection tank sitting neatly under the spare wheel. Be good to see the car out at some of the trackdays, you have to let us know when your going to them.
Not jealous at all of your suspension set up... much.. lol My brothers got KW's on his S70 and they are phenominal, well worth the high asking price
Get some more pictures of the car in the sunshine she's hiding in the shade in that shot

Hello Andy, How's it all going?
Snetterton is my local Track but I will also be doing Cadwell at some point and hopefully the Ring this year!
As for the Suspension its now been Apparently? made better with different valve Technology, and and other minor changes it now has a 22 click settings instead of just a complete turn! and the Inox coating to prevent further corrosion, I thought they where already one of the better ones on the market for that!

Has to be said though I bought mine based on Blackbeasts And having driven both can't find any difference! I wished now I had asked for first refusal on them, As I was away when they came up for grabs and by the Time i got home, there was already a deposit taken! So I bite the Bullet and ordered a new set, And now they are back up for sale again! Doh!
But never mind they are a great shock whether Blackbeasts & your Brothers model or the current ones!

As for the Pic's the paint is looking very old now and a respray is on the cards but its just a case of when?
Put it this way I not dare out it next to your's! lol it would put me to shame!

Cheers Greg

[GregE102]

Very Pleased to read that you have finally done it all Greg after everything you went through a few years ago. Keep up the good work and i hope to see it in the flesh one day

I think there is more to do! Now it handels so well you need bucket seats to hold you in place better as it corners so well, and some harnesses for the track which are removable?
The search will be long to find something that matches the car and dose not look out of place and it needs to come in Jacamo size as well lol!

Cheers Greg

Focus RS seats like the one I had. You managed to fit in it!

Your welcome for a passenger lap anytime Andy!
And it would be good to you in your car as well, Yikes better try and get it painted before you get here lol!

Yes but my rear end has grown since then!!
I am not sure what to go for?
I have seen these but am unsure of the quality as I know pictures can and generally do lie!

Nice one, was going to ask you a Combe 2 years ago but you seemed quite busy most of the time so decided against butting in...

[Madbloke100]

Looking good

[GregE102]

Update and at last it has been painted! and the pics don't really do it justice!

Still need to dye the bumpers but here are a few pic of what Tez did to my car, I was shocked to start with!















Looking rater Sad

[GregE102]

But then they did some of this! quite a few time's its had two coats of pain and three lots of lacquer and was oven'd quite a few time wet and flatted quite a bit of which i am not sure how many times? then finally the did two coat of profesional wax.

And it came out looking like this, and for once I can say the photo's don't do it justice!










More to follow when i have done the trim and bumpers!
But I am Over the Moon with it to say the least
Thanks to Tez & Emma again for looking after me, feeding me, collecting me from the train station, all the trips down to the body shop to check on it and of course getting an excellent job done!
Thanks Greg

Hi Andy! Tanks mate, I am chuffed to bits with it, still a few things to do believe it or not! I need new roof strips as mine are shot to bits and have to get round to doing the trim gell will most likely give it a go today!
I will not be tracking it for a month yet to allow the paint to fully harden even though it has been in an oven a fair few times!
But when i do the next track day come along for passenger laps and use your skills for a photo session! will be appreciated and needed lol

Cheers Greg
