Glad to hear the car is all straight where it counts, even better news to hear the rice rocket is in hell now!

R spoiler tip really should be a light grey... but that's not to say it would look in black lol

The rear spoiler tip? Yes the colour is an identical match to the grey around the rear lights on a saloon

A small add on today!

The original wheel position was here:

I like the look, but to see if its a gain or not........thats gonna be a while yet

that ain't a big hammer ya WIMP lol, & glad to see a good home for the ugly wheels (propping the front of the car up lol)

ps nice to see it going back together again. I haven't got any more wheel bolts, but what about going to studs & nuts?

**JT's Mechanic** · Saturday 1st October 2011, 08:04

I believe the only things I'm short of are:

bulkhead polybush( i'll buy a new one)
front engine mount
lambda sensor
and I need to replace the pipe that goes to the clutch slave cylinder

got any of those left??

The spacers make it studs and nuts
but the chrome bolts are too big to fit behind the spacer

not all going to plan, but nevermind

did some more bits today:
