Trouble is I go on holiday on Friday afternoon until the next Friday, so I ca only work on it now tomorrow night and Friday morning!

However....tonight managed to get the hubs out, albeit one with the driveshaft still attached. Dad is going to press out the studs tomorrow and press the new ones in in preparation for putting it all back together tomorrow night....fingers crossed.

Nothing for a man of your caliber, fingers crossed mate :)

Teeheehee....

So near yet so far! New hub studs are 12.5mm but have 14mm splines, ugh, splines stick out through hub by 2mm so now need to drill the bells out to 14.5mm. Hassle! Lol!!

Just go back to standard ;)

Now where's the fun in that?!

All finished yesterday, whoop!

Looking good

Thanks Pete!

Looking good Adam :)

Looking almost as good as mine ;)

It's looks good, not as nice as a MK1 of course :whistle:

Cheers matey!

Jealousy is a terrible thing ;)

I am jealous of your fuel
Filler cap.. Better make sure it's still in place when you leave POL ;)

Looks great Adam, great work mate, raging I'm missing POL would love to see it in the flesh

It's just a vinyl, Daz as usual came up trumps :D

Gutting, I'm sure there'll be other times though!

Some photo-whoring from PoL...

Had a nose around your car yesterday but a tool kit seemed to be out at the time so I didn't want to interrupt. Looked (looks) great though interesting to seem the modification in the flesh also.

You should've said hello, I was only fitting the front strut brace at the time, lol.

Haha fair enough.

Fairly progressed with her all round, a grand job being done of it too.

Yeah, she's come a long way!

I still miss the Purple :wacko:

Still has purple rear callipers and purple patches under the bonnet. Which reminds me, where to buy lime green paint :D

Swap the rears at saloon day with me?

Just wondering, have you had any clearance issues with the dark ice coolant cap cover?

Dark Ice are doing a recall on the expansion tank caps

I didn't notice any marks on the cap when I was under the bonnet yesterday....but I did say on the way home that the bonnet looked slightly raised in that corner. Probably bent it all out of shape shutting it :rofl:

Not sure if I'm going to that.

Does it have rear discs?
Bet they are the smaller ones so I would say yes to Skillin.

Yup rear discs but I'm not overly bothered about the size of them, ive gone overkill on the front brakes now so stopping is not a problem :D

You are scary though :laugh:

This is true, frightening!!! :crazy:

In other news, I'm getting my private plate back :weakbench:

Your car certainly looks a lot better than the first pictures!

That's just NASTY :laugh:

Thanks :smart:

Well, close enough :shifty:

What's happening with the front splitter you bought still not fitted

Not yet, just not had a chance. It's sitting in the garage all dusty now, lol.

MOT passed today so now I'll concentrate on playing more, hopefully get the splitter on soon! :cigar:

Well done on the mot Adam now don't bodge on that splitter :laugh:

Plates finally back where they belong :D
