UPDATE:

Car gets started on tomorrow at 8am. Yes I've said that before but it's actually in the workshop with the tools sitting next to it, I can't wait :D

Only we don't have yet is the cambelt stuff but I might just do the gearbox, clutch and DS tomorrow so I can atleast use it and do the cambelt in a couple of weeks. God I need a V6 fix!!!

Jake... Wanna buy my hatch 120? much easier to if things go wrong and probably more in suiting to your money issues :P

Work has been busy recently so money isn't too much of a problem right now :)

Doesn't mean I can afford an LSD though :p

Bonnet is off the car (had other stuff to do before coming over here this morning) and work is starting very shortly. :thumbsup:


I actually dreamt of driving my car last night, how sad am I :sleeping:

Good to hear work is picking up, you won't have time to play with the zed ;)

u could waxol its underside whiule its over the pit just an idea lol

This is to help prevent rust isn't it?

I'm not sure, it'll add weight ;)

Eventually this car will be a track toy only :p

Update:

Right today only had time to remove the battery, induction, bonnet and a couple of other bits from the bay.

Dad's gone away for the weekend so I've been trusted to do the following tomorrow.

A) Jack it up and put it nice and high on axle stands
B) Take front wheels off
C) Remove front bumper
D) Remove headlights and detango them
E) Fit uprated rear brakes.
F) Refit rear bumper (it's been knocked so is sagging)


Basically everything that has been a 'another one to add to the list' job is going to be done. The uprated rear brakes I've had for yonks but never got round to fitting them, also the headlights I've been meaning to detango for quite a while now etc.

Trying to think of what else I've wanted to do to it (cept strip it out add a ton of NOS and annihilate everything at the track :D)

I'm also going to take the front bumper and bonnet to the bodyshop to see about getting them resprayed, they are in SERIOUS need of doing....stone chip city.

yes it is its black **** lol

Ive been thinking about doing the sakme i didnt notice till the last time i washed it. Tink its from when i lived in the sticks for a year. How much does it cost?
