They certainly grow on you. I love the dark green almost black paintwork with the silver accents, quite subtle but with that outstanding orange grill. Hard to move on when i keep having to pull bits off it :-(

Where do you live if 2.5 hours is local?

Pleased to see the progress you are making.

I enjoyed playing "spot the wallet" in the latest photos.

Sorry to say I still can't get excited by the BRM, it's never appealed to me.

GBE - Grant - nice guy - I've got one of his boost controllers on my maestro.

When I say locally, I mean Scotland!

Grant's a good guy. Bought loads of things off him over the last couple of years or so. Top notch service every time.

Well guys, work is almost complete on the things that I wanted to do before I went on travelling in August but some of the things I have put off until after I get back. This includes: replacement wheel, fitting mudflaps and possibly a new drivers side door.

In the last week I managed to sort out the rear washer leak but my rear motor isn't working so no water is coming out the back window but my replacement motor has arrived yesterday so wil hopefully fit that this week coming.
Also need to sort out the dash lights as they are very dim around the centre console. Hopefully an easy fix.

I will do something before I go and that is a full detail! It needs it bad. Gonna start taking the wheels off in the next couple of weeks or so and giving them a proper clean. And then the bodywork. I want it looking gleaming before I leave and gleaming when I come back!

Other then that, it's all gonna happen early next year now. So the list is, other then bodywork for the time being is:

- source replacement alloy
- 4 wheel geometry
- fit mudflaps
- another service
- replace downpipe (slight blow)
- replace backbox (very rusty)
- fit front 282mm brakes (now a definite! )
- fit rear discs and pads as worn
- fix handbrake cable
- new interior carpet (custom made) and get the seats looking like new again
