Love this car, looks awesome. Good to see it getting some tlc again.
What are you planning with the gearbox?
Fitting the verniers will be a massive PITA, labour cost of belts all over again . How come they didn't fit them when they fitted the cams?

I know! It's about damn time she got some attention!
Found two bloody spots of bird droppings this morning on the bonnet though

Thanks! So do I! The newer calipers will be going that colour too!
Not many around like it and XPG lends itself to a lot of bright colours!

Thanks mate! She definitely needed the TLC!

Just a bit of an overhaul really. It's a little whiney, I have a torsen to go in and its still on its original clutch so that needs done so it'll get the lightweight flywheel put on too!
Probably after summer though.
She needs new tyres on the front and the tax paid this month.
Not sure how I'll manage that haha.

I did see some brand new 180 boxes on eBay so that might be a cheaper venture and it will have nice new synchros in there and then put the diff in with that.

Have to see how much the birthday brings this year!

I also think the front left shock is shot now, along with the aircon not being cold :/

Bloody things.

They didn't fit the verniers as they couldn't work out how to do it "?
Since been told by mark that it's simple lol.
They fit on the shirt belt sides so hopefully locking the engine means only the exhaust cams will move meaning it should be an easier job than the full lot!
