No just saw you admiring my graphite cam cover and wheels! Grey with a black top would look great?

Drove mine for the first time in 10 days today. Certainly goes well - my bargain clip sounds sweeter than the old motor and the blue flame sounds great! Just a minor cold idle prob to sort out at some point.

Not much progress so far.... Picked up a new front bumper (current one is slightly rippled) from Pacific Works then headed to the bodyshop but only had an hour to start stripping the car (im doing some myself to keep the costs down). Managed to strip the rear lights, centre planel and the part that houses the centre brake light. That involved stipping out a lot of interior parts to get to the bolts.

Yeah that rear window surround that holds the high brake light is a right ball ache to remove!

Yeah it needs a wash and I'll rub down and hammerite the crash bars before the bumpers go back on.
