Wows it's been ages since I updated this. Life just been to chaotic with work looking after master gb, and the wife setting up her new business. It's all just a bit crazy. I'll try and bring this up to date now.

Not much has really happened mods wise it's be getting driven everyday and it's not missed a beat.

This was on the way to japfest

Then on the way home from work a deer decided to introduce itself to the sr

Managed to get it bodged back together

Right its been a while since I have updated, I don't get much time to tinker at the moment between work, the little man and helping the wife where I can with her business there isn't much time left. When i have had time I've been trying to get the daily fixed which sadly has been sapping most of my funds between parts and extra fuel using the sr most days, but its just about done.



In the little time I have had to work on the sr I've been planning some jobs for when its not being used daily. and in the run up to Japfest it actually got some attention as the MOT a few weeks before highlighted how worn the front brakes were so i bought a set of levin twin pots from Russ, he was a pleasure to deal with and he just managed to get the kit to me in time for japfest.



so japfest prep started on the thursday with the plan of getting my rear calipers painted and some rust treated on the rear arch and a few other jobs. Whilst wiping the arch down with thinners ready to paint i managed to spill thinners all over my wheels reacting with the paint meaning i also ended up with a set of wheel to paint to.



reacted BALLS!

ppfffftttt don't be daft buddy! the road is years away! lol!!!! And no, no time scheduled yet, need to sort the seats and probably suspensions components before we tackle the now infamous "Leak".



Looking forward to bumper and spoiler updates buddy!!!! I vote keep it simple and let the turbo do all the talking, OEM bumper, IDWorkz TTE splitter, BOOM!
