_shaun_ Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 cheers managed to get into the garage for abit today decided todo put on my clear lenses, wasnt liking the grey on the side so decided to spray one to see what it would look like only a small thing but makes all the difference i think. sprayed one on the rightand fittedthen thinking towards the mot decided i had to sort out the mileage started like this in kmh striped in right down and prob spent best part of 3 hours attempting to wind back the mileage to mile's many dumb idea's later i managed to sort it out. didnt get any pictures of the speedo in bits as it was just a nightmare i wanted it overwith lol. started putting it all together again when i spoted it said km/h so since the back plates just a matt black i decided to try mask and spray it.turned out not to bad mental how much a pain in the tits this was for such a simple thing have new ball joints and track rod ends sitting from the glanza so i think ill put them on pre mot to try keep it all fresh but got an interview for a promotion tomorrow so thats taking priority right now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 lol you nutter i just took a photo for my records of the km reading banged on an mph converter and left it at that lol. that way i have proof of its milage without having all the ball ache. plus you not fitting glanza dials for the rev counter? and on the mot you can have the milage noted as kmh anyway as my levin always clocked in kmh. still looks good dude, fair play Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Woulda buged me everytime I looked at the clocks so since I cant do much happy to spend the time on small free jobs. Sadly my harddrive shit its self on computer so moneys going on that and my daily this month. However just had a nice call from the garage to say my car is moted. Just waiting for the car to be dropped off home. Need to speak to a mate to borrow his van and go grab an engine crane to get that n/a engine out.

_shaun_ Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 i had all my 5e parts but with the amount of time am getting to with the car i think am going to buy a pre built engine. if one pops up in a breaker soon with a good builder/spec ill jump on it if not i have a good quote from zisco to build me one. hoping july ill be running it in but always some unexpected bills that pop up that take a chunk of cash away. need to get stuff ready to spray my bumpers and that as when i get it looking abit smarter should motivate me abit more to work on it. gonna head back out and fit my recaros in it tonight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
