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 right

then 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.

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 :)

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. Got my promotion at work so gonna work on paying of turbo kit now.

On a side note does anyone have all the diff's ratios discussing a possible upgrade for the future when cars up and running

In two minds to swap out the loom for my tucked 98 spec one but kinda straying from the plan of just focus my time and money on the power side for some summer fun

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
