Next weekend, myself, grant and neil are heading round to get a LOT of work done on my car.
We're going to be working from Saturday 2nd June until Monday 4th June.
Plans for the weekend are:
- Boot install
- Bumper welding
- Quickshift install
- Bump strip painting
It would be awesome to get as much of this done as possible, as the following week the car is going to be off the road for a turbo change.
The more hands the merrier for this work - and i'll happily pay in beer tokens as we're heading out saturday night.
Grants postcode is pm me for it and there is a premier inn nearby (i've been told) found here.
If anyone wants to come along, say hi; you're more than welcome, come along, lend a hand; more than welcome.
Be nice to see you ladies! Again, the more the Merrier!

His car already starts on its own and tries to run away, having his postcode on there isn't going to help things
I might pop down for a bit
Ginge I'm not sure why you can't get the turbo done at the same time tbh, if you've got the bumper off you might as well take a few other bits off as well and have it all done at the same time! Especially if you have a whole 4 days.

This!
Guys if you want to stay in the premier Inn, it's literally .5 of a mile from mine and about a mile from grants.
I also get a discount there so before you book, let me know. We could all go out Saturday night. I know me grant and Ginge are going to the peel in kingston (Sam I'm sure you know this place). For anyone who doesn't know, brings lots of pound coins and you will have a epic evening!

Yeah I never went in the main part, just the hall. And the backstage area too...filmed a couple of bands there and did an interview with The Fall of Troy (not sure if anyone will know them) on the roof! Good times
