Carlos182's Astor Grey GTi-6

[Scott]

So we've just spent the weekend breaking Vaughan's 6, which now means I have a shiny set of brakes to put on the car...well maybe not so shiny, they were painted green, then the visible half was painted yellow so I currently have some multicoloured callipers! Those will be being stripped shortly and then resprayed, along with the inlet manifold.

I've also just gone and bought a Lynx head gasket kit for the car as there is a suspect (i.e. probable) head gasket failure. I didn't pay the full price though, I just saw ont he 6 forum someone was selling the full MLS gasket kit with bolts and washers for half the price they sell for new, so thought it'd be rude not to buy it.

I also need to fit my rear beam mounts to the car as I've had them now since Pugfest (fail!). Also the spare set of headlights are going to be sent off to that bloke up north with the funny accent (and much worse HG issues) to do some magic to and mask the lights. All in all not much actually done this weekend with my car directly, though stripping Vaughan's old 6 has helped me massively to get things underway Pics tomorrow when I give the car a wash before Ace!
