Well I graduate in May and will hopefully have a fair while to do stuff to this to make it nicer, would like to continue to tidy it up, derust bits underneath and continue to tidy up the engine bay, sort the little bits of lacquer peel, give someone off here beer/tea/bacon/all three to correct the swirls with a MOP and maybe refresh the suspension a bit too although it feels fairly tight already. Also going to sound deaden it a bit soon as the std. sound deadening is gash and do something about the faded bump strips. I did spend most of the Christmas period getting it how it is now, was a bit tatty when I got it in November, so just continue doing what I've been doing really! Might ditch my home made carbon airbox though
The std. fog lamps are actually Cibie Airports, which were sold as foglights by Cibie without the pug plug on the wiring I believe. I've got std. fogs just found the covers on ebay. Were Jaguar parts new in the bag as a few cars way back when had these lights. 12 quid new in the bag!
As for concours...I still use the car as a run-around and I don't want it to be a stranger to country road blasts, the odd hill run at pugfest, the ring etc.!
What's the point in having a hot hatch and never hooning it?
Thanks for the comments!
