So working from home today I popped out every few hours to put more coats of lacquer on. Looking good! A few marks and its not perfect but I think it looks great and Im happy with the finish for the small amount of effort Ive put in. The polished rim will be shocking but the centres are presentable.

Also put some of the centre caps together. Vinyl doesnt like to stick to them so might have to be something I put on at the show... or maybe ill get some double sided tape for extra stickyness...

And I collected the all important parts from Carl Chambers tonight. For anyone fitting a gti6 manifold to a non-gti6 you need these pieces in order to clear the manifold. The thermostat housing is different too as there is a small connecting piece.

Wednesday and Thursday night should see Toms306 join me to help finish off the car. Friday Lunch time is when we set off for FCS and Sam7057 should be coming over to help with anything I havent been able to do before setting off. Worst case scenario is we spend all of Friday on the car.
