A Street Sleeper is reborn! THE END

[procta]

I've got the exact same gauges I think. I've yet to wire them in though.
Glad you've got some cash for this sorted.

I cannot remember what make these, it is nice to have a more budget to play with, as I want things done to this car, the bumpers need replacing, I do have my gta ones to paint up and put on, which will make the car look more nicer,
I did look at a GTI bumper, on ebay but it was f*cked, and I am not paying 60 quid for a f*cked bumper for the sake of a splitter. Rare part or not.

Anyway, I have gone for a bit of a change, something that really has bugged the life out of me a little, since the build. it has been the wheels, with this been a 1.1s model I have never really took a like to the gta wheels,
so a few weeks ago, I came a cross some new 1.1s wheel trims, ( the car had a set on before, but they were f*cked)

so off came the GTA wheels trims, these are hard to get hold of now, so these are been moth balled.



wheel nuts swopped over to standard ones, and the centre caps fitted

then the replacement wheel trim

looks more 1.1s like now!


also I fixed the running problem too,
the sensor had bit the dust alright,
the end had rotted away, so there wasn't any electrical contact,

replaced it with a proper OEM one this time, also this one seems to fit better too!

topped  the coolant up and went for a burn, then some fuel, But looks like I will have to add a some oil stem stuff to the oil again, as this is smoking like f*ck! but then again it hasn't ran for nearly a 2 months!
At the petrol station, a fella said to me, " I haven't seen one of those in years!!" the lass who served me said, "Christ A H plate metro! that's doing very well for its age!!" mad really if you ask me, as 10 years ago these cars were not given a lickings of a dog etc,  
Also surprised a SEAT Leon, had a drag race going up the hill, we were side by side, He was laughing, I backed off as there was arounderabout, he put the power on and way, but I think he was hoping I was going chase him, but left it be.
Then an audi TT decided to chase me, that fella followed me, his face was a bit of a picture, as I kept maintaining the gap.
