ok i started at 10am this morning and finished at 1am now! Just sprayed up the front badge and did primer, paint and lacquer in 20 minutes with a heat gun. Can already see one lacquer drip but oh well! Serves me right for leaving it too late!
THis afternoon BearBen and his brother Tom turned up and we got the wheels off and then a Toms306 arrived. Was good to have us all together for once.

I drilled and rerouted my amp power cable down the passenger side of the car isntead of the drivers side (accelerator hole) as it had been causing the accelerator to stick. Also stripped the interior and rerouted the remote down the passenger side and the RCA down the centre.

Always a good thing when your car looks like this 24 hours before you hve to leave for a show!

Also tried to get my fogs out of the bumper but couldnt reach the third bolt. Didnt get round to fixing the blowing exhaust but oh well! Ill buy a proper straight through pipe when i have the money.
Took 7 hours but we also got the 60mm lowering springs on. No idea what the hell the previous owners had been playing at! One of the shocks was completely rusted through so im going to have to take it easy until after FCS otherwise i may have to use my RAC card for the first time. Also the 'lowering springs' that were on and apparently 40mm werent branded... looked like gti springs that were red... had been painted black... and then been painted black again. Very odd.
