Cheers, won a genuine front bumper in tornado red on ebay tonight :grin: so that'll finish off the front end.

Yeah, I'd forgotten how loud it is :laugh: Not exactly going to be a relaxing cruising car, but it'll be a lot of fun :grin:

Put the interior back together last night and hoovered it out, amazing how much dirt/crap gets into a car when it's just sat in a garage. Just need to make the loom for my gauges and put them in along with stereo etc to finish it off inside.

Hopefully picking up the bumper tomorrow evening, then will put the arch liners, arches and bumper on on Friday. Then it's pretty much done, other than getting the exhaust modified as it's a golf one so doesn't quite reach the back bumper :laugh:

It's taxed, insured and had its first proper run out today :) It pulls really well, although it is pretty noisy :laugh: There was a lot of vibration in the cabin, which I think was partly due to the poly gearbox mount, so I pulled it out this evening and replaced it with a standard one. Also collected my new bumper yesterday, so it's finally back to being all red!



Fitted, though arches are not fitted yet;



Ready to go for tracking;





Clean underneath :)





Gearbox mount out;





Getting a clean and a polish tomorrow.
