Ok so all my updates just seem to be stocking up on parts and not actually getting any real work done on the car
this is gonna have to stop. I was hoping to get some work done this week while ive got the week off but the weather isnt looking too good and ive also got a 3 year old to look after. Hes a little young yet to be any good with the spanners though he does try
So more spending trying to get all the bits i need in place for this. When i started i made myself a bit long list of what my ultimate goal was including what parts were needed and how much/where from. This seems a little anal but its pretty much worked and helped me to plan my purchases quite well. Although things pop up for sale from time to time that just need snapping up as i see them.
Been toying with the idea of just buying the paint for this car sooner than later so last weekend on my way home from working overtime i nipped into the paint suppliers i use and got a price for everything i needed. Turns out i had planned just enough money for it all (well i was 91 pence short) but the guy let me off for that
Came away with this little lot
Only thing missing from there is the 5 litres of filler primer
Porsche Macadamia
Same weekend whilst i was working in Newcastle i made a little detour to a lads house that was breaking his bora, and picked up the rear bumper off it. This weekend stripped it of the bits i didnt need and ended up with these bits.
Im sure we can all guess where thats going?
A while ago i also bought these
One of those impulse buys due to being in the right place at the right time. Full FIS Immo 3 Bora Sports. Hoping to change them ever so slightly. So that puts me up two owning to sets of these now. Greedy i know
Also ive been messaging back and to with The Brit off Edition about some bits i wanted. Back end of last week he messaged me to tell me he had a container due in in the next few days and was sending over some pics for me.
Luckily he was visiting his Grandparents up in Scotland this bank holiday weekend so made arrangements to meet up with him just off the M6 near me and came away with these items.
Very happy with both, just need to source the other bits i need his help with now. Top guy and would recommend him to anyone needing US bits for their cars.
As i previously mentioned not having done anything on the car since at least last October/November it was starting to make me worry i had lost a bit of enthusiasm for the build. So i decided to get "something" at least started and decided to spend a little time in the garage over the weekend rubbing my tank down ready for some paint.
Just need to strip out all the fittings and finish off rubbing it down and getting it in primer.
Thats it for now though im hoping to have another update later this week. Im praying the weather holds out.
