It has been a while since my last post, to be honest I haven't done much exept go a little bit backwards :angry:

We had out wall insulation done last week, which I found out literally the minute I was leaving the house.  Only problem was my car is currently in the garage as I dont want it SCRATCHED.... see where i am going?!   i got home to find a cm of glass fibre dust on the car and scrathed down the wing where the guy had dragged his hose through.  Now I did say the keys are in it if he felt it was in the way.  He was lucky he was done and gone when I got home or i would of cut his balls off with a rusty ladel.  And realised today that the struts I put on the boot were too long and it has dented my roof near one of the brackets  :angry: :sick:  I haven't even driven the car since I bought it and painted it, cheesed me right off.

Anyway the show must go on as they say.  I have nearly finished my wheel arch sub box, it just needs carpeting along with the parcel shelf.
I took a mould of the bit behind the arch and attached it to a bit of MDF. (I made that sound easy!)





Attached to car here along with a few well placed screws:
 

I am also going to put these through the wiring holes to make things a little neater:




Spot the dent:


I also cleaned the interior of all that damn bodyshop dust, and it looks spankin!:




I got my license renewal application today, only a month and a bit left before I am allowed to drive it!

Tell me about it! Although I have turned 25 since I got banned and the quote I got today was the same as what I was paying before, so the age must have cancelled the conviction out. :grin:
