putting it up on the ramp on monday afternoon to make sure its all solid, just started to spray the pepperpots up, wanting a price off you for some spacers, thinking 20mm at the back 10/12mm at the front but will measure once i put the rims on, saw yours the other day outside the bayhorse, pop round sometime mate and take a look always good to have a second set of eyes to pick up things what need looking at

Ye cool, just gimme a buzz matey, be good to see ya new machine  :wink:

Thought I would give a little update on things about to happen and things I'm planning on my lil' baby  :smiley:
First up, this weekend me and my main man Kells are treating her to a full detail  :shocked:
Cut, buffed, polished and waxed  :cool:
Bought a new tailgate and was gonna fit that before hand but as it happens it's nearly as bad as the one thats on with rust so gonna strip it and prep it for a re-spray in the near future, I need a new wing also so will do this in a couple of months and get em sprayed up together  :wink:
Week after next buying my new tyres, going from 205's to 195's , looks better and will stop the rubbing on my rear arches  :grin:
Putting the new tyres on the old school 'Le Mans' mk3 alloys, im machining the cap lip off the face of the alloys to make them flat faced, think the plastic caps look sh!t and this will make em bespoke  :laugh: :laugh:
Need to re-spray my wing mirror covers in the next couple of weeks too, ones a bit dull and the other has a few stone chips in it, dont want em letting the car down after the detail  :smiley:
And finally, been looking into engine conversions lately, my initial plan was a boosted vr but, thanks to Kells, I have made my mind up on the V6 4motion engine  :shocked: (I think :undecided:) Not gonna bother trying to 4motion it, but thats the engine I got my eyes on, EXCITED :grin: :grin: :cool:
