Unfortunately i never got to take the car bed or her for a spin last night.

On the upside ive now been allowed to turn my ex man room(now massive walk in wardrobe) back into my man room over winter so i can keep all my wheels,bumper,bonnet,wings etc up there so they dont get damaged when im cutting and welding the front end etc.

Winner!

Not liking all your car tbh, just 99.95% of it...

You have some serious skills, liking the ABS delete debate too as thats beena thought of mine for ages...

Right well.Where to start.Ive been a little bit steady on this of late,mainly due to me working every single day since January but i have still been doing bits and bobs inbetween my 12hours a day 7 days a week.
My main problem was waiting for parts.

My Ferrea Competition plus single groove valves came

Just got to get the locks.ARP Clutch flywheel bolts have now come too.
I ordered some Schrick valve springs and shims just before xmas and it turned out some arse of a company had bought 5000 units of every part in the Schrick catalogue.So i had to wait nearly 3 fecking months for them!
I have received my head spacer to reduce the compression to 8.8:1 and my Gruvenparts crack pipe has arrived and thats fitted after a polishing.
So while i was waiting for various parts to materialize i decided that all the cam chain casings and stuff was going to get a polishing within an inch of its life.So bought a bench grinder and a load of mops and compounds and got to work.

Absolute fecking nightmare!Very time consuming but im getting there and in my efforts to do everything myself its turning out well.

In other news im slowly taking the car out of hibernation.Decided to strip the brakes and fit a rebuild kit with new pistons and seals etc they are back on but havnt taken pics of it all painted up yet as it always seems dark when im at home.I also stuck some uprated c.v joints on to test out before i put the engine in.
I also had a blemish on my tailgate where someone had hit the thing with a football so that got whipped off and is currently in paint at http://www.ultimate-carcare.co.uk/ i begrudge spending money on paint on the rear end tbh as im changing it up next year but i cant run it this season as it is as it will bug the crap out of me.

I also have started work polishing the rear tailgate lifters.One left to do.

Errrrrrm oh yeah i went to Ultimate Dubs to pick myself some new wheels up off a guy that was selling them on FB.Very pleased with my purchase.They are rare Autostrada Modena rims.
16" ET22 8J 2 piece on the rear and 7j 3 piece on the front.They came with no centre caps or nuts which means i got them for a good price.But me being me before i had even picked them up i had the billets of ally sorted and an agreement with a local machinist that he would make me some exact replicas!

I also want to go 7.5j on the front so i can get a slight tuck when i stick it on air so im looking for some 40 hole 1.5" lips,which are hard to find but i will do it.
My aim is to have them fully mirror polished

I also got a local artist bird to draw my car for me just for sh!ts and giggles.Well chuffed with how it turned out.

I finish my 2.5month every day at work stint on good friday and then the car is getting sorted for a week,full detail(weather permitting) old wheels back on along with the newly painted tailgate and the rear lights can go back in too.

I think thats it......Picture time.
