:D I can't wait, but I'm going to have to lol. Be worth it, just a shame its not in time for the mega meet.

Passed the MOT now, so that's sweeettt!

So gameplan is:
- Wheel alignment: Check tracking again and play with camber til its sitting sweet.
- Paint, paint, paint! Get the arches all sprayed up, again.
- Flat back and polish. Might buy some Dodo Juice stuff and give it a wax.
- Wheel refurb. Going one color, then hit them with some vinyl's
- Fit old Mountney wheel. Need to make an adaptor to use it with the 6x70 boss I'm yet to purchase.

That's the main stuff for now. Want it done for the RR day.

Plans for later:
- Boot build: without the speaker/subs. Just a false floor and side panels to tidy the boot up and hide the battery and stuff.
- Re-trim pillars and headliner. Will use my headliner but got some spare pillars (need to collect them) to play with.
- New front seats and get them + rears re-trimmed. Want something that holds me in the seat a little more.

I'll be happy then, ready for this season. Once all the above is done I'll just clean and maintain it and do the odd little thing here and there.

I'll be a student in September, so money will be used on fuel and maintenance + insurance, tax, MOT, etc. I'll trying to budget in a shack/garage to rent to store the masses of parts I have and a place to work on, clean, detail and store.

Sweet deal. Same code as me. Just a standard 02A box. I have a short ratio Rado 16v one fitted now, but will be switching to a Mk3 TDi box soon. Don't feel the need for the LSD, its my daily car and doesn't see the track and doesn't get driven really hard much.

I'll be at the meet, so hopefully see you there and have a chat.

You bringing the caddy and Shady?
