Right. Mother said if I pass the school year, she will buy me coilovers. I aint complaining  :laugh:

Todays progress, started polishing the cam cover. Did front, top and sides, didnt do back for obvious reasons when the cam cover is still fitted to the car.
Still not finished with it yet though. Need to get some fine grit wet and dry and go over it to give the much wanted shine.

So, decided to paint calipers yellow. Then the rain came. So car is in the drive next to my house (owned by a shop) without the fronts.

exactly why i went for it. Used hammerite smooth yellow. Applies directly to rust and no need for primer or laquer. And head resistant. Drie in 1 hour too.

i did pick up the white pot of hammerite at the sop, but i thought yelow would be better.

Its fine mate. Sidelight bulb is very weak, enough to light up the indicator though. When you turn on the indicator however, the bigger, more powerful bulb shines through far greater. You can still see the blink nice and clear even in the daylight. I just checked  :wink:
