Superal :Looking good...hope its done for fitp and let me know if you wanna sort out a quote at a bodyshop...mine going in soon for a nice machine polish

oooo

I will definately need a quote on a few bits to be sprayed up! Ill have to pull me finger out and get started on the bumper then!

Today's update is that the car is now on all fours with all Avo's on!

Now there would be pictures but I wont be able to do it without showing the new colour to my refurbed wheels! So no pictures from now on.....and maybe no more updates until after FiTP....to do with body work anyways :look:

Engine related I will tell all!....Maybe :insanity:

You fell for it!
I dont have a clue about you're wheels, I just said that to see if you'd let on if I was correct or not.

Sorry :bonkers:

Oh I wished!

Would look sex on my car :cry:

one pic for you though....

by **Ghost** on Tue Mar 20, 2007 11:36 pm

looks closer in the pics then it really is!

the wheel isnt toughing and does move freely!

But...I might grab a small spacer, but I havent got a lot of room with the arch either :sad:

so a little unsure what to do!

But the camber on the car is spot on at the moment!

Ghost :

In other words the car will be a tyre muncher either way :lol:

Glad your back working on the van again coming along very well already. Hope you get it sorted for FITP.

Superal - Good to see you are back on the seen and finally sorted that clutch :lol:

You better have a pot to save up for tyres as yours aint cheap

I think a 5mm spacer will do for the fronts :wink:

I'm thinking 3mm....you seen the gap from the arches? these wheels a 7.5"!

OH YES!!!!

It fired up today for the first time

Took the fantastic Mr Excursions advise and towed it! Took it around for a little trip for the first time and nothing, so stopped off at home and had a check to see if there was any leaks.....there was, so sorted them. Then realised the stop off solenoid wasn't connected :rolleyes:

Soooo.....off we went again got round the corner and away it went!

I couldn't be more happier!!

And a vid....

It hasn't got and exhaust on it so there is smoke everywhere! and I hadn't sorted out any tubing as I just wanted to make sure the engine ran before I spent any more cash.

On the move!

So.....the race begins....40 days to go :lol:

I remember the days of Mk3 TD power! Mine used to zip up to 120, it was a laugh

I cant wait

by **Raymondo** on Mon Apr 02, 2007 8:17 pm

Torque monster :bonkers:

Looking good

Those wheels must be pretty wide for them to be sitting that close to the coilovers though. Will this be tearing up the lanes of litte Berkhamsted anytime soon? :wink:

by **Ghost** on Mon Apr 02, 2007 8:32 pm

the rims are 7.5" and the tyre in that picture is 195/40!! :lol:

sweeeet....

And about Little Berkhamsted....I quit the pub job in December, but I do go up there every now and then. Also do like the roads around there as I know them like the back of my hand!

Ahhh man, me too! I felt all sentimental when I heard it running in the video above just then!

I used to love that thing, it really did buzz up to 125! You must be chuffed to have it running at last!

You have no idea mate, today was its last chance to run....

I think it realised that and pulled it out of the bag!

cant wait to get everything plumbed in and get the exhaust on!

by **knuckles** on Mon Apr 02, 2007 9:20 pm

Im so glad its running

- about time we had a bit of luck. I thought it broke big time when i was towing you

Sort the few little bits and give it a good road test.

*** Note to self **** - Get a better camera phone :lol:
