thanks for the comments and suggestions chaps, have taken them down!
been a while since i've been on here or near my car! mainly been working, gardening in my spare time for extra cash and been sorting some stuff out for my dad. granny went back into hispital so been back and forth visiting her as my dads away lol so yeah, pretty hectic!
couple of new things, my black key is fucked, when i went to birmingham to get the stuff from tango, i went to a pub carpark to get the wheels, loaded them up and went to start the engine, key wouldnt turn, after a couple of kicks to the ignition it started! got home, and it would'nt start the car at all, is this by any chance the chip inside it?
so yeah, after that, i have started using my spare key
not sure if people remember but a while back i wasnt able to open my passenger side door or my boot, lucky for me i didnt end up buying the lock barrels as my spare opens the lot
so so so happy having a normal, opening boot!
right so now onto the serious stuff. although the car has been up the drive for the past week, ive been sorting out dates to get the stuff on, prepping certain parts and ordering some new'ns!
wishbones will be had in a couple of days, so once i have them, and sprayed the wheels and suspension, it can all go on
to say the least, i am tooo excited to get it on, badly needs slamming and needs a new look
first question...
i couldnt get it any lower by hand, guessing this is where the coilover spanner comes in?
which are for the front, and which are for the rear?
will hammerite be the best to spray the springs with?
is this for the damping setting?
fitted the new speakers i got from elpaulio (thanks again pal!)
didnt go to plan originally...
drill bit snapped...
drill bounced off the door onto my leg (was very lucky!)
so borrowed my dads titanium drill bit which did the trick in seconds! sound so much better!
went to a tyre place the other day, i didnt want to fork out on new lower profile tyres for the rs's, so im going to have the 45's from the multispokes i have swapped onto them, and have the flush valves swapped for normal valves, since one is bust and id rather have normal valves! for all 8 tyres to be swapped, re balanced and the valves i got a quote for £60.00... any idea if this is a decent price?
so thats another thing sorted, plus minimum scrubbage
and final thing
i know people have recommended for me to go for perhaps a gloss black, or something with a tint or flakey appearance for the wheels but i decided that i have a lot of matt black spray, ive already done the center caps and the fact i will get them properly done in the future will do for now. plus i would want the right colour for them (which i dont want to rush to decide) and i cba forking out a load more cash on spray
i know most of you dont think it will look good but give me the benefit of the doubt and just wait for the finished article to see how it looks
if it looks shit, ill cry!
essay is now finished, thanks for reading if you have made it up to this point!
