still alive

looked good at ford fair

I'm glad I did these photos from Facebook rather than photobucket, my project thread still lives My old ones wont though.

Yeah still alive. Has been hit twice now.



The first you can see the rear strip is rippled, on the right, numberplater bulb holder was hanging off.

Second is considerably worse, nice big dent in the rear quater, not an easy fix, and you can see the rest. Only requires a spray job on the rear bumpstrip but DIY will not look great, but it'll do. I could get two bumpstrips that are black or something but then I don't want to change it, I like the colour coded stuff. Also could find a second hand rear bumper rather than spending out on painting the whole rear bumper.

Overall it sucks, got some bits, a piper backbox, because mine is blowing badly, on the way. Gonna get new rear brakes and probably fronts. Tried to change the speedo LEDs as only one worked, now none work.

If you managed to read all that well done, gonna move back to buckets/harnesses soon, strip it out and then start doing track days. Got myself a degree and a good job in IT so i have disposable income now to start getting back on track.

So I replaced the rear bumper and sprayed a new aidestrip with Danny. Along with the rear brake shoes and oil/filter.

Someone delivered me a basically brand new set of SS4S came from conventry (3 hours!) For £20 the cams were half the second hand price as well so a Billy bargain.

Picking up a low mileage engine on the weekend 70k~ rebuilding it. Getting cams in and then gonna swap out the engine in the summer.
