Its been awhile i no but a lot has happened, my factory got burgled all the power tools,camera,sat nav, etc and we are still waiting for a cheque from the insurers.
My wife had our 2nd child 3/5/05 another boy we have called him joshua paul snape after me .
Work has gone metal so i dont have much time lately to spend on the car but i have bought a new gear box from TF rallysport, a 6 speed direct top dog box as soon as i get some funds of the insurers i have also ordered a mag rear axle .
I will post some pics up this week

Regards Paul

Hello everyone,

Just like to say big thanks to sticky(Paul) for the work he has done and for helping me get motivated since we have come back from the ring top guy and Thanks again Paul you a good friend.

Well first of all i sold my AP calipers and rotors(330mm) to Stu MSD
So a good mate (Jonfoz) 07776135999 got me some new front and rear AP Rotors.
Fronts are 355 x 32mm and rears are 304 x 28

Then I bought a few other bits for my engine bay from another good mate (JC Motorsport) 07970743348 And sticker Paul started to fit them early last week


My brother shaun and i fitted the R&D dog box, plus as you can see the underneath of the car is nealy finished being painted thanks to our shaun

I then fitted my new sparco snapoff kit for my steering wheel

Then another friend Terry Pankurst helped me fit my rear part of my cage in as i was struggling on my own while sticky had a brew as usual

Paul fitted the new pipes to the oil cooler after Rob welsh yes another mate fitted the cooler

This is just a pic to show how big my new front disc are as my 17" x 8"Comps will not fit now with the caliper on so i have done a deal with a set of Group A 18" x 8"

These are stickys 17" hocks which he is now selling cos he wants a set of 18" comps so speak to paul if you are interested 07834230059

The intercooler and radiator fitted



Looking good now
As i carried on inside with the easy work (the cage )Sticker paul modded my new morretes and put some new grills behind the air intakes




Me and robbie then got my flocked dash fitted before we bolted the rest of the roll cage in.


Dash Supplied by JC Motorsport
And just proof that sticker Paul actualy worked hard after he drank 20 or so brews

I think he was just rolling around in my garage as i never realy seen him all day
Nice one guy,s for all the hard work you have put into this project i owe yours all

More updates a pics tomorrow
Thanks for all the nice comments guys i hope it want be long now

Regards Paul
