Very nice mate,seen this car a few times at different meetings

One thing to remember,when ever you moddify a car you cant please
everyone,as long as your happy with it

How did it feel when you took her out on track,you must have been shitting
it!! I think i would have been driving that motor round the track

 

nice

not my cup of tea tho

 

Saw this at some show this year (ND maybe) looks fantastic Mate

 

sorry to stray of topic, but could you stick some posts up of this too.

sounds a wicked idea could even charge people Ł10 per hour to use it

 

well it certainly is clean i'll give you that, but not my cuppa tea, i like them standard.... but well done tho alot of work has gone into it

 

JESS!!!!!!!
thanks guys,it means a LOT to us to hear great commentys about all our work etc
T H A N K S ! !
as for the track,yes mate it is a little un nervy before you go out but the blood soon starts pumping like md and you forget about all the time andf money u ploughed into it and really give it large !!!!
russ...i will stick some pics up mate but its still early as it is only me and my father in law working on it inbetween work etc etc
but yes it looks like a builders yard for deffo
here is a pic when we had just cleared the top and made the access possible etc

 

i think the car looks fukin magic, u boys must like your tea

 

 

roflmao
this pic of the garden was 3 mths ago
i cant find my new ones,so far all the footings are dug and concreted and the wall is 3 foot high but needs to be 6 foot and we have laid nearly 600 concrete blocks so far,the wall is all double breast too.

 

Looking good Matt

 

hahah look at that piccy... I'm coming to get ya!!!!

I remember that day well.... For once the car didn't break down on the track all day!!!!! It blew a Turbo on the way home though

Call me mr Lucky...

 

I have seventeens on mine with spax suspension and polybushed on everything on the underneath. But my arches still scrub, obviously I need to get them done but do you think I should have a change of suspension to adjustables or go for coilovers or will the modifying of the arches be enough as I plan to track it in the new year and definitely don't want the arches scrubbing. It's only been lowered 25mm and that was 4 years ago by the previous owner.
Any help on this matter is appreciated
Cheers
David

 

lol porkie it was a top day and your car is awesome !!!!!!!!!
cliff...my arches have been totally removed on the lip side of things and has NEVER rubbed any where!
7x17"s and 205,40 17 tyres
i did it with a dremel and angel grinder and then blended it all in smooth
hope this help
cheeRS guys

STUNNING

 

thanks again guys,yes it has completly changed in the winter of last year !

Matt you have pm

 

replied to your PM mate,i do like thezse and the colour of the backs etc but better in a mirror finish stainless for mine mate
so much better than stick on plastic ones !!! imo
any pics of them lite up at night
i know i am a pain

 

looks superb lovely car

 

Looks wicked mate very very clean
Did you have the underneath of you car painted on (brush) or sprayed thinking of doing mine with a brush as no fooker is intrested in spraying it.

PS.Goodluck with the garden i had to do the same sort of thing in mine I fooking hate gardening

 

i used coach enamel paint on mine yes with a brush but i "stone" chipped it all white first with a air gun etc
best of both worlds,reached every corner and no brush marks etc
its very hard wearing and tough too
good luck mate
we where about to lay a load more blocks today mixer out and everything and 2" of snow came down in 30mins and put a stop to that idea
