Today was a good day (despite the weather)

In the moring i took off the wank black rubber strip that went around the car, turns out the car had been painted on the lower half of the drivers side door and the strip was there to hide the line..... you can now see it

Anyway... the legend that is sticker paul arrived at around 14:30 to get the car looking more track ready.

By this time the rain had started so had to do the work in my small garage... here's some pics

The man himself



















And a pic of the 90spec seats... just need a clean then will be putting them in



Thanks again Paul, really happy with the job you did

Cheers guys, tyres and suspension are a must now, brakes were awesome but in the wet it was just a joke, oversteer/understeer, the car went off track 3 times (not while i was driving).
Was lucky enough to have an open pit lane so it took around 5 hours of abuse and never missed a beat, we was all suprised.
