happy fucking dayz people the cars alive 
i finally got round to sorting out fitting the grpA pump and filter today so i thought it would be rude not to sort out a bit of wiring and wire the battery up and let her run up for a couple of mins, the engine hasnt run since the first day i bought the car so today is a good day and i now have that bit of interest in it again

i`m waiting on new fitting kit for the rad as the bushes are fucked then all the hoses ect can be conected up ect and all that will stop me having the engine bay finished is an actuator bracket and the right hose from the intercooler to the turbo.
after the engine bay is done i will basically have poly bushes to do all round, fit my coilovers all round fit my new rear arms with new hubs and new brakes and a few silly bits then buy an ecu (off of Ryan) and order a chip for my spec from stu then book it in for an mot and once thats done and she is road legal i`ll take it to somewhere like TOTD to be checked over and put on the rollers to she whats shes doing
i am jobless right now so this isnt going to happen tomorrow but obviously im planning on being in work very soon and then it will be full steam ahead

more work today and again no pics
my old man wired up my gauges in the car and my push button start which is all working i fitted the rad and fans plus several hoses and my black swirl pot and the engine bay is really looking good now, does sound much but it feels like its getting closer to be a working cossie again

fuck me its been a while but so much has happened in the last 4 months........... after getting her running ect i almost broke her as my GF at the time didnt like it so i was gonna sell up........ after sorting her out and kicking her out the way i finally started playing with the cossie again and im please to say that today for the first time i drove her on the road....... i insured it for a very fair price friday and it will be mot`d durring the week and taxed and will be making its first outing at castle combe next saturday.
i have loads of pics to add up here but for some reason i cant log into photobucket so you`ll have to wait to see it hehe, its still not 100% finished but for now i just wanna use it and work on it as its running sort of thing.

Hi John ive had to put standard shocks back on it just to get it done and on the road, my rear coilovers will be put on later when i sort my new rear arms out, as for the fronts i dont know why but one coilover is solid and the other isnt as hard and i cant be arsed to sort it right now.
i am interested in your coilovers mate but i have no other shocks to give you....
Ian mate i cant wait to get her out and playing in it, if i get her mot`d early next week i may bring her up....... hows your dude???
