First proper show since the rebuild and it went perfectly at all times. Loved it! 
Had a drive down to SCS to do the old bufty thing and a bit of tinkering to ensure everything was as it should be, then a mammoth all you can Chinese with Jimbo's clan....epic fat bastard me!
Awsome weekend I had to say, and thanks for Jimbo and Harvey for the welcome as always....nobody gives me abuse like they do
P.S. Check Jimbo's white walls

Haha nah he just turned up late, he's done his feature now so he won't have to clean it ever again
Don't think there was a 3door that's as immaculate, but you just can't be assed once you drive a good 4-5 hours to a show
Yeah I'm a bufty, but rag the car too, best of both worlds

Oh yes of course, looks are more important than anything
They do look awsome though but I really need them anyway, fancy selling them? Are those genuine one's or are they one's MK made?
Cheers Rich

Had a few days off so focused on cleaning a few bits up before winter i.e. refurbed driveshafts/cv's and all gubbings, recoated the header tank, new breather braided hoses, cleaned up the fuel system, ground down the wheel nuts and recoated, refurbed the rear brakes etc. Little things that make a big difference. Otherwise, just gave it a clean and the diff will be next
Sorry for poor phone camera quality

Best part of Christmas....finally getting a garage!
Its not the most glamarous, but its only 4 feet away from my house, nice and secure after fitting loads of new locks today all round, has plenty of room (although pics don't show it really) its free and attached to a pub!

The back door of the garage leads to the beer garden, so normally shout through the door for someone to bring me a pint while I'm under the car

Good man!
Nothing new to report on the car really, checked all the levels earlier and nothing has changed in 3000 miles since the engine build. I think this is the only Cossie that doesn't use oil

Sorted out some braided breather hoses from Pirtek and anodised hose finishers from Torques, made a huge difference I think. Got the throttle bracket powder coated too.
Still a bit to do like coat other parts, but prior to the garage it sat outside for a good while and a lot of the new shiney bolts have since corroded
Still, its there to be used
