Yeah, I'll probably put it all in little bags or something.

They aren't dirty as such, but they came off a non-runner. Reason why it wasn't running is unknown so best to give um a re-build n clean. And its an excuse to paint some shit :unibrow:

Yeah that's what i did, In seal-able bags.

Don't go to mad with the orange paint tobes, I love the colour contrast but i think less is more with this car :thumbsup:

haha yeah, it could be ruined.

I bet ill be skint at the time i need to buy things like fuel lines etc, so standard ones will make more sense than orange ones lol.

Found a nice catch tank thats stainless, would ruin it painting it i reckon.

Was thinking today, 100% need the block to be black.

And hopefully, I'm swapping to a GT box so that will probably go either black or silver to match the head.

How come your painting the block black then?

Cus it looks gay

I did it in a savage orange, looked sick

But, now its in the bay and surrounded by the other orange it looks red.

People often ask why i painted it red lol. I argue that its orange but they don't believe me. Thats how red it looks haha.

Black will look so much better!

S'all about black tobes , Mines black. Copy cat.

Fine, I'll do it blue ;)

News on bike can?

Not arrived yet, only paid for it yesterday lol.

I could CC the box, but to do the block id need to lift it out. And i really cannot be fucked with that haha!

The bits that I've done blue with the MTN paint, are going gloss steel blue. As they look a little out of place as they are atm. That or I'll get a spanking new expansion tank, and get new stainless camcover bolts. Will see!

Got the polo out for the 1st time in over a month and gave her a quick clean. So She's ready to sit winter out now in the garage.

Still need to get the wheels off and clean them inside n out as i think there covered in brake dust on the orange bits :(

Cannot wait till after Christmas now though, Going to be Spend spend spend again :D

Also, theres going to be a few little surprises for next year :ninja:

These suprises do mean that i very much doubt it will be able to make it to GTI spring festival, however I'm sure they will be 100% worth the wait :nod:

Looking very snazzy as always dude.

Yeah they are pretty big the ones like that.

Mine still hasnt arrived from japan yet.

carnt wait to see it on :-)

Needs moar gulf

bike cans sound much differant ?

they pass m.o.t?

looks good

  • Author

Cans are erm, louder? :lol:

There meant to be more raspy, but tbh I've not really paid much attention to one.

Theres a video of Saf's in one of his build threads (the yellow one) i think which may give you an idea.

But i guess its all down to the can, if theres a cat or midbox or not. What engine it is and various other things.

As for more gulf :ninja:

I have some plans to get more orange on the go, but I'm trying not to go over the top. As it will ruin it.

However, I'm not revealing any of the plans, you shall just have to wait and see ;)

I know some of the plans 8-)

With the bike cans, i would advise the midbox is kept...

Having it straight through to the bike can will get very tiresome very quickly.
