right then, so a small update.

some pictures that I've found from Polo Show [not my pictures]

this are my pictures:

and my little set up haha:

yesterday i broke down, all the bolts had either fallen out or come loose on the drive shaft, meaning i lost all drive/gears.

how to get a 6n with a smoothed front bumper home? take the bumper off so you can tow it:

Gutting bro, at least it wasnt on the m6 going to poloshow Its looking superb as always

It's the so called "gearbox specialists" fault...they put the old bolts in after having a new box rather than replacing them.

Just means it's another £20 spent out on top of the £76 for new discs and pads today and the full service kit I need to buy soon...fucking hell.

right then, with this small update i will await the "fat c**t" comments.

my drivers seat turned into a rocking chair and upon taking it out and having a look to see why, this is what i was faced with.

one of the braces had snapped clean in half.

but on the plus side, taking the seat out did reveal some finds:

and while the seat was out i thought i best replace my indicator stalk which broke about 8 months ago and i never got round to changing haha.

the new one to go i, decided to change both indicator and wiper stalk [and yes, i did take my shoes off to change it haha]

all stripped down, wish i had a Momo Scene steering wheel to put back on :(

i had my first experiance with real mechanics today haha [us paint sprayers dont like oil and grease]

my step dad was very kind in walking me through how to fit new discs and pads cause the Haynes manual just wasnt cutting it.

old Vs. new

all fitted with my own fair hands haha...M-Tec drilled and grooved discs with Mintex pads...not bad for £69 all in including postage:

rust much?

seriously fucked Predator discs and EBC pads...no wonder i was getting so much wobble under braking:

mmm shiny:

so there we have it...super proud of myself that i managed to do it...it might not mean much to you, but it does to me haha.

My favourite 6n by far!

Good work on the brakes

LOVE the car man sooooo nice !!!!!!!! what is that spoiler called been looking EVERYWHERE would appreciate it mate :)

Shiney, shiney

This car is sick!! Keep the posts coming been a good read

First time seeing this post and wow what a good looking car. love the wheels and the roof

New brakes look good, I changed my pads the otherday.

I want some new shiny discs now though! :p

Deffo recommend M-techs...cheapest drilled and grooved I could find and they work incredibly well.

Got a couple of updates but not got pictures to back it up yet haha.

Attention to detail is incredible on this car, credit to you my man!

Saw this at edition. Looked nice :)

Parked next to you in wolvo the other night, lookin nice and lovin roof

everybody loves updates and I've got a fair few of them.

the show plate i got from Edition:

the car was drinking water and oil and making some serious noises...plus 'IN02' was showing on the dashboard.

time for an out and out service.

same as with the brakes, i did all the work with guidance from the step dad.

new alternator belt, timing belt kit, plugs, oil, oil filter and air filter.

and i even got dirty hands...and no, not from falling over lol:

it now runs like an absolute dream.

after 3 weeks my birthday present off my mom and step dad turned up in a stupidly oversized box.

I've joined the Momo Scene!!!!

Momo Team 300 and boss:

and can you guess what this is?

and for those who didnt answer the question to themselves...

its a genuine Bentley ashtray that you get in the Mulsannes and Arnage T's:

THAT BRINGS US TO TODAY......

before:

after [a lot of head scratching cause the fitting instructions made no sense to me at all]

now obviously the 6n doesnt have cup holders, so i had to come up with another way of fitting the ash tray.

yes this is quite marmite, but i dont give a fuck tbh.

why does the gear gaitor look like a black cock here haha:

anyway, back on track...i made a small hole for the clip on the bottom of the ashtray to go into:

this idea didnt work as the ashtray was loose and wobbling about...so time for plan B.

remove the 2 tiny screws from underneath and take the inner cup out.

the best option was to put 2 self tappers through and into the plastic.

this caused its own problems as the cup wouldnt sit flush causing the lid to stay open slightly...so out with the belt sander:

Mr Shelvey appeared and couldnt help himself from having a mess haha:

its now firmly fixed in place and shouldnt go anywhere:

with the tiny screws no longer holding the cup in, it now means its easier to empty it:

i arrived home to find a parcel.

a 6n2 stubby passenger mirror...i also have a n2 drivers stubby mirror on order which hasnt arrived...when it does ill get them both painted and fitted.

comments and critisms welcome.

not really an update, just a bit of picture whoreage.

gave her a good clean the weekend.

i love how the water beads on a highly waxed roof haha.

so at Edition i hit a bump at a funny angle and bent my arch:

block of wood and a rubber mallet solved that:

my arches are truely horrendous...winter job me thinks:

not a bad reflection for non detailed paintwork:

B.E.Autiful

Really doo like this, :)

Should have got a 280mm too, Be more scene then aha

so these are the few updates i have.

made a start on the 6n2 stubby mirrors.

it was damaged before i got it and had already been repaired using superglue, so i just finished it off.

what is it with spiders and mirrors:

flatted back:

in with filler:

all prepped:

primer time:

the brand new drivers 6n2 stubby i bought:

there NOT painted and the WONT be for a few months...got a few plans up my sleeve.

DUBSHIRE REPRESENT!!
