The end result of the B*starding at CIT. Why do people feel it necessary to touch/damage someone elses car?

I had to readjust my rear shoes so took the opportunity to to clean out the brake dust and clean up the drums.

Did a bit of painting on the hubcaps

All painted

up on stands foe a good auld cleaning and fixing the exhaust which broke again shortly after

I've a lot left on my list. including respray and engine

Since last time, the standard exhaust has been repaired and raised, car got a service and new sump seal.

and last sat night we finshed up a homebrew exhaust de cat straight through to back box, made from a few other exhausts I managed to get a hold of. Its only for a bit of fun.

Here are some pics of the homebrew, which I ended up having to weld the down pipe to the mani to stop the blowing with all my sheared bolts. the ehaust is after melting the h/brake cable casing so that will be getting a change when I change the exhaust back.

The front seats are out for a wash. some before pics

Fitted a new rear wiper thursday aswell. tidys it up a bit

Tipping away like a small trailer at this while on holidays.

Got a sticker made up for the reversing light, saves the €20 postage from germany and cost of the light.

photobucket treouble with that pic

I tried on the 13s off my Mini , bit lost i think

This lead me to start a refurb on my 14s

This is the finsished they had before I started

so tyres off and a good wash exposed alot of corrosion

small example

on with the nitromors before i started wet sanding with 220. more pics when I get more done.

I also started on a nice little custom touch B)

ta da, the rear light

Have been working on this for the last little while again so its update time

got a little bit more sanding done on one wheel, still 3 to go.

Firstly one night I finally got round to using some balck carpet that was always going to come in handy from a house we were clearing out.

I carpeted the boot albeit badly

next the front wipers were a bit sad so off they came for a quickie spray job.

much improved.

I've had the ides for a full scuttle tray to repalce the piece of plastic for a while now. its all cut and not quite how I planned it, just need to mount it now... few issues with that.

For all my travels i decided a roof rack was a necessary addition. so the citreon dispatch that was lying around for a few years finally found its use. I shortened it appropriately and then made brackets for securing it to the roof gutter.

I also aquired an AER cam/rocker cover so its's now tarted up awaiting fitment

The homebrew exhaust came off and the 'lifted' standard exhaust refitted along with a new handbrake cable. the brake fluid was also renewed , long over due.

Yesterday evening I went rolling my rear arches with my not quite up to the job arch roller. so modifications were made. and the two rear arches proceeded to be rolled and then primered.

The arches are all tied sealed and red again now. (with a white line ...... I ran outta paint)

Any chance you could get me the part number on these....

Should be on the back of them somewhere.

Would be a MASSIVE help if you could :)

Well I got the mad notion one night I want lights in the boot so I set about it.

I cut the door switch from a starlet.

The switch

Then proceeded to cut up the Skolo

and weld in the nut from the starlet

I then gave it a dose of filler and sanded it in, must get paint and wire in the lights too.

I also finished sanding the alloys and managed to paint them this evening. I couldnt decide what way to do them so . . .

thats where its at. it would be a miracle to get these on for fermoy.

and the interior got a good cleaning in early show prep.

right i got my scuttle tray finshsed

Heres the scuttle tray in all its glory

The rear brace I've just finished making a rear brace and the front one

post 49 here http://www.clubpolo.co.uk/forum/index.php?...81707&st=25

( why the blocks you ask? how else would you lower it?)

and the front

I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

oh and the other project I was working on, just painted.

started work on another mod tonight, not sure how it will go but stay tuned

wish my car sat as good as this, mines 80/80 and it looks dyer compared to this haha

I'm down 60 at the rear

155/70/ 13s aswell

spent the day getting rid of the patches, so the car is more or less one shade of red again.

60 on the rear?! Mines like that and mines an 80kit with the same tyres

yeah just 60 on the rear, no spacers or anything

here are some of the pics

this was behind the number plate, yuck

all wet sanded down

primed and painted

then all the over spray was removed with rubbing compound and the final coat put on

no more patches yay

I'm very happy with how it turned out this time

oh and i got a vent put in the 6n rocker cover

ta dah, it will need repainting at some stage too. :(

and a teaser
