Teeny-Tiny update of productivity..

Bought something small for the interior.. One of those pieces where NO-ONE would ever notice. Just something I wanted..

Smooth wiper stalk to match the indicator (no rear wiper button)..

May be for sale.

Message me for details if interested. Make me an offer.

Do want to sell, but wont be as sudden as I wanted. Insurance increase on a new car is unreachable so it will remain for a little while longer.

Offers are still welcome though. Anything is for sale at the right price.

Plus side...

Clutch cable was fixed the next day.

Bought something new tonight to get the build back on track! Not going to be revealed until it's ready tho ;)

Also will be doing some changes for the upcoming shows, Maybe not before Ultimate Dubs tho.

Hoping these changes will bring back the love. She'll be back soon ;)

So.. As the car may or may not be in the UD carpark for all to see, I'll reveal the new piece I bought for the Polo now its all painted and in... Also gave the rear of the Polo a fresh lick of satin black to make it look a less worse for wear..

Flat floor in the back then I think it would look even better..

Hopefully people will get to see it on Sunday, if you see me and the car come say hello!

Next: Repair rear bumper and get the Rota's back on.

All kinds of awesome dude! think it will look better with this false floor idea. cant wait to see this at shows

So.. Bumper will be going up the bodyshop to get repaired before Early Edition in the next week or so. Finding a few teeeny bits of rust in places that I will sort after.

If some of you have been on facebook today or yesterday, you would have seen the amount of whoring my car got.

I think it was the most talked about car on the internet yesterday! Check the Fast Car Magazine page if you want a browse haha

I saw all the hate on this car lol Its a nice car man, but can you actually expect to go to jap shows? They are separated for a reason! You don't see any civics at any VW shows because they are styled the same...

What can I say, my car's a whore for attention. Anyway, not like there isn't going to be other Non-Jap cars on the showground.. Last year was a prime example ha.. It was worth a go at least!

YEEEYY MOT DAY.

Failed on N/S Trackrod End and both Headlights were angled too high.

Bought the trackrod end, had it fitted in 10mins, took the car back down for a Re-Test and she is safe for another year!

Tracking went very very slightly out after the end was changed.. Got the toes aligned so everything was tip top and ready for action..

Was hoping to get the car into the bodyshop for the rear bumper this week so its ready for Early Edition on the 14th but they are fully booked until after it so going to get the rust, front end and rear bumpers sorted alla t once at the end of the month in time for Modified nationals in May.

Sadly won't be in attendance of Early Edition now, shame, enjoyed it last year. If I do go it wont be in the oloP

I decided too that the Mazdaspeeds will be a second set of show wheels. Plans for these are secret though. Will look AMAZING when they are finished. Rota's are soon to be re-done after bodywork also.

Don't lose interest just yet guys. Plenty more to come after the big bills are out of the way.

Wheel update..

Started the refurb of the Rota's. Lips are spidered and corroded and the paint was getting re-done anyway.

Usually take stuff like thids to a professional, but thought i'd have a crack at it myself. Results are completelly by hand, no machine polishing or buffing.

Started on 120, 240, 400, 600, 800, 1500 and then finished on 2500. Then ther are only two coats of meguiars metel (tub) polish. Shine is gettig bette with every coat.

And a picture to show before and after. By far not perfect, but most if not all curbing removed and 99% of corrosion got to and sorted

IMG_2186_zps606bffe0.jpg

Will crack on with the other three in the next few days and get them ready for paint.

Yet ANOTHER setback... Came out of work to find my rear quarter creased and dented where someone has SMASHED their car door into my car. Removed a section of paint from the shoulder line of the car and dented above and bellow it. Not even a note to say sorry.

Pet hate is people bumping car doors.

Car is booked for bodyshop on 6th May to get (i hope) everything that needs sorting done.

I think you hold the record for "Most times been crashed into or dented by other motorists in any build thread". It's looking amazing though, and I love that rear end.

Would have been more livid if I had just had the bodywork repaired before it happened! Still majorly annoying though.

This car looks awesome. But it's quite weird how unlucky you've been with the bodywork. Hopes things change for the better :).
