Mileage creeping up slowly!



Also sister got a new car, so got a few sly pics, fecking nice car to drive! better looking too than her other tt, this being a Black Edition.



My cars lower....thats all i can win with



size of the wheels compared to 13s..... haha




Two random pics





Rio Progress.......

started by tidying up the insides abit, and then started on the rusty arches etc, not got far, been busy with work and the missus.

rear passenger arch rust.



ground back to metal, looks like its taken a wack on the corner at somepoint too ??? fair crumpled.



Painted with bumpy hammerite, does the job as its not going to be seen ofcourse



same on the other arch,







Going to tidy up the rear next, its not actually that rusty, had a fight with a towbar at somepoint i think though.



Also tidied the boot out, it was filthy






G4VPP should have progress this month as i hope to fit tyres on the new wheels. but unexpectedly got my tax reminder through so will have too see! sick of waiting to get them on now!

Sorry for rambling on

Purchased my tyres for the astra steels. 165/45/15s

Also got some electric mirrors ready for when i get everything together to have electrics


sorted the rear on the Rio aswel, painted up the crash bar and straightened out where someones towbar smacked it (im guessing)

Before



During



Painted crash bar

Refit it



Got the car up on axle stands to see what the oil leak was. think its the sump gasket. and got some pics of the underside, looks solid, nice new exhaust too

Wheels are on...... well 2 of them. couldnt afford all the tyres this month so bought just 2 to make it easier on my wage next month.

think they look quite good, room for more lows aswel now





need to either get hold of some form of centres or paint the bolts ups and the cap in the middle

They will look lush with all four wheels on.

I reckon you should paint the hub centres for now if your getting some centres and get some shiny new bolts. Will make a huge difference.
