UPDATE: 10th December 2007

She's nearly ready now for the off. Spent all day working on the car yesterday. Just tidying bits up really, finishing all the small bits and pieces off. Did an oil change aswell. Not much at all left to do now.

So heres some piccies:



I've known the trick of putting a heat gun to faded plastics for a while, but never had anything to try it on, so tried it and was very impressed with the result!





So now need to do the drivers side scuttle panel and paint the wiper arms!!!

Drivers side arch trims and fuel cap cover being painted:



Temporary wheels fitted:



Some interior shots now:















And some exterior shots:













And a better quality video of the car running:



So, MOT and tracking is being done on Monday, my uncle is then making me my spare wheel carrier, side stands and floor plates in the few days after. 8 of my wheels should be back from powder coating this week. Meeting my new co-driver this wednesday and hopefully sending the entry form off for its first rally after we've met! Then tgime to get testing and go play!!! Will post pics when all that happens!!

Ben
