Ok, im back again with new bits, just like i said i would.


Ive put my arches back on now and sprayed and fiitted the new wing mirrors. + i have washed it. lol.
Next i am working on sorting my engine out. I know its only a 1 litre but its my car and i can do what ever i want with it.


Im using a special substance that seems to bring the best out of the metal.
I am also gonna collect a spoiler off Mike@Sri so its all goin quite well. 
Also here is something for Adam-D

looks like youvs started well, personaly i would sort the suspension with a quality repalcement kit, not just springs, and put some 16v brakes on it, then save for a 1.6 or 2.0

its a metal polish, u need to wash the metal first then dry it up. Once it is dry apply a little of this polish with one cloth, then rub it off with another cloth, u see the cloth turn to black, anyway you should notice a difference, if not it means ure not scrubbing hard enough.
