Engine raise..

before the sump hit the block of wood..

now it sits like this..



shows where the washer used to sit..



filed down some of the 'fins' on the sump to, aswell as changing the design of my sumpguard (atleast now i dont have to worry about busting the sump off the sumpguard..

bad news about wheels, been messed about by the company and said now they wont have them in for a good few weeks (when they kept saying they will have them in later that day, each time i rang) so wont be updating anything on that front anytime soon..

heres a few pics of the new roof, steering wheel fitted (getting a new badge for it though), import numberplate and splitter..

cup of tea and browse the web to start the day..



still need to put the bars on the inside to put some more tension on the hood (looks a little slack around the rear window at the moment)







dish..



new splitter... (something for now untill i can pick me up a cheap oem one)



will be on the road as my daily shortly, cannee wait

Been out in it all day today..

Got a few anal pics, but plan to get some more (better) ones tomorrow







Friend also picked up his new car today..



new plans..

get wheels refurbed
spacers (unsure on mm as of yet)
new tyres on front (195/40 so the inner arch doesnt sit on the tyre and can go lower)
front lip (garage vary most likely)
