So went to bns autos yesterday to get my chassis strengthening kit fitted.
Got to bns autos or the bat cave


Before




After








Also got some tie rod lowering plates




And back at base


Will be painting the front crossmember next time I go over and arranging a visit to the body shop for ....














Think it's had a bump at some point in its life on the ns rear quarter, can be straightened out. Whilst my car goes to the body shop I will set about replacing gaskets and painting my let.

On a road trip today for some parts going here ...


Will update tonight with what I've bought
That's all for now thanks for looking

Thanks dan
Anyway little update as a few of you are aware I needed a turbo down pipe to mate to my powerflow system.
I found a tx auto sport pipe but was advised by bigron that there no good, he pointed me in the direction of mr cleans old exhaust, so a trip to Wales on a Tuesday night at 7pm resulted in me returning with a full turbo back 3" alunox system thanks to big Ron and mike (mrclean)
Pics exhaust porn
















Also started to wrap my loom as it looked a bit ugly




Also had a quote for my rusty bits to be done and the work will be carried out before Xmas,
Also picking up a gsi bumper next weekend off Sean

That's all thanks for looking
