Need to do a few more tweeks before it's ready for painting but it's definatley getting close now.
Shit. Thats a little too violent for me, but drfinitely awesome work!
Btw, your name popped up on Swedespeed. The guys there are really happy woth your front splitters, so I guess I dont have much of a choice. Gonna order one as soon as I get my paypal up and running.
Violent eh?.. lol.. I think I actually like that. It'll not look as bad when the centre section is painted satin black, just looks a bit much at the minute with it all being the same colour. Gimme a shout when you're ready for a splitter bud. As for Swedespeed... have to pop over and have a look see :)
Yeah, theres atleast three guys with your splitter over there. Looks damn good in satin black too.
Thing about my Paypal, someone filed a complaint on my ebay, claiming I had bever shipped what they paid for... however, I've never sold anything on Ebay. Then, orders for Iphone accessories were suddently ordered and not paid for by my accoutn, and I'm the biggest anti iphone dude ever. All this made my paypal not wanting to take money out of my account.
You dont do bank transfers, do you?
Yeah paypal can be a pain when your account gets into difficulties, it's very hard and long winded to get it sorted out. I've no problems with a bank transfer if that's what you want to do.
Not so much an update as I've not really had time to get anything constructive done lately, just some pics from a trip to a recent classic car show in NorthWales..

Still needs tweeking yet (as its sitting a bit high at the back) and the exhaust needs re fitting but it's on..

Finished. Added rear mudguards and adjust the fit a little.

So... Eight months later... Car had open heart surgery at the beginning of the year, a replacement engine was sourced that had just been rebuilt along with a replacement M59 gearbox as my old one had started to whine quite a bit.

New Engine (after painting)

Old Engine and box coming out.

New Motor in and being re wired.

Getting there.
Car ended up with engine, gearbox, driveshafts, front shocks and mounts, poly subframe bushes and adjustable drop links while it was apart. It also got a 3" downpipe with angled housing and sports cat but sadly these have had to be temporarily removed due to a manufacturing fault on the downpipe. Car now pulls like a train and has thankfully, finally stopped smoking. Shame it cost me the best part of £1600 to fix it.
