Cleaned hoovered and polished him from top to toe for tomorrows show. He looks so good, I just sat in the chair, looked at him and drooled. lol
He's entered in 1988 and younger 100 percent stock. Have to see how he does against the Yank tanks.
Steve has entered the Monte Carlo in imports.
Sunday it's Auto Cross day, may just give Mr. Bridger a couple of runs and Steve's taking the Monte

Today when I got home from work I decided to fiddle with the extra lighting for the front (drl, spots and fogs) 

So I got out the hacksaw and some bits of metal I found at work  and cracked on cutting etc and mocking up the lights .

Here's a pic during the mock up

And complete mock up, need to perfect the spacing so that its the same both sides

and more importantly decided to pull the 'for sale' ads for my Clubman Estate as I really don't want to part with him, so I'd rather be skint and keep it than have a bit of cash and be without it :shy:
