Those numberplates look really good, thought about using the stick on numberplate pads? Not sure how good they are though

[Burnard]

Are those pressed alloy?

Can you weigh that front one before you fit it if they are?

Thanks mate

Cheers. Yea I'm happy with them. They look much better then the old ones.

The one on the boot is held on with those pads. Not sure if it would work as well on the front. I have a plan though so watch this space.

Thanks mate

My god your sad. Yes I'll weigh one. I can tell you know though that they weigh more that a plastic plate.

[Burnard]

All the pressed ally plates ive seen seem lighter than a plastic one...

Its just somwhere else i can save a lil bit of weight

[leaky]

Fine well I will weigh one today if I get a chance.

I got the front one fitted as it should be anyway.



I also lightly sticker bombed my weather shield.



and I polished the whole car yesterday so she is now shiny!!!!!!!!!!!!

[leaky]

She Ran!!!!!!!

Ok well I shall update this properly now I have a bit of time. I got her running with a bit of help from rusty. Although I now have a fuel leak from somewhere around the fuel pump. Not sure if its the pump or a split in the hose. Everywhere was too covered in petrol to see. So this needs sorting. My sidelights have also decided to commit suicide and my horn just works when it feels like it so these are things that need sorting.

On an upside I have some wing mirrors!



Thats about it for now!!!!

At the moment its carbon fiber look-a-like stuff but Im gonna paint it gloss black to go with the roof and roof.

Thanks.

Right. Well heres an update. Gotta say thanks to the people who have helped me out over the last few days. You know who you are!

Anyway I have a list of jobs I got done over the last few days.

Replaced a length of fuel pipe this solved the leak.
Replaced Speedo Cable.
Fitted throttle cable.
Bled the clutch
Replaced the break pads
Fitted exhaust
Cleaned the rest of the sound proofing crap of the roof
Tidied up some dodgy wiring both in the car and around the engine bay
Replaced passenger side driveshaft
Fitted a new steering arm thingy on passenger side. Cant think of its real name to save my life right now.
Gone through and torqued all the nuts up
and cleaned it!!!!!!!!!

I have a few other bits that need doing. I have a new break pad holder thing coming 2moz as I broke one. So I need to fit that then bleed the brakes.

I also have a few wiring issues. My washer jets, horn, side lights, Flash and tail lights are currently not working so these need looking in to.

If I keep going the way I am now L2B is looking promising!!!!!!

Thanks for reading!!!!!!
