Got my car back today was a good surprise as the guy that welded my A Panel in also Painted it and Fitted my last Arch for no extra charge He also quoted me £500 for a exterior Respray and pick up as long as i take exterior parts off!! so will be planing that when i decide what white paint to go for was thinking of keeping it standard Diamond white or going for a newer white like A BMW or Audi color for something different??

Next up is a little Service and to check the Altinator is working Properly. Then will sort out paint and hopfully some work on some Extra power!!!!! cannot Wait

Thanks! i think its actually getting somewhere know . The spray quote was off a family Friend so think its going to be well worth it if its finished nice.

Had some misshapes and progress today.

Car battery died yet again got a new battery few months back and have to keep charging it so had a trip to min-its

• New Alternator
• K&N Panel Filter
• Spark Plugs
• Oil
• a pop Filer cap

managed to swap and fit every thing to day and swoping the alternator wasn't as fiddly job as i thought. Heading to Coubrough sprint track tomorrow So will hopefully post some pic's

Good progress man looks well !!

[tomb1992]

Went Coubrough sprint track last Sunday was brilliant was only a 2 an a half hour day but felt really long managed to get three runs on the track and improved each time loved it. signed up 4 a 6 event membership only £21!!! which is amazing value in my eyes also met a lot off friendly people with various different cars had a few mk2 escorts and a skyline . got a while to wight tho next event is boxing day I recording a video on my driving tho it dint have any sound so will upload some footage next time i go.

Any way back to some Progress
planning on a respray soonish so trying to cut back on buying pritty trim peaces for know. so decided on a new exhaust system

Mainiflow 3/4" Centre exit System got it from Min-its colt less than £100 including all mountings and fittings was really surprised. can't wait till its fitted and running hoping for some good sound and perhaps some performance increase??

[tomb1992]

Got my Maniflow Fitted has a really deep sound in Second and Forth like how it sits to.
Sorry for massive Pics i re size them on Photo Bucket but when i paste the link their still Massive any one else having this issue?

Thinking about an Removable steering wheel and some Recoro Road/ race seats that can fit and have rear seat assess in a mini so any Product recommendations would be Great?
have updates soon thanks for looking
