Shame I didn't get a picture of the other 2 of our cars in the workshop

one sideskirt came off fine, the other was a complete twat to do, I used a hammer, an assortment of screwdrivers, a 13mm spanner, some sidecutters, some tinsnips, a hacksaw blade, a razor blade and a pry bar

At least I know what I need to use if I don't want anything to fall off. Ever.

anyway, here's a better pic with the standard mirrors on and the skirts off



I've also painted the front grille again, looks loads better, just needs a coat of clear.





The Caramel wheels did fuck all other than set fire to the tigerseal

Cambelt is done. Engine mount is modified temporarily to be stronger until the billet one is made. Boost pipes need to be done, then it needs fluids and we're away

Should be at the RSOC National day on the 17th at this rate.

Or not it's still a way away from being done and I've got 3 days left

On a lighter note, I'll be ordering some 888s soon, for the 15s.

I want to paint them a silly colour but apparently I'm not allowed

Got some longer wheel studs ordered now.

R888s will be ordered this week too, they're going on the 15s, the 16s will be for road use.

Literally all I need to do now is the boost pipes, when I've got the time.

Boost pipes are done

Just a few little bits left now, like changing the wheel studs to the longer ones and stuff, nothing major left now though.

To be honest, I don't know, I've only seen 3 for sale, one of them sold for £9k (with 250bhp) and wasn't any better than mine, the other one was advertised for £15k (with 290bhp) but I don't think it sold.

I'd probably sell it for what it owes me, which is about £6.5k.

The seats are Zetec ones, the doorcards are plain black.
