Shiny!

Not sure on the scoop though. Guess it serves a purpose.

Managed to squeeze a few hours in today! Nothing amazing but some progress

Two weeks time should see a gearbox change, oil, spark plugs etc etc. Then all thats left is to get the electrics sorted and give it a good check over before the MOT in may!

Fitted my roll cage mount for my GoPro camera, seems to be in about the right position!



Then I removed the old windscreen washer bottle and fitted my smaller one, which in turn gives me room for the oil catch tank! still need to get some piping, but atleast its in position! I was going to heat wrap my manifold today but decided I couldnt be bothered so that will get done next time

Before



After





Just a couple of picture of the new scoop and general car again

Got some more done at the weekend!

Fitted my Team HEKOwind deflectors, topped up my new washer bottle and heat wrapped my exhaust manifold!

The manifold looks much better now and should keep the under bonnet temps down

A few pictures of the progress below.....
