Update 22/11/07

On monday i did a 400mile round trip to have a mantzel inlet fitted! dedication!

Thankyou to Jack Davey for fitting it for me + The food! Top Bloke! think i scared him when i was driving it at first!- felt completly different and strange, but got use to it now, and loving it!!

Pulls really well when over 5k revs now! Great purchase! only problem is i cant seem to fit the engine cover!, and imo engine bay looks a tad untidy!

O and as said before-car needed another mop+polish due to the finish being poor on last respray! picked it up from bodyshop today and decided to take some pictures!!

Saturday the new seats will be fitted!







My fav one :

Finally fitted the seats! Rubbish pictures- but thought i might aswell put them up on here!!

Seats feel well comfy!, but didnt think about practicallity when buying them!! its pretty much impossibe to get in rear of car now!, so stripping the rear will commence soon! Also purchased this week was a new numberplate light cover!











Plans for next week - Buy Stienmetz Sideskirts & pick up new bumper from bodyshop!
