Did a bit of work leading upto Ford Fair.

Proper interior now fully in

Waxoyled underneath for the time being until a full underside resto in winter

New fuel pump cradle, I think I got my moneys worth out of the old one

Cleaned the engine bay up and painted the charge carrier silver, no pic of the silver though

Painted the calipers, etc to cover the dodgy blue up

Front with disks back on and arch liners fitted after having them 4 months

Back done

Back together with the wheels on

New front mudflaps on

New rear ones

New front spotlights fitted

Also went to Bruntingthorpe for a magazine shoot (mines the back middle one)

A couple of finished shots

Also the suspension has been raised.

It has been setup by MSD, albeit a total of nearly 600 quid and in there for 3 days, but nows runs spot on. Should hopefully be on the good side of 200bhp and will hopefully going for 250bhp plus next year.

That will more or less be it until a full rebuild in the winter

That's alot of S1's

Looks nice mate. If it were me I'd give the arches a lick of fresh white and lose the arch liners, clean arches look awesome!

I know about the arch liners, function over from with the state of this summer

it's all gonna be redone over the winter in white and then I may take them out as I will have undersealed all the inner wings, etc properly, but then may keep them in until I sell to keep it in better nick because they are an absolute arse for rot. Debate, debate!

Not really, but if I get caught out this summer (unpredictible weather) its keeps it that bit cleaner and less work to do in the winter as the underseal on the inner wings isn't the best.

I wish I had a white car again just so I could paint my arches white!

Fair enough, I was just thinking if you don't drive it much then even if you do get caught out you could just wash the arches
