Update:
Well done trackday today at hullavington airfield with Motorsport-events. Was good day shame about the weather, Car went well and i drove it hard throughout the day and was problem free which is always good. Sound test was 89.6dB at 4,500rpm and after the first session i got pulled over by the noise tester and said i was a bit noisey and wanted me to do another noise test (limit is 100dB) so i did and that cam up 91.6dB now it warmed up. Which was still well under, so he was happy enough and left me alone for the rest of the day  I took few pictures which i will post up but i'm waiting for the photograph to upload the good pictures. I also got in car video and drive by videos which i need to upload.
Anyway here few pictures:
Outside Mates house in Chip:
A little to low with all the tools in 
 
My Mates P1 which i built up from standard for him now making 406.9hp
My Mates Cupra 1.8 20v T i built/building from standard at the moment around 200hpish, will be alot more soon:
Dirty Ronnie:
Monkey Stayed for the ride
Will post ontrack pics/vids asap
Cheers Dale

Little Sticker i made at my Dads Work :
Fitted my Lower Trim Thing:

Before:
After:

Final Update:
At 1:49am this morning Ronnie died.....
I was driving home with my Gf and was just coming into Wroughton and a deer decided to cross the road and i hit it at about 60mph, this kicked the car and i was unable to do anything..... we went into the tree head on..... i'm gutted weeks before PV i know it was only run around but its all the hard work i put into him.
I got in at 6 this mornin from a & e and had work at 8 not good.
Heres Some pictures:
Before:
At Home the next day:
After work today i wanted to see the real damage, I Took the engine out, generally its ok (needs Manifold, oil cooler etc but the main block is ok no damage to sump.) Wheels Look ok no dents or marks. it was lucky as it was only grass but i will check them on wheel balancer at work, Coilovers look straight too but i will check once i removed them.
So whats next......
the plan is to find another shell and complete conversion before PV...
lets wait and see
Dale
p.s. RIP Ronnie
