Not had much time for the car recently due to moving house and what not, been far too busy. Theres always that bit of time to play with it though

My main priority was to sort out the faults that I posted a while back when I first drove the car. One thing that was seriously bad was the brakes, turned out to be air in the system even though the brakes had been bleed numerous times. In the end I had to do it the old fashioned way and wedge the brake pedal down overnight (thanks to Alex for the tip

) to release the air in the master cylinder. Pedal fell still isn't great but at least it stops

Also managed to get the speedo working, thought it was going to be a bit of a 'mare to begin with but was another nice easy fix since it was just the pulse wire that had broke

I've gone back to the standard rear lights as my MHWs are a bit grubby looking, never been too pleased with them tbh.

Then we got a nice sunny day, would be rude not to make the most of it so out came the hammerite

And I've also gone back to Depos due to deciding I no longer like Morettes

And a few random snaps, worth noting I eventually painted my center caps

When I was changing the lights I felt as if I was taking a step backwards, but when I was finished and stood back I thought to myself, why did I ever put that tat on my car

, much prefer the OEM look now. I'll probably change my mind in a few months again though

@FlaFFy, I've only been using it on private land atm due to it still not being taxed etc and I've still yet to declare the conversion, I've still no real need for a 2nd car atm so I'm happy enough with it sitting in the yard, gives me something to pootle about with when I'm bored

Yea, sometimes I miss the poverty spec, still nice though

I'll get smaller rubber when the current rubber is down to wires

Might get some new back arches too, broke most of the clip things on the back

How come Mark? I thought you liked German rears since you have them on yours

, whats the fit like with them? I noticed with my MHW's that they didn't sit perfect on the N/S. Are they the same?

Need opinions on what I should do with my arches/skirts etc. I'm so indecisive when it comes to things like this

Going to be painting them soon, but got 3 options.

Leave them Matt, gloss black or anthracite? I'm kind of leaning towards anthracite atm but I can't decide

Gloss black
