Havnt done an update for ages due to different reasons.
As some of you will have seen i finally got my wheels on the day before Trax....On the way there one of the rear tyres was catching quite badly on the arch,i have now figured out why.....its because my coilovers werent level and one side sat lower, this is being sorted soon with the addition of new FK springs and spring seats from Steve at LMF for a very reasonable price. They have ceased up too which doesnt help matters either 
I have also replaced my bonnet with a brand new one for £47 (bargin) and have painted the underside Jet black.
There will be little bits around the car i will be doing over winter.At the moment i am making a bit to replace the old,grey cloth boot cover that has a rise in it for the wiper which i no longer need, which will be sprayed Jet Black.
Also i will be repainting a few interior trim bits that i have chipped some how.I may tidy up the underneath of the car over the winter if i get the chance.
As im happy with the car now, next years plan is to finally have my 1.2 engine removed and the bay sprayed jet black.This will be replaced by a midly tuned and rebuilt Nova GTE lump, as its a fairly easy swap and not very common.
Then i will enjoy the odd track day and shows once the engine is complete and run in!!
A few new pictures i took at Trax, hope you lot like it, i shure do!

LAMM13 - they where £200 for the 2 front and 2 rear and the back window so it works out £40 a window.
Nath - thats true ,altho the misses was paying that night.
Cheers for the comments so far,carnt wait to get abit more power to play with, i should be 21 by the time the engines done so insurance shouldnt be too bad!

Very small update, not involving the car tho!
My boss didnt want his old bike helmet so donated it to me,which was nice of him 
Its got a few chips on it here and there, but i'll airbrush them in.The pics below show it rubbed down ready for a few fresh coats of laquer. It will be nice for when i do some track days!!
