Well look even better after the kits been re-done then!

I love it with black wheels to! Makes it looks mean and stealthy! Which is what you need with an xe in

Should get the cesaros done black if you dont keep the slabs on

Ahh yeah, forgot about that bump he had. I'll drop him a line.

I'm usually one for wanting my car to stand out, that's why i liked the cesaros, but for some reason i prefer the more stealthy, all black look about them.

Appreciate the comments though

Not done much this week. Stripped the white one of all its bits, thats getting picked up and scrapped tomorrow. Pics tomorrow

Big thanks to sxi-kid for hand delivering the genuine vaux wind deflectors, top man!


Also had a bit of a run in last night, with a chav. I was coming round a corner at a t junction, some lad walked out infront of me, hit him about 10-15mph, broke my wing mirror off and cracked my windscreen. He's admitted just walking out as my light was on green and the little man on the crossing was on red. He's alright though, bruised hip. So yeah, new windscreen tomorrow.

Last but not least i can't think of a decent colour scheme. I was going to go black and white but my mates mini is that and don't fancy looking like twins.
Few mates have said pink or kawasaki green (the rocker cover, future cage and maybe track wheels will be this colour) but im not sure. Ideas?

You got them lights fitted now Jordan?

I think it's about 2", not really arsed as it was cheap and will do for the time being.


Right, since the last update:

I took the head off, started cleaning it up, whacked it back on then decided i wanted to some work doing to it. So i took it back off and now im just waiting for a day off so i can take it to philip2's place for a port, polish, skim, seats re cut, stem seals etc.

Got the rocker and cambelt cover sent off, just waiting to get them back. Then i can get it built back up.

Bored so thought i'd make a list of things i need to buy and things i need to do.

THINGS TO BUY:
256mm disks and pads
clutch, pressure plate and release bearing
Thermostat (bought)
Mount kit
Water pump
Timing belt and tensioners

THINGS TO DO:
Get the head and rocker cover back then fit.
Fit water pump and tensioners and belt
Fit the thermostat
Fit clutch kit
Take engine off the stand, fit gearbox, maybe another lick of paint.
Fit the mount kit, hubs, shafts etc, and get the engine in.
