tailgate is looking pretty cool dude, whats that 16v sticker off? Looks like an old renault type style

Its No sticker, i painted it

Andy, not gunna mop her due to me getting it repainted at some stage. Restrict silicone contamination as much as i can.
It'll be lower once i get some much harder rear shocks, may even run solid bars and approx 13psi like what steve suggested to me.

Either way, i gotta get the wide splitties nicely tucked

oh cool cool looks good for being painted on.

Cheers man

not tried the tank yet as i need to have the truck off the road for a day or 2 to do the work on her. Did'nt have another legal car to go work in til now. Gotta get rid of the blue caddy truck and polo to make space now so maybe a while before i work on her again.

your wish is my command, lol!!!!

Have'nt touched my truck since i got my van for obvious reasons that it still needs odds and ends sorting.

Been sat at my house on crappy steels, no seats and no battery since approx november.
Removed my alpine amp and cables(ready for van install), fitted raddo seats and stuck a battery on.
1st turn of the key and she springs to life

Pumped the tyres up then went for a spin

God it makes me smile, i totally forgot how pokey it really is
I was tempted to drive her to the meet tonight but she'll need wheels swapping and a bloody good clean.
Driving it to my mums tommorow morning to store it while i SORN it for a couple of months.
She'll be back out to play in april

does that mean its coming to the bridge then?

Ya dint notice my few hours worth of buffing then lol :(

I also re-varnished the wood trims

Also sorted the interior but my cd player did'nt work so i pulled trims off again.
i'll have that sorted tommorrow.

Not sure if it'll be at DC09 yet, depends if i can get my rear arches sorted

Ha ha woops! Err, yeah, of course I did!

Are the arches rotten through or just a bit of surface mess?

Looks cool m8

Surface rust but they have little indents where i made slits to roll them. Caddy rear arches are rock hard to roll. I going to cut the inner lip out and probs weld on fresh outers so they'll be perfecto.

All in good time
