LOL


Get this thing sorted mate or i going to rob ya carbs!

Well my situation changed quite a bit over the last 6 months and to be honest the poor thing on my driveway just wasn't an interest to me it had caused no end of grief and really i considered selling up.

Anyway the fire has been reignited this last month (with help from Lee regularly hassling me!! thanks mate x ) and i decided to sell the A8 winter wheels, they will now be rolling around on a lupo!!

And whilst you were enjoying springfest i was on the M1 off collecting my new rims, and some other OEM parts for my now set in stone recreation i've broken my iphone so no pics at the moment, but i will now update my build i promise. I just need to collect a new bonnet from Liam B this week and then the block is out for some refurbishment and she's off to the painters.

i'm not promising when you'll see it but i'm aiming at edition for a blast out after all the niff naff jobs that need doing.........thats probably the kiss of death now haha

Nice one jim

How about a 2L bottom end whilst its coming back out?. Gimme a shout if you want the head rebuilding too

wheels into wheelgenie today for a little straightening, de-kurbing, already for coating then its tyre time. new fk coilovers ordered too as wasn't feeling the supersport ones. (well i was feeling them, they were rock hard haha! )

where you been mate, thought youd drop off the edge of the earth

still want some seats?

Got my rims back from wheelgenie today, and i must say they did a good job of straightening the two dents out, and cheaply too

however im not too keen on there powdercoating costs so if anyone knows someone/somewhere good and reasonable i'd be much obliged

cheers

About time Jim, welcome back! Keep the progress coming and get to some shows with us THIS year....
