think it was Kayleigh you spoke to as i asked her to ring you, might show her your comment!

im sorry dude

half sprayed the bonnet in primer, then ran out half way through



then a fairy landed on my dump valve which was odd, so i took a photo of it;



Carbon fibre heater control bracket - saw it here first!



and a washer jet blank



some cool thing i found



then i went and bought some more paint and sprayed the bonnet in guide coat. obviously needs a few more coats



but the handbrake on my rallye calipers seized up big time, so took them off. im going to get some audi tt/leon cupra r calipers which dont seize up





but one of the bolts that holds the stub axle rounded out, so i jammed a smaller socket over it and it sheared the bolt in the middle fml.



so im going to have to drill it out but it seems to be a harderned bolt, and my drill cant even mark it!

i might strip the whole rear beam while im here, but i might not....

Wow your getting further away from getting it on the road.

Congrats.

are you actually retarded? or is it just an eleborate façade?

i see youve become less retarded and fitted your discs the right way round.

today i got bored so i fitted air ride;



not realy

needs to be done tbhhhh

put a nut over the remaining bit of bolt sticking out, weld the nut to the bolt, let it cool down whilst spraying it with penetrating fluid and it should come

thats a good idea!

i never thought of doing that before!

not sure if your being sarcastic?

incase your not... make sure you let it cool right down before you try and undo it though as the weld needs to harden off and the bolt is super expanded in the threads when its that hot so wont undo.

no i wasnt, im going to give that a go when i get home

and heres a photo of a hilarious fish;

awesome

tom it seems your build is going backwards do you need uncle lee to come over and finish it for you

No its ok uncle lee ive got the stud out. wasted £22 on easy outs too



sprayed up the stub axles



Discs and new bearings in/on



Sprayed the door handle inserts too



and got a hilarious sticker



although the grammars not brilliant!

Also got some audi TT calipers



wire brushed the s**t off them so i can paint them

Im waiting on new seals and nipples which vindis said will be here tomorow



Did some more arch work while i was down here, cut loads of slices



then hammered the f**k out of it then ran round it with a grinder



should help stop the 8.5"s rubbing

l like that sticker where did you get that from

LOLs at your sig, I dont even remember saying that.

Thanks tom got the sticker today

So basicly havent touched this for a month or so

been far too busy with work/girls/trackdays/getting pissed etc

didnt like the chrome horn button, so made a carbon blank and relocated the horn to a little button



got a new boost pipe, but the paint was shitty so i stripped it



looks nicer than the plastic one.



got the tt calipers on and bled up. I had to fit them upside down as the handbrake cables are too short.



My friend lee folded me a battery box ;-)






then i cut the wheel well out. ive been meaning to do this for ages

before;



got the fire extinguisher involved as there was lots of smoke and i was a little scared!



after



im going to cut this section out, then weld the battery box flush in here



Ive ordered a massive peice of carbon, so i need to pop it in the flowjet to cut the circle out, then i will seal/rivet it over the hole.
