Welcome back.

The car looks good tbh, sorry to read it needs a good few bits sorting but looks like it is one that's worth the effort, so well done for sticking with. :o those tyres!

The rear bumper might reshape ok with a decent amount of heat? It's surprising what can be recovered on polyurethane body parts. @RattyMcClelland might be able to offer some advice on that one?

Glad you hung in there chap. :D I had started my track lude and then ran into cash problems. My glimmer of hope is that I got a decent pay rise this month so the mission is back on. Infact the rear TRM brace and new wheel and boss is on order pay day :twisted: :twisted:. Not a lot of people would of carried on with such problems. :clap: :clap: :10:

cheers mate, luckly in my job i can pick up a 2-3 extra shifts and it makes quite a differance to my pay packet at the end of the month. I know that feeling iv got tyres, all new pads and disks and a new rad waiting to be ordered on pay day so hopefully have that all sorted for the southampton meet. be nice to get some proper use of that Vtec the car goes well just doesn`t stop quite as well :(

and i wish my missis was as impressed with my determination as you guys are :lol: :lol:

not essential work i know but just had a chat with a good mate of mine who is parting with his pride and joy (focus :facepalm:) and he has been kind enough to lone me his orbital polisher and is also going to be selling me his black t-cut, fly eye tinting film and some blue high temp paint for a nice price of £5 so a nice lil cosmetic touch up is on the cards not much i know but will add a lil zest to the old girl 8-) so the plan will be to clean up and paint the callipers ( and carriers?? whats your thoughts?? ) tint the front and back lights and give her and dam good clean up on the outside as she has a nice deep stratch on one side and both sides look like the car has been driven through a hedge a few times!! hopefully il get the worst of this out. as soon as the work is done il get some pics up coz as we all know :uselesswithoutpics: :lol:
