[CrazySX]

yeah my old man said the same thing. I'm lucky.....that i have a 12 month mot (clearly dodgy at time of purchase) so I have time to get it all in order.

well in order of importance I think  this should be it lol I could be wrong lol.

5. tracking/alignment
3. replace cv gaitors
5.service car
4.new rear tires (self inflicted)
7.replace rear drivers 1/4
1. replace caliper
2. replace pads

6.replace handbrake cable
10.tighten gas pedal (reduce the slack)
take off badly attempted earthing kit.
9.find a battery strap
8.replace springs
11. body fill spoiler holes.
11. sand and body fill JDL
refurb new wheels
13.wrap car.
12. clean engine bay
15. put on pretty engine bay cables and tubes
14. modify pfl vents wrap in carbon
17.install stereo + sound system
16.replace soft top
 i'm sure there are other things I just cant think of right now

Just a little niggle, you have 2 x no.5 and i would advise to prioritise fitting the springs as you will probably find they are broken anyway, and you should have them done before wheel alignment as the ride height will be different.

so I do! that's the laziness coming through, very good point.

[kostonhumar]

Hopefully il have the doors  and one rear quarter done

[CrazySX]

Good progress bud! U have done a great job on the wings. Must have been hard working around the arch to get it that nice.

[kostonhumar]

Don't get me started the moment you do those arches everything goes wrong you seemingly are constantly stretching the crap out of the vinyl

[kostonhumar]

Another buy just picked up a datesk ecu for £75 I think I just found myself another bargain

[CrazySX]

Where do u get all these bargains! U lucky man!

Any more progress with the wrap? Or u driving around in a multi colour motor  s:D s:D

[kostonhumar]

i have become quite partial to  the blue and gunmetal but I need to buy some more but haven't gone round to buying it. swapping springs out  soon and replace a seized calliper, i'm kind of attacking it as and when. But I might try and finish the wrapping over the weekend minus the bumpers as there is no way in hell I can wrap jdl  bumpers...( nor fit them as my car doesn't have the ground clearance for them.

[CrazySX]

good decision, get the car reliable for winter.  i think i will put my TS bumper and skirts on next year now too.  If i break is in the winter i don't really want to be messing around trying to fix it.

I take it your car isn't your daily then?

[kostonhumar]

It wasn't but it is now......got attacked by a vehicle transport lorry bye bye 3year old 1 series. your 65mpg will be missed. lol

I'm thinking with my settlement to get a gt86 :S

Cheers bud hoping to finish it this weekend well nearly as my jdl bumper needs talc and a professional hand

[kostonhumar]

Fit the rear jdl  not too bad still needs sanding and filling and wrapping...

Front to come

[dkirkwood89]

Nice to see it taking shape though

[Jrichards20]

Can you take a picture from the side mate? I would love to know what it looks like from the side without any side skirts.

[kostonhumar]

sure thing, I will get one up soon as.

[kostonhumar]

She's now three colours gun black and blue and when I pick up the lid from roo silver too

[Jrichards20]

Hmm, guess the shadow in that picture helps. But having the rear bumper and no side skirts doesn't look that odd?

The rear bumper doesn't look bad. Having a front bumper and no skirts on the other hand looks very odd.

[Jrichards20]

Yes I don't want the front bumper. I have the rear jdl bumper, but the front will be too low for me but wondering what it would look like with just the rear? Yay or nay?

I have this dilemma with my TS bumper. I need skirts else it just looks very weird!

If you look at the height difference between before and after the wheel the rear bumper really looks alright.  Almost like a stock bumper with spats. So I would say yay!  s:) s:)

[kostonhumar]

I haven't got round to fitting the sides as it required drilling and sticking and stuff!! But hopefully il grab it from the old man wrap and stick em down!
