How does the arm rest fit into the car please?

Not very well really. Not hinged and no catch it just sits into the space. $:-\$

Having a week in Greece very soon so wheels off at the end of last week and onto axle stands. Drop of Goddess Green on the calipers this weekend, the Hammerite hammered finish is very nearly the same colour as 6R4.

Took said wheels this morning for the paint job. The first thing he does is check they are straight and one is slightly bent, showed me there and then so an extra £40 to have it straitened. Hey ho sh*t happens.

Can't wait to see the results

s12vea · August 27, 2019, 13:03

Looking forward to seeing the pics

H1GRM · September 11, 2019, 14:43

Back from hols, 30 degree's in Halkidiki last Friday to 12 at home on Saturday....

Picked up the wheels on Monday and fitted Tuesday just going out for a spin so took the pics attached. I appreciate the colour choice will not be to every ones taste but I think they look brill... fit for a Goddess.

PCV valve change next and might finally get to paint Dev's key hole covers.

Greg, certainly "different" and why not, make your Goddess different to everybody elses

s12vea · September 11, 2019, 17:49

That works Greg

Top job

Insurance due next week renewal from Flux was £323 so contacted Chris Knott and Greenlight.

The latter said they could not compete with my renewal but Andy Humphrey at Chris Knott has been excellent. All sorted at £269 + £38 for a £7500 agreed value.

What a glorious day. Top down motoring at its best.

Fitted the new PCV valve first thing and got out on the roads.

Couple of short journeys either side of luchtime and a super cross country run to Thetford and back for a Swim event this evening. Thetford Forest on the way home, top down, just after 9pm was loads of fun. Boys and their toys hey....

Finally sprayed my "Dev's key hole covers" @Dev and werok to slot in today.

Rather pleased with the finish as me and a spray can are a dangerous recipe.

Pics attached.

StuC · September 20, 2019, 16:12

Really pleased to see these on the car now. Good effort Greg!

H1GRM · September 20, 2019, 16:36

Thanks Stu, even though they are not yellow?

Ardent · September 20, 2019, 17:03

I'm sure Stu could arrange that.

H1GRM · September 25, 2019, 12:10

@wotugonado cover fitted today.

Manifold shield and engine cross brace off as I am having them painted.

Loads of ways to spend on a "2"

s12vea · September 25, 2019, 14:47

Nice to see the car still evolving

Looks great, little weird to see it on someone else's car though....
Sure does lift the engine bay

Would look better in Banana, if I had seen the post quicker than you!! Lol

It's a quality item and matches your new rear spoiler.

The first cut is the deepest.... Don't say Rod Stewart...

Decided to get on with cutting the Frunk plastic this morning. After a nervous start it seemed to go ok.

s12vea · October 2, 2019, 17:24

Have you found a front strut brace?

Looks very neat to me, much better job than my butchery!

What did you do for the frunk bin lid?

Hi Steve,

Yep, got a genuine TRD off fleaby. Only issue is that it has been plastered with black shiny paint. Off to my paint guy for stripping and painting, along with OEM rear brace and the manifold shield.
