thought i'd bump the thread before it diseappears into extinction nothing to report really, car and my bank balance took an 18month holiday from each other So only a small few updates, split my 2 front wheels, shortened the bolts, got shallower nuts and washers and removed the gaskets, first time splitting and rebuilding wheels so im quite chuffed to report they are holding air and im now down from using 9mill spacers to 5mm from this to still not happy but its better than it was Also started on building a false floor, figured i may as well seeing as though the rear seats were useless anyway pics fof progress so far and hopefully if carpet arrives tomorrow i shall get it finished over the weekend Getting a few bits of paint tidied up next month and all going well she shall be over for edition, my fear of her has gone and im now excited about getting out driving it again

using a pliers will be fine, same happened mine, get a new lever from a scrappy or only a couple quid from a dealers

I got my lupo from south Wales, so it involved, a plane, a train and a ferry to bring it home

Mitch just wanna say a huge congrats on getting the car finished for Edition, its a credit to you and looks awesome truly awesome and i dont say that about many cars i think a shout out should prob be giving to Nicola for having the patience to put up with the build well done you two a job very well done

Good luck with MOT

any update on the trimmer since the weekend

this is the one and only car im excited about seeing at edition this year - you had better not disappoint and not have it ready or there will be no baked goods in the post for you and Nic

will take longer than that im afraid - i got back to light training in the gym and work 6 weeks after surgery im back running and doing all machines again but my knee is still quite week, certain positions i cant do and muscles on top of knee are still slack, and knee is still swollen almost 6 months laterand road running is a no go

what type knee surgery are you having? i had some cartiladge tidied up and the base of my knee cap shaved as it wearing uneven and i walked out of the hospital 5 hours later, thought i would need crutches but didnt, limped badly for first 2 weeks then gradually got better on topic edition rock on, already started pricing ferries over for it

bloody hell mammoth work gone into this already, you changing the colour? really looking forward to seeing this

no - cant get the time off work doing charleys instead

mines called bitch cos it acts like one most of the time

Havent updated this in a while - since the above pics its had some paint tidied up, new headlights and indicators momo team 280mm and carbon fibre door trims which i bought off Mark Had some mechanical issues with thermostat housing and oil pressure switch and now have a few niggles with egr valve but nothing major Anyway heres some pics iv robbed from people from UD and Dubshed at the weekend UD started off on the hard shoulder a few times over heating door trims and heres some from Dubshed and my trophy which i was chuffed to bits with getting No real plans for immediate future as im completely skint balls from ferries and paint and getting it fixed etc plus for once i think i might actually spend some money on something other than the car so next thing is just smaller dishes on the front so i can get it lower and sitting better, interior and engine will wait

hope it dosent end up being anything massive
