Deadmetal Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Just a small update. Found a set of dust caps in my Grans old house. Thought I'd see if they'd fit.Looks like I'll be keeping them.Major updates may be happening in the next couple of months, expecting some money from a Bond.

Deadmetal Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Cheers Ive had my parents in it a few times at this height. Doesnt scrub unless going over bumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 good as always! please sort the petrol flap though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) @ Ben, the petrol flap will be going red very soon. Got bored of how it breaks the back up.YAY! A half decent update.These turned up this morning. Awesome service once again from Awesome GTI5mm spacers for the front. Should stop the scrubbing on the inside of the arch. Added bonus of making the car sit better. Oh, and they weigh bugger all aswell.Before fitting:After: Edited November 11, 2012 by Deadmetal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadmetal Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) Attacked the car with a couple of rattle cans today. No more green filler cap.I've also been trying to polish up the wing mirror bases. Progress so far: Edited November 11, 2012 by Deadmetal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 (edited) Drilled out lower shock mounts today, with help from my Dad of course.3 reasons for doing it.1: The shock will be compressed less when driving normal, wich will increase comfort2: Less stress on the shocks, less likely to blown them.3: Springs dont fal out at full extension, wich means I wont need to put the adjusters back in for MOTs.Pics Edited November 11, 2012 by Deadmetal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadmetal Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Spent the day down Southsea Seafront on sunday for Beach Buggin'.Was a pretty cool show. Had my bonnet up for a while just for a giggle. Had fun watching people stare into the bay trying to figure out what is special about it. It's just got green bits. lolCouple of new pics.

shane92 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Man was it easy gettin the dash parts out to spray?How did you prep them?I was trying to take out mine but felt like i was going to snap somthing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 The air vent covers just pull out. On the drivers side you need to unscrew the cover on the bottom and turn the light dial all the way round a push it in.The dial cover has a couple of screws on the under side and the centre consol is screwed in, you need to take out the radio and cubby hole thing first though.Prep was a good clean with hot soapy water, to get rid of any grease, oil etc, a light sand down with 1200 grit and then primered.
