Looks nice :) what's next, or are you concentrating on the other loop?

Well I'm tryin to get the other lupo done for the end of the summer so this one won't have much progress until then.

Engines coming out and getting rebuilt over the winter though :)

So many loops, so little time... ;)

Very true!!

So a friend of a friend has asked to do a bit of a magazine feature on my car - really nothing big but heyho :)

Had some photos taken at a local car meet last Sunday for it...

Gotta love spongebob!

Got loads of rolling shots took as well but they haven't been edited yet but I'll post some up when I get them ^_^

Wheel update

Got some Fondmetal 2600 B's which I picked up today. Totally chuffed that some came up for sale as I've wanted a set for a while...Funnily enough it was from the same guy that I bought my BBS off (I think we have a similar taste in wheels!)

Some pictures:

So now as well as the TDI, and soon to be rebuilding the engine in Alva I now have some wheels to refurb!

A lot of busy weekends ahead of me I think.

The boyfriends brother managed to put a dent in my bonnet by dropping a lorry jack handle on it :(

Had the paintless dent removal guy round today and he says that theres no way of getting it out as its under the strengthening and its bonded all the way around...New bonnet time :thumbdown:

Class hat!

+1 :)

Haha thanks!

I wear it to every car show so you'll be able to spot me a mile off ^_^

So I finally got hold of a rolling shot from a shoot that I went to a few weeks ago...

The guy took 100's of photos but has only got round to editing about 30 so they're all I've got atm :'(

Hopefully more to come!

Show wise I attended Modified Nationals instead of Dub Mania - big mistake!

If I hadn't of already got the tickets then I wouldn't of gone.

Weather was ****, cars were ****, show as a whole was ****... Wasn't impressed!

But still...Club Skidmark's

So I spent about 5 hours cleaning my car on Saturday ready for DC12...

I asked the boyfriend to help me clean my engine bay, my thoughts being that as a mechanic he could move everything knowing where to put it back and not break it...I was wrong!

He broke my coil pack...

Basically he pulled one of my ht leads out and took a bit of the coil pack with it :\

I was NOT a happy bunny!

And as it was 6pm there was no chance of getting a replacement in time to make it to the show...or even work today! :(

However, the car was sparkling so here's some pictures of my wasted effort!

Shiny exhaust!

It really is ridiculous having two cars and not being able to use either of them...:doh:

Hopefully Alva will be fixed by this afternoon though!
