| Veteran Posts: 422 Location: Herne Bay Kent |  This ones probably the best that shows the height now will be getting a higher profile tire 55 instead of 50 so arch will be filled a bit more and have a little bit of stretch | ||

| Extreme Veteran Posts: 539 Location: Swindon, Wilts | Fair enough, I got a daily for that lol ^-^. I like the fact you did what you wanted with the multi colour engine bay ect. I have found recently I like the more ground breaking styles people do. For example mk1-2 escorts, all the bloody same, either bubble arch or narrow arch, rs wheels or mini lights, engine is xflow/pinto/cossie its boring. I do not admire being in your tro with no harnesses and a cage lol  I like the look but it would scare me to much lol | ||

| Veteran Posts: 422 Location: Herne Bay Kent | Just another little update as much hasn't been done later due to the fact it it's so bloody cold. Only fitted the rear wiper back on, the mg red carpet and gave it a good clean. Over the past week I've had this really loud squeaking coming from the front passanger side whenever I turn or go over a bump so going to be starting the process of elimination with doing top ball joints and track rod ends thinking it could maybe be the steering rack also but will have to have a proper look on Friday. whilst the cars up going to to do the rear shoes and cylinders. Heres a few pics of how the car looks for now but found out half of my Xmas present from the misses are car parts = win!!     | ||

 Veteran Posts: 310 Location: nr Evesham Worcs | I like a lot!...... Almost as much as the fact, you have somehow managed to train your misses to buy car parts! Impressed by this fact even more than i am by the car . | ||
| Conor_GTa |

| Veteran Posts: 422 Location: Herne Bay Kent | Haha she said she would never buy car parts but I got my way nothing massive but loads of little bits for it that I've wanted . she actually chose the wheels think I've found a keeper. !! | ||

Veteran Posts: 310 Location: nr Evesham Worcs | Damn she must know her stuff then, but yea it sounds like it mate. Always best to keep them on side and involved then you dont have to justify the spending  . | ||

| Veteran Posts: 422 Location: Herne Bay Kent | Haha she didn't know anything about building cars until met her. I took her to a car meet and now she's hooked she bought herself a mk5 golf gti turbo and is debating air ride haha ! I still have to justify the spending but she can understand it more now. But half the time I don't tell her like when I go 1.8vvc I'm gunna just let her get in then scare the shit out of her | ||

| Veteran Posts: 422 Location: Herne Bay Kent | So managed to get some starmags second hand in good condition and after a polish up came out very nice had them fitted and on the car in under a hour of getting them . Started sticking a few things in the blaster at work ready for paint. Now looking at buying my 1.8 early January and have it all done by the end of February           | ||

| Veteran Posts: 422 Location: Herne Bay Kent | Quite a lot has happened since Christmas Bought rear shoes, wheel cylinders,rear bearings, top ball joints, GTi track rod ends. Also bought got my 1.8 engine (solid cam) and radiator. So on the lead up to this I've cleaned and painted the engine. Got cambelt waterpump filters and gaskets to fit. Change the wheel bearings on the rear as they where shot and could hear the grinding over the exhaust!! Before all this though wanted to go over the car for rust etc and of course i found a fair bit so have booked it in for next weekend to get all welded up. Once back will all get undersealed, engine bay respray and a tidy up on the body work but until then here's some pics                | ||
