some of what i done today







the step liners arent the best but there better than all the scuffed paint and crappy marks

the puddle lights are from a granada/scorpio and are dead easy to fit

[Valsheda]

Nice one mate , looks like you have been busy , i like the lights in the doors , cool idea

[madmark]

you have done a good job mate well done!

[100ps_drw_hicube]

ye took a while to cut the holes perfect but got there in the end for some reason the pic looks really crappy around that red light it dont look that bad in real life bloody digital cameras hopefully i will get the drivers door on this week i have been meaning to do it for ages but had lost the 1/4light glass new piece sourced from a scrappy

Did you put silicone round the light?

Did you put silicone round the light?

nooooooooooooooooooooooo silicone rots steel quicker than salt i used some special window type sealer we use it loads on conservatory roofs and is safe for steel i think i know why it looks so crappy when i cut it out it heated up loads so has probably buggered the paint up a bit oh well will get it touched up when it gets sprayed

right flushed the p.a.s thru today pump is as quiet as a mouse no noises at all just got to get a pipe at the weekend also a m8 dropped by earlier and gave me a cone filter i couldnt resist it it sounds excellent has the most horrendous whistle on full throttle louder than a dump valve and she seems to shift a lot better

[MrMPuk]

Ready for you to blow it up again!

[100ps_drw_hicube]

nah i am still running it in only done 2k since the headgasket so dont want to naff it up again i havent taken it over 3000rpm will run it for another 3k yet before i go any higher i hate full engine rebuilds

[MrMPuk]

Not sure you need to run a head gasket in!

[100ps_drw_hicube]

no harm in it eh?? its just with a very heavy right foot i am not keen on thrashing it just yet thats why my dads driving it most of this week

[Valsheda]

i guess he doesnt want you stripping the engine on the drive again yet

[100ps_drw_hicube]

no he went mad the last time thats why when i done the head again last week i had to do it out on the road bloody council are moaning now about all the oil have managed to jet wash most of it away

[100ps_drw_hicube]

came out this morning and found some little f***er had done this between the hrs of 01.00am and 05.00 am



then went and weighed in 1/2 ton of alloy got halfway home and had nearly ran out of fuel popped the bonnet to find derv pi**ing out of the return pipe (to tank) all in all a bad day £23 for new pipe and a arm and a leg to get the door straightened
