Rob_Mitchell Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Wasn't a joke mate. You underestimate your car so do others. I've heard it loads of times before, "my cars not good enough, blah blah blah". Your just being over critical or very reserved lol. You've got a show winner already, god knows what it's gona be like when it's done. not the fact mine aint good enough its the fact i have to polish my little arse off to reach the bar you set on your engine, and we both know its a mucky job lol. there are alot nice builds now and its really nice to see.

The best thing is every build is built for a different purpose on here. It's definitely going to be an interesting show session this year that's for sure.

I'm really looking forward to the shows this year, more than I have for a fair few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Good news n bad news. Finished the drivers door today so that's going back on the car tomorrow then I can start on the other side. Bad new is the gearbox on my punto just exploded so the cash I had saved up for the Syvecs has to be spent on that. Totally gutted. Bust a hole in the gearbox snashed the pressure plate and the clutch. It's the 4th box I've put in. There either crap boxes or I'm a little to aggressive with the gears lmao. I recon it's going to put the car back a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 I got the drivers door fitted yesterday, lined up perfectly. Also trimmed the drivers inner front arch lining and refitted the front wing. Loom for the knock sensor is made up and fitted. I've also started stripping out my rear install as I'm not happy with the way it sits now, so I want to trim it a little so it sits about 20mm lower. I want to sound deaden the drivers door today and also give the interior a good clean as it's full of dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
