oh just before i put the pictures on of the car sat back on the ground i also noticed that with the new bumper mesh you can see through it alot more than before and if im honest it was looking shabby so sanded it all down and gave it a bit of paint to look that bit better.

 

BEFORE......................

Right guys its getting there! ive totaly gone off the glass headlights i fitted last year so i have some facelift ones on order which will be here on thursday.

The cars going to Toyota on tuesday with my mate to get the tracking done along with a diff and gearbox oil change and MOT.

i cant wait to drive it again after 2 years and soooooooo many hours ive pumped into it to get it looking like this.

ive spent all day with the polish and as you can see it was a total waste as it banged it down just as i got the camera out!

a few small things still to do and as usual ill keep updating

hope you like it :rolleyes:

right then so the car went to toyota to get the tracking checked which was fine and only needed a small tweek.

It flew through the MOT and also had the gear box oil changes along with the diff oil

they tell me it was a struggle getting it on the ramps as i expected.

Had another full day working on the car today,ive done 170miles ish in the car so far and after not driving it for so long and changing all the things i have ive just been keeping an eye on everything and im please to report no issues apart from one which ill get on to.

theres no scrubbing the arches or anything,one moan i have is the front end is super low so i may lift it abit as i cant get on anyones drive that has any kind of ramp as it is!

the issue ive had was with the sound system,the systems so powerful when i cranked it up the headlights along will all other lights on the were affected so i decided rether than upgrade the altinator id go for a power cap.

i went for a top of the range one as its a big job pulling the system build apart so thought id beter do it right.

as a result of it being fitted the lights dont pulsate anymore and the sound quality is much better! unlike the quality of the pics which is poor for some reason.
