ripped_fear Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 So Im now actually Skint This car is bleeding me dry. Have bought all the bits from steve manley mentioned previously All the gaskets for the tubo pipes, TB and plenum. But added the Rocker gaskets, badge and a TB badge (not sure if its the right one) Also bought a cheap single DIN head unit to tie me over until I can afford to get the double din I want. Picked a cheap Alpine one up so should do the job for a few months. Also Have heard my parts are now in primmer so will have more pictures later tonight. And finally tomorrow is my day off so will start on a few more jobs, not sure what to start tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parm_93 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 What's the reason for the stock to stock bumper change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 What's the reason for the stock to stock bumper change? Means I can keep the car in one piece for now while parts are away at the body shop. I always buy spares then sell them on once the new bit is fitted. Although I normally end up keeping the old parts but determined to keep the shed a bit clearer this time round. More expencive way of doing it but with the body shop being so far away it just make more sense and I dont have to rush them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Great updates Jake, awesome news on the sponsor, so do they give you freebees? whats the deal and how does the sponsor work? be great to see this one as your N/A was amazing Thanks mate its a bit daunting doing all this again, but After a few years im sure it will far exceed the previous build, or at least I hope so. For now I want the first stage done on the bay exterior and interior, then I can set on doing all the little bits which will make it somthing special. For now Im trying to be as methodical as I can be. Haven't had anything out of the sponsorship yet but will do. Yeah get a few things, haven't got them yet but will do, plenty of other bits like full detail, show tickets, photo shoot, etc so its rather exciting, although part of me wishes I hadn't of given myself the pressure. Pushing me to the limit both mentally and financially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the most broke man in the country at the minute and can't even afford fuel, so you're making me jealous. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
