  11. Cheers!

    They are bits removed from my car

    Currently rocking no door handles

    Handles are gloss, exhaust trim satin

    Should look better than the tatty silver handles it rocked previously

    ..Piece of piss

    The theory is really simple, but my R26 ones were a real pain.. pull lever with a bent bicycle spoke/coat hanger, slide lock out and slide handle backwards!! Gave up a few times but persevered and got them out with some wiggling. Be careful putting them back in that you do not push the mechanism right in when you reinsert the handle so that it doesn't fall inside the door.

  20. Did something about them stupid tips on the window rubbers today, i used some of the black sealer type stuff, that you find around the door cards, to seal against the panel.

    [​IMG]

    Also dressed the tyres, car looks much better now, almost looks a different color to when i started :tongueout:

  21. Lined up for next week: two new Michelin cup 2 tyres for the front (125 + vat from Auto Precision Scunthorpe) high gloss black wheels refurbished, H&R -35mm springs and new driver's door check strap. Belts, water pump and thermostat next month!
     
  22. pulled the carpet up, removed the soaked foam, trying to dry it all out, proper pain in the arse.

  24. Finally fitted my second hand inferno door hinge as the old one has done my head in since i got the inferno meg:triumph:
    Got a helping hand from one of my lads...Who was happy to help for a bit of cash:tearsofjoy:...So happy quite days IMG_20170313_170833.jpg
     
  25. Dropped the H&R springs off at the garage for fitting next week. Cup2's have arrived and gloss black powder coat refinish for the wheels arranged too!
     
  26. Has it gone mouldy? It will dry eventually but it needs rinsing out with a hose or soaking in a bucket. I hacked mine into smaller bits so I could clean it more easily then packed it around all the radiators in the house. Once it's back in the car you wont notice or care that it's been chopped up.

    It holds LOTS of water though so spend some time squeezing as much out of it as you can before you attempt to dry it. Horrible job.

  28. Cheers for the info, it was really soaked, spent ages squeezing water out, just got to find out where the water is getting in now, its not the scuttle drains.
     
  29. Mine was the aircon drain. Absolutely packed with crap so a surprisingly large amount of condensation was spilling out into the car. It's an absolute bastard to clean out from the top with one of those drain unblocker rods but might be easier from underneath.

  30. Just got my new trophyesq stripes from Jester Creations being put on with some additional vinyl next week will post when done should be great.......

  31. Decat fitted and new AC condenser, picked it up today.

    If anyone is even thinking of decatting the standard system but not sure, just get it done! Pops and bangs for fun in sport mode!

    Coming together slowly :-)

    Deep clean next!

  32. Just back from Costco having had x4 Michelin PS4s fitted. £417 with a £50 Costco voucher arriving in the post shortly. Can't grumble at that.

    Loads quieter than the Hankook winters that were on it. Looking forward to seeing if they perform as reviewed.

  33. Ordered my sports cat and parked the car up on the drive to give it a wash but the bastard rain won't stop :worried:
     
  34. Went out to replace the thermostat. Took one look at the rusty hose clips and thought 'not today'. Then it rained 5 minutes after packing up just to add to my apathy...
     
  35. Just a wash to remove the rock salt left from Tuesday's snow. Typical the sun was so intense the snow foam baked on in seconds [emoji57]

  38. Since my last update I've had a CGR decat fitted and a map tweak at RS Tuning. The car sounds very naughty now, I love it.

    I'm currently sitting in DDC in Doncaster's (great guys) waiting room while they replace a hub bearing and fit a new set of plain front discs with Performance Friction Z rated pads. Can't wait to drive it in anger again!
