Not really posted pics of this before, but thought I'd share. Excuse the dirtiness and the missing front badge, they're a work in progress. IMG_0006 by feirny, on Flickr IMG_0009 by feirny, on Flickr IMG_0010 by feirny, on Flickr IMG_0013 by feirny, on Flickr
Forgot I had them on haha. I had a Trophy last year mate, had a few cars since that, but yeah that's me.
Decided to retrim my centre console this evening, not done a bad job but I'll be doing another as I know where I went wrong this time. It's a very close match to the seats, and I've got enough to do another 7, but I'll attempt a few other bits in the future.
Bought some alcantara off eBay. Used some spray adhesive to stick it, and the buttons weren't too bad, they're just a little rough around the edges and I need to tidy it up. Should do mate, I'll be doing a few other bits in time.
Alright Feirny, Meg looks good mate. Will have to catch up and you can take me for a ride Hopefully get the sunflower back to my gaff soon to get it ready for use. Give you and shout and you can come over if you like? Hope you're well Nath
Alright Nath! Yeah give us a shout mate, I'm no longer at ECP though but can still get you bits. Yeah I need to get another one to sort and have a second go really.
One quick iPhone shot of the car now with R26.R fog blanks fitted. Never really been a fan of front fog lights, so bought some of these from Adam.
:cool: Hi feirny, i fancy wrapping my clocks cover in alcantara how much was it off ebay or can i be really cheaky and pinch/buy a bit off you if you have loads left
Yeah I think they'll really contrast the dark wheels and I think I'm gonna get some r26r headlights before long
Got my car back from Mark last night after he fitted R26.R clutch and Solid Flywheel, as well as putting new driveshafts in that I'd supplied from Ads. All was good until I got a few miles from home and I lost my clutch pedal, so after a phone call to Mark I managed to limp it home in second gear. Mark drove up to mine this morning to investigate and fitted a new clip of some description that holds a pipe to the box (that's my technical explanation). Can't fault him, wasn't his fault and he drove up to sort it on a Sunday, he's a proper hero. It was a shame as I'd planned to get up at 4am and drive up towards Northumberland, so those plans were scuppered. As I was bored and waiting for Mark, I fitted my new R26.R headlights I'd bought the previous week, 30 mins later and they were on.

Need to get my front brakes fitted next, along with a short shifter.
So that chapter is over, got a good offer on it from someone who I know will look after it. Hopefully she'll sign up here if she's not already. Going to miss what was an exceptional car! Not sure where I go from here, but we'll see.
