I need to get the scuttle repaired.
An MTech2 front spoiler would be nice.

[march109]

Fitting all that crap (if and only if it passes its MOT!) Currently I have an ABS problem that doesn't seem to check out, all the sencors work, and I've changed the pump, ECU and relays for known working ones but still the light won't go out!

Cars gonna be off the road untill April at least. But need to take it round places to get a few works done so need it MOT'd and taxed ASAP.

Forgot to mention, need the arches rolled to fit the wheels.

Signature's out of date. Range Rover gone to auction in October, KN is the g/f's car.

[BMracing]

to get rid of it and get an audi!

Why on earth would you want to do that?!!

For the tech 1:
restore/respray rear arches, rear panel, maybe bonnet. New dash/interior trims, retrim/replace drivers seat, complete suspension overhaul, fit my bbs rx wheels from the 4 door, new simpler sound system, replace fishtank foglamp, smiley headlights with HID's.

the whore door:
suspension alignment, new brake linings all round, braided hoses, remove sunroof and mechanism and fit aluminium panel, fibreglass bonnet, replace both front wings, minor repairs to rear arches, fit oil catch tank, fit my team dynamics black pro race 2 wheels and spacers. Possibly a baffled sump and a lairy cam.

And maybe a 6 branch manifold for both cars!

An expensive year ahead but looking forward to the results!
