[munky30]

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!

take the bulb out.

[zaust]

Re shell into a touring that is already under way for the tech 1.
The mummy wagon will be slammed, Scorpion dtm to go on and I have a screen to put in the back to keep Alex happy.

[tailoutcharlie]

[StuBeeDoo]

Apart from driving it.....
First job is to get the Recaro's and rear seats all in matching cloth.
Second is to have another attempt at locating knocks in the front suspension (I've already changed everything except the legs and top mounts).
I need to get the scuttle repaired.
An MTech2 front spoiler would be nice.
And hopefully I can get my 2.3 engine project under way.

I think this is the shortest my list has been for the last 4 years.

Front suspension now sorted.
Making brackets for the SapphCos Recaro's this weekend and the cloth is now on order. The seats should be at the trimmers by this time next week.
I've sourced an MTech2 front spoiler (thanks Tony), I just need to tidy it and do something about blanking the foglight holes.

My list is never-ending and changes daily, but basically:

Bigger brakes

Other than that, a circle of fix it break it fix it break it fix it, which will be starting very soon.

And lots of tyres i would think!!
