Ok, time for update on my progress with my sport. Unfortunately due to a small incident with a cutting tool I was unable to do anything for 5 weeks .
If you are squeamish please do not view this image,

Got some new shoes which I think look really good, very euro look . They are made by Centra in germany. They are 15x7" et 25 and have a 2inch diamond cut lip and black cemters.






Found a small hole in rear OS arch which is being done soon. lost all my power steering fluid which I will sort this week. also replacing all the belts, ht leads, coolant and checking the valve clearance.

Needs lowering and calipers painting aswell.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks. Lowering is the next mod.

looking real good matey, how much you dropping it 60/40 or 80 all round. -80 would look smooth for the stealth, unless you have speed bumps round your manor.
oh and nice cut

Will probally lower 60/40 to start with. See how that looks. Plenty of speed humps in my town .

Thanks for your comments.

Ok, been getting some of the bodywork sorted. Started with the big hole I found in the osr arch. Took it to a mates workshop. Am really pleased with the job he done. Also got it done for mates rates .




Inside shot of the arch before work started .

The master at work.

all the rot nearly removed and the finished job .



Since these pics I have cleaned the body work that is under the kit and spray painted the body and refitted the kit. I replaced any broken clips and gave it a good clean aswell. looks good as new just a few little patches I found in the engine bay to get done next week. Whilst the interior was out I gave that a good clean to.

I also need to sort out my power steering????? I am loosing fluid and think I have located the leak. Will hopefully sort this next week aswell.

Will keep updates coming. Cheers.

[Jhonno]

the arm is nice work.. care to elaborate?

[spook]

[youngster]

Thanks for the comments guys.
As to my arm.......well I was happily finishing and polishing up the rim of one of my original bbs wheels. Using a small cutting disc to machine the scuffed edge of the wheel, slipped then ouch . blood squirted across the wheel and up the wall so shouted by brother to call an ambulance. Lost feelin in my hand so had to go see plastic specialist to see what damage I had done. Luckily missed my tendons and was muscle damage. Few stitches inside and out, bout ten in total and 1 month off work. All sorted now just a scar and dent in my arm. Nice.

BE CAREFUL WHEN USING POWER TOOLS.
