Due to funds the Engine Bay will have to wait a while.
Will be buying a 1.4 engine cover rather then a 1.6 one, as it's slightly different and I think will look better.
Defiantly getting the Rocker Cover powder coated, as well as having a number of parts dipped, thanks to some contacts, I think it's gonna be a case of everyone getting as much done at one go to share the cost, situation

DONE – This was on my ‘List of Things to Do; The Final Touches’ but due to sucky circumstances ended up having to do it sooner rather then later
So I didn't complete the list *boo*
But at least I got quite a bit done
I'm hoping thatll be it for a while and I can concentrate on paying my credit card back, and getting some fun things done on the car..... Tho my fancy goldfish need a new tank, and my iPhone no longer works as a phone, so a few other things may have to come first for a bit
As some of you will already know, he is getting SORN for a few weeks.
My insurance runs out on the 15th of this month and I cant afford to start a new policy and I don't want to stay with my current insurers.
Plus due to my wingmirror fiasco 2 years of my NCB is being held hostage for 3 months, as it takes this long for a claim to be shut down....even tho I didn't claim.
So technically I only have 2 years no claims until the 2nd March.
It's my birthday on the 1st of March so I'm going to try and make it my aim to get him back on the road fully within the first week of the month - A birthday present to myself lol
.....and as for a 11th birthday present for GerTI .....
Swappsies with a mate who had them lying around.
I only got my current set of RXIIs as a winter set so didn't care much for the condition.
But I spotted these in the corner of a mates unit and fell in love.
They are mint condition, just need to be put back together and have the dust cleaned off them.
The colour is gorgeous and theres something about the sparkliness I love. They should look amazing in proper natural light with the sun shining on them
