Got my ass to the DVLA for my 12 months of freeness. It only cost me 60p for parking and an hour and half of my life with some of the most degenerate people in existence! (I fitted right in)

Since then I have broken down a couple of times with ignition issues and ran out of fuel once. (oops!)

Hopefully these problems should be bottomed this week for MITP. Also got the get the thing setup right as its not running at its best.

Time for a thorough polishing up this week.

If the weather is good one day I may pop over to Steve's in it for a quick photo session if he is up for it.

not to hand but i am going into the same garage to pick up my golf tomorrow i can get it for you then. it is water based paint mind not celly.

should also add (and blow the trumpet) that the finish you see there is direct from the gun and it has not been G3'd or buffed !

I don't have the kit to G3 it or machine buff it but I have t-cut off a few marks and am currently in the process of polishing and cleaning up for this weekend.

Looks shiny *wink*

BTW Richie I will email you a link to a ZIP with a load of pictures in when I get time to upload it.

Also if i get time I will bob over to Steve's in it. Might be after this weekend though.

Well baptism of fire this weekend. I hadn't driven the car for more than 10 miles at a time. Took it to MITP this weekend 120miles each way and didn't miss a beat. Unfortunately nobody bought the car. Had a bit of interest though.

Had an email from the new owner the other day, it seems he is wanting to give her the turbo engine treament.

So I've pointed him here and to Turbo_Phil's website.

Apparently he's fitted a roll-cage to it and has some buckets seats to go in.

He's bought an old standard turbo engine with all the ancilleries and a rebuild short engine with 10cc omega's in so thats a good start.

James the current owner dropped me a line the other day. He's started on the turbo conversion.

So far he has a rebuilt lump with:-
+20 Forged Omega's
Avonbar PH2
Modded MED Crank
Rebuilt Hybrid T3

He's still on the lookout for a modded head, sc box, sc drops etc.
