Sad but true.. my front bumper is in a right state. Bought Jonff's to get painted and fitted eventually. ​

So many pics.. With the Sunflower finally back on the raod, here's a vid f0xy kindly shot toda. He just thew a few clips together as he was testing some new gear.

No I'll be at LeMans, and boosting around Europe with a few mates.

Busy few days, whacked the new engine loom and and we were away... f0xy picked up a new GoPro today, so we went about getting some vids as there wasn't much better to do with a Sunday afternoon. Bit of hero action..

^^ love how Ph1 bumpers always line up so well. ​

Yeah, so this.

So.. The car is been sat still on the drive whilst I've been hunting down Ph1 Engine and Interior looms. Bit of a nightmare as I was offered all sorts, from Ph2 looms to Ph1 looms with broken wires and connectors. Finally happened by someone breaking a Ph1, and got myself the Engine loom, ECU...

Regardless of fault, lack of talent or anything else... that guy must be in the depths of misery right now. I'd be so ashamed if that was me.

ah righ, see what you man. "nothing wrong with it" - yet clearly states it is in piss poor condition.

It's a Zetec-S, fun little car, tragic styling by that owner. They look quite respectable in standard form, and Colarado red is relatively rare for them.

Give the interior a good clean. One thing I noticed over winter on the sunflower whilst it was sat over winter was mould on the seats. I ended up having to remove all the seats and give them a thorough clean, as well as the rest of the interior. Mould is easy enough to get rid of, but it's...

Right, electrical issues look like they'll be next to impossible to diagnose so going to have to get my hands on an engine and interior loom in mint condition. If anyone out there is breaking a ph1 with looms in good condition please let me know...

That looks very clean, like it. Also managed to get mine back on the open road.

perfect roads for running the engine in, lovely up there. Reminded me of Ireland.

This is up near Buxton/Derbyshire area, not exactly sure where as I just stopped where it was quiet. Fingers crossed. Aside from the electrical issues which are being teased out one by one the car pretty much flawless all day.

I'm just going to eat chocolate pretzels until the pain goes away. This car literally hates me.

erm.. just a pick of the top of the wheel/arch looking towards the front of the car. Just so I can get an idea of how flush the wheels sit.

I could do with some rear spacers, do you have a shot of how the rear wheel looks in the arch?

Up early, and off to get the car MOT'd. Weird driving it again, and was hard to get used to the dimensions again. Keeping the engine under load in order to run it in correctly, isn't all that easy, but think I got the hang of it. Running sweet as a nut, so good work f0xy! Passed it's MOT, but...

Car is kept on my drive, and there is no chance I'm getting the peasant wagon to work again.

For some reason the WA postcode is considered terrible for insurance claims.

Cheers Neil, just awaiting my renewal and then I'll probably be back in touch. Brentacre have told me it'll be with me in a few days.

Gave Sky Insurance another go, but no luck again this year. Due to my postcode they were coming back with very high quotes. Brentacre: Awaiting renewal Greenlight: £674.18 (fully comp) Adrian Flux: 'Couldn't provide a competitive quote' Sky Insurance: ~£2,600 (underwriter doesn't like my...

Actually... just realised we're at Silverstone this weekend, so will probably take a bit longer to get the engine run in. Don't think 500 miles per day is possible lol Set about putting all the interior back together yesterday, was a bit of a headache considering it has been nearly a year since...

I didn't realise that, will be sure to give it a go. Got a few other companies to try yet. ah cheers, will give that a read and try some of the others. Me too, always go back and forth with quotes. A few years ago I got my renewal down by £500 just for getting a better quote from another...

Quick update on this... renewal time is due again in less than a month. 4 years no claims this time around. Bit of a turnaround since last year, with greenlight coming in with a fantastic quote, not had a chance to try some of the other usual suspects yet. Brentacre: Awaiting renewal...

I'll get close haha

oh I see.. well looks like it'd be a no go then. The wheels I want come in two avaialble offsets 13 and 20, but rarely see any for sale.

hmm.. that's a non-sport too.

That's what worries me, I don't want some stupid poke, I wouldn't mind them being flush.
