Mintier than a mint thing. Perfect. Do you have a link to the bolts please dude?

Double :( :(

Parked outside The Vape Inn Saturday pm.

Yum. That looks properly lush mate. Agree the rears need to come in a bit but otherwise it's spot on!

That table is art. You should offer commissions!

Nice photo of her at yesterday's meet.

They're going to look stunning. I'd get a coat of gtechniq c5 or similar on the and you're done through the winter.

Thanks gents :D I'll start exhaust shopping after xmas. Plenty of research to do.

Think I have the excuse for a new exhaust too as mine managed to almost lose the bolts between cat and centre section. Mrs coops has been told that a new system is necessary...

Just a car/detailing/social thing at clean + shiny. There'll be others next year.

All cleaned up ready for a breakfast/car/detailing meet tomorrow

Alternator fitted. Car working. Andy isn't grumpy any more. The End.

Up & down day yesterday. Replacement alternator picked up earlier so halfway to sorted :) Steve, the head unit is radio and iPod/phone only, no cd function. Works fine for me and sound quality is night and day better too.

Gave her a wash and tucked her away. Just because she's poorly she needn't be filthy lol. Cleaned more bits nobody will ever see too... Secondhand alternator sourced too so smiling again :)

Not feeling it today. This was always a cheap fun car and a dead alternator might just kill it off - I can't do it myself and a garage bill isn't in the budget.

Now that's funny. In other news, alternator is definitely buggered. There goes the budget :(

Nope. That was last month.

Only started a few days ago. Got worse today - smell is a combination of boiling coolant (it isn't - bottle full and no leaks) and burning rubber. I also have a whining noise which rises and falls with revs. Alternator??

Few bits done today. - new boot carpet - replaced side lights and mains with led and rainbow bulbs (not sure about the mains but at least the nasty yellow bulbs are in the bin) - replaced head unit with a £37 Pioneer and while basic it works fine and I can listen to my old fart music.

Excellent project. Wouldn't mind details of your painter as I need a few bits doing.

Bulbs ordered. You should be on commission! Loving the updates - one of my favourite cars on here.

Upton Grey to Odiham - know it well mate if It's the one that passes through Up Nately.

Gutted mate. At least you're ok. The routes from here to Goodwood are epic but I can imagine tricky on a cold and damp day - where did this happen?

Not bad at all!!

Serum Light and exo.

More cleaning. Mostly bits nobody will ever see... I'm just enjoying this car lots and refreshing stuff as and when. Tailgate struts are next.

Looks bloody lovely that. And I've ordered a boot mat too as mine's horrid - thanks for the link.

I drive around the block after drying - usually gets rid of most of the water left standing. My Octavia is a different matter as the mirrors still hold water 24 hours and more after washing!!

Thanks chap. This is pretty horrific but it's correcting surprisingly easily.

Back at clean and shiny helping with an M3 repainted in solid black and rather destroyed... Still some marks to chase out and refining before coating but a reasonable improvement.
