they said (hopefully, fingers and toes crossed) that it should be ready for next weekend, they have still to paint the doors, trims etc and put the beast back together!
first pic is a comparison between how it was and how it is now.

iceburg silver. im having my 16v sprayed in this colour, the guy said the paintcode for iceburg is 640, but he also said the plate on my car (95 1.8 16v) also had the paintcode 640? any suggestions as to why they are the same number?
yeah, lou, think you should ditch that lower spoiler, bumper is mint though, i can tell peeps this fiesta is pretty quick, kept just ahead of my 16v, but it was uphill!
is water getting in? usually gets into the console bit and screws up the electrics in there, my alarm was playing up a bit, took the console bit out and gave it a good clean, encrusted with crap. still not 100% perfect but better than it was.
yep! i put a small amp in for my mate and it just wouldnt work! after about an hour of trying, i put the earth cable to a different point and it came straight on!!
lol, sorry bambam, wasnt on purpose, didnt get a pic of that ferrari but it sounded nice as he booted it down the road! the locals sure do like showing off their cars round there!
i remember when i first got my 16v my mate came round and said "before you say anything i beat a valver on the way to work in my gsi this morning" i couldnt stop laughing, specially when he continued to tell me he out run a bmw 328 as well!!
think we have done this before, but here goes..
off the clock at 100 in my 1 litre micra,
115mph in my 1,4 rt
140 mph in the 16v
all indicated at the speedo and on pretty level roads.
i got some pics of the day, havent uploaded them yet. i thought the day was quite good, but after a couple of races it gets a bit boring watching cars going round the track. had a walk round the garages which was pretty cool, didnt see Vicky Butler though! damn! left just as the heavens were...
griff! i have mentioned renault sutton park before, i was looking to buy an rt, went in sat down and talked to the bloke, he said he wouldnt take my part ex (mk1 micra) and wouldnt give me finance, seemed totally uninterested in helping at all, then he spotted a guy in a suit with a briefcase...
