Looks stunning. It seems it has been the time for polishing PH1's recently

WOW, I have only just seen this thread. This car has changed significantly since I last saw it... but that was a long long time ago and it was a showroom condition completely standard valver...

UPDATE: Last week I got across to Cooksport for the geo/suspension set-up. It is a pretty good drive up across the mendips so would provide quite a good comparison journey out and back. I had a good chat with the guys there regarding what I was using the car for and how I would like it set-up...

I missed these replies, apologies i have had a lot on. Nope no PAS at all, and in all honesty I can't see what the fuss is all about... It is Bristol Airport, but not the main entrance. I have already been for several runs across the Mendips so certainly making use of the close proximity to...

Not really an update as such... I planned to go out for a drive over the weekend and by the time I got around to it it was raining. Now initially I will admit I didn't really want to take it out in the rain, stupid huh, but then I reconsidered it and thought it was a pretty good idea. I need to...

A fair few people comment on the colour. Really happy I chose it, its not super lairy but its different enough. Again thanks for the kind words

I was going to say I think the splitter looks a lot better in person, but actually the splitter and bumper do. But I get they are not everybody's cuppa. The splitter I think is quite subtle, a lot more than some that stick out miles and lets face it probably don't do much for aero. On the note...

NOW fully road legal, taxed, MOT'd and Insured...

UPDATE: Saturday was MOT day, I was awake early and left the house at 7.30am to get the car to the garage for 8am. I reached the garage bang on time to meet the garage owners who had just finished dropping a new engine into their race car that had got to them the night before from Kent. They...

UPDATE: (all be it a very small one) I had some Helitape that I bought a long time ago and as I have minty fresh paint why would I not add a little protection before it gets used. I made up some masking tape templates and cut out the corresponding small helitape patches. I only wanted to...

UPDATE: The cars is also set to be insured in preparation for the MOT. I done a lot of research and found Reis Motorsport to be a good option. This proved to be even better when I realised I could put our van on the insurance with them as a support vehicle too. Perfect. The car will be fully...

UPDATE: The countdown begins to the MOT on Saturday with me being a little bit concerned about it but not with not much more I can do, it is in their hands. There were some obvious things to do, like fit proper number plates. I had previously made up a carbon rear track number plate but I...

The airbox and helmet are stunning mate, Looks like some really good upgrades recently and good to hear it has come together really well.

As I am not of the younger generation I do not understand your acronyms. *picks up mic and hands it back for another try 😜

@Daniel will get dizzy going that far north, he struggled when we moved the green car

You'll need a new track friend soon. ;)

So on my list of concerns and things to address at the moment is: Full size front plate (need to fit plates) No visible Vin number (take v5 doc) No Side repeaters No Speedo (hopefully can use phone app and mount)

Ah not at all mate, don’t worry

Not sure how ‘friendly’ they are yet, but they do run a race team, hence me speaking to them in the first place. 👍

Vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1986 must be fitted with one side repeater indicator on each side. Instead of a separate lamp, the side repeater might be part of the front direction indicator if it includes a wraparound lens. Lamps incorporating a side repeater are marked either with an...

UPDATE: MOT IS BOOKED. Genuinely already nervous. From viewing the thread anyone got any suggestions on things I may need to worry about?

Cheers mate, it is tough when stuff like that happens, but each time I try and take something from it, I learn more and I know the car that much better each time I have to sort it.

E55 AMG The man said, then the man did. Really appreciate your business Ant. Really enjoyed creating the E55, such a stunning car.

UPDATE: So more of a tarting up update as I think I am genuinely running out of things to do for the MOT, or might even be done. Despite what I have just said above about an MOT I don't really want to run side repeaters. The loom was not made for them and I don't want to chop into it more...

UPDATE: In a push to get the car potentially MOT'd at/near the end of the month I am trying to get through jobs as and when time allows. So, continuing on from the Dash/ECU fuel saga I think I am almost there. I have had to do/redo and redo again some of the wiring which takes a fair bit of...

Doing lots of the bits that I need to do on mine, must be please to be finishing things off.

Just caught up on this, had not seen a lot of the updates. Really progressing, good to see. Sounds like it has been frustrating though.

I reckon for sure. I have the original linkage removed obviously, I think that alone weighs double the ally plate I have used

UPDATE (cont): The wiper motors loom needed a bit of fettling but was easily re-worked into the plug I already had. This was then clipped and tucked away. A few attempts at alignment of the wiper but it is all good, sweeps really nicely and tucks away too, pretty happy with how tidy the result...
