Paint it in that stuff that turns the metal rat look scene w*nker rusty, that'll make him explode!

F*cking size of the engine in that Escort!

You mean I get to sit on my arse and supervise while you slave away? Sounds good to me.

Now you're talking.

BRIGHT F*CKING RED!!!

Oh dear God no! That's f*cking horrible!

Andy wouldn't let you back in his garage if you made a sh*t job of the paint.

This guy.......this guy knows!

I'm not looking forward to getting beaten by an oil burner at Santa Pod.

Depends on your budget, the JC5 130 I bought was £275 and 10k miles newer than my old one, it's done a track day and 2 drag days where it's been subjected to burnouts and 7k rpm gear changes, i've hammered it as much as you can and it's still going strong 3 years later and that's on a daily driver.

Yeah it's not easy, I wouldn't be able to do it on my own, luckily through CS i've made mates that could easily do it and would come over and help me, I bought a new clutch to go in mine when I changed it. If you got yours rebuilt, you'd still have to pay for it to be removed, then refitted, on...

Found the colour you should paint it.

Ok mate, shouldn't take too long to pull it apart, as long as every nut and bolt isn't rusted to sh*t.

You'll have to pick a colour before the engine goes in, unless you're painting the engine bay a different colour? Although knowing you you'll build the thing, get it working, tune it just right, then pull the engine out to paint the thing.

I said NATO green to begin with, but it's not 'look at me' enough for him. :rasp: So i'd manage to convince him to go with Pillar box red with black wheels and accents, signal yellow's too close to liquid yellow for my liking.

That's not too bad then, good job you work at a body shop, any of the window seals perished?

Where's the rust then, sills and rear arches?

What you on about Porsche signal yellow, I thought we were going with Hot Rod red? Looks like it came out of a lake. lol

Yeah that doesn't sound good at all, there's a JC5 in the for sale section for £250. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?756948-Jc5-gearbox-orange-samcos-rs-inlet-and-smooth-boot&p=10459154#post10459154 I've been using a JC5 130 I got at a breakers yard for the past 3 years.

What? I listen, I just don't remember.

I'm sure you mentioned getting rid of it when you went on your selling frenzy, also I thought you lost the workshop space? I take it it's in Sams garage?

I thought you'd sold this thing, nice to see it coming along mate.

I don't get why the Drive network have gone the pay to view route, I used to watch all their vids, now I don't watch any, whereas Finnegan and Freiburger mentioning sponsors and the brand names of the parts they're using doesn't bother me in the slightest. I think the big difference is that...

Petrolisious Dirt Everyday (Motortrend channel)

Chris Harris is pay to view, whereas this is totally free! I know which i'd rather watch, I wonder why they're not doing Hot Rod Unlimited this year?

Best episode ever! Not only is it 46 minutes long rather than the normal 20, but they bring out the General Mayhem Charger again, by far the best sounding car in the universe ever!

That red LED is in all of them, it flashes when the car's locked, because there's nothing like a tiny blinking light to sh*t the car thieves up.

Shopping sliding into the dog, no back seats and a massive Alsation means he's not going anywhere, the shopping on the other hand ends up all over the place, so I used to tie the carrier bags to the strut brace, worked a treat.

It did stop the shopping from sliding into the dog, so it wasn't completely useless. The only way to firm the back up on these is the Whiteline ARB kit.

I was convinced my rear OMP strut brace improved the handling, took it off the other week to fit in a load of camping stuff, haven't put it back on, turns out it does f*ck all.
