Started piecing the track car back together today. New springs fitted to the KW's and cleaned, treated and painted the arches, thought it looked kinda shiny so thought I'd share!

Started piecing the car back together today. Newly coated springs fitted to the KW's after cleaned, treated and painted arches. Refitted the drivetrain, filled up the box oil and coolant etc and painted and refitted my brake servo.

Couple of snaps from Cadwell yesterday, had a good day and impressed with the car for basically standard (ish) and many many miles. Performed faultlessly!
