I didn't even realise you could get a CS bodywork protector!

New out a week or so ago. It didn't feel normal when I stopped getting a parcel a day. So I ordered one. Lol! It's a decent bit of kit though, non slip stuff on one side so 'sticks' to he bodywork.

You dont need to paint copper brakes lines to protect them CUB, will take years and years to corrode anyway.
Not that it will do any harm if you do paint it of course.

Cracking update! Seriously nice work. How's the PMS feel now?

I have to go to Frimley at some point in the next week or two so I may pop by if that suits? If I could be no late and you're WFH I'll even give you a hand cleaning it.

PMS feels awesome. Really, really smooth but very mechanical, which I like. Pop over whenever bud, I'm unlikely to be working from home for the next 5 weeks, we got downselected for 4 major bids on Friday and I'm supposed to be managing all of them. Busy busy times ahead :) We can just clean it in the dark. Lol.

Mate, it looks absolutely superb, great work by Budgie, and everyone else who's contributed. Any chance you can convert the yellow in the bay to either white or black, it's really setting my OCD off.

Also, stop taking pictures with a wet fish ;)

I was looking at the yellow, although quite like it as a 'stand out' bit. I have a spare, so shall see what it comes up like black. And yes, I need a DSLR although my hands were covered in oil / grease so I wouldn't have used it either way.

Don't know what it is about starter motors..... The only time I've had one fail is when refitting the engine and it's happened twice :(

Good work mate look forward to seeing it round track this year!

Thanks bud, I am, but probably not until next year. Want to enjoy it a bit, then probably do it early next year before the summer. :)

I saw the one for sale. Sadly, I'm currently broke!

Ha ha, yep! Problem is, with the engine out you can see the state of everything else and so I thought it best to change things as it would be easier with the engine out. Basically had a full suspension refresh, brake pads and brake lines and a load of other stuff on top of the engine! If a jobs worth doing, it's worth doing properly :)

Great progress. Love this car.

I really think you need to have you inlet manifold in white too though. Looks slightly odd with the white underneath and then black on top. Dark pictures don't help but it just doesn't seem to work that well. May have been different if the colours were the other way round.

If you're going for white then get it all white I say. Or something slightly lighter in colour for the inlets Flame Red?

I'm looking forward to it already, hopefully get a decent group of us again. I've booked a Travelodge nearby and am heading up the night before with a mate.

I told you to have faith ;) It will all be grey in a week or so. Thanks for the starter motor offer, may need to take you up on it if Mikes spare doesn't work.
