Made a stupid maistake of forgetting to colour code the bloody engine mount!! Also didn't use the gearbox I wanted to use (valver jb3) which meant using the mk2 gearbox mount/ battery tray which I didn't get powder coated.
Will have to take it off after the track day and paint in

Tyres being fitted
Fitted the rear glass by myself quite chuffed. Then spoiler on.
Scuttle and wipers on the windscreen
Engine bay with half the scuttle intake
Front bumper with yellow fogs! Love it!
Old bumper donating its splitter
New bumper with splitter on the car
And the not so great panel gap between the headlight and wing
Will have to hammer that into place!

God damn that looks amazing. Cracking work.
Today i fitted the bonnet badge ph1 baby!, and grill and a play under the bonnet because the battery light was on. Went away after i too it for a little drive.
Back seats are in and changed the front seats runners for ones that have black plastics.
Also found a chip in the paint on the arch where my sister clipped it with some gardening equipment. Annoyed but its going to happen so better get used to it tbh.

You have a lovely car, your attention to detail looks superb!

New as in pressed plates? Nah not really, happy with the plain standard look.
Today I....
Bought lots of velcro!
Used it to fit my new rear number plate
Fitted the front door handles so I can open the door easier till I sort out my little mishap.
And was going to fit the retro kick plates till i saw how scratched they were so going to polish them before fitting.
Also my front badge fell off so ordered a new one.
Scratchy kickplates

Oh that is stunning!! Amazing job on everything!
Today I.....
Fitted my brand new phase 1 bonnet badge.
Now have music in my car thanks to fitting 4 speakers. (1 each door and 2 in the dash)
Have a door card on the passenger side with no leather card yet though
Can lock the car after finding my key!!
Windows go up and down safely after fitting the plastic retainer things to hold it onto the motor.
Have a outside temperature gauge after fiddling with the wires
Thats it for now more tomorrow

Bedford done. Anglesey next!
Car performed lovely on track. The AD08's didn't burn off or anything. Perfect tyre if you wanna rock up to a track and drive back home with no tyre change.
Brakes were good as usual with the CL5 pads in.
Changed the brakes back to normal.
Will give it a oil change and spark plugs as it had a misfire every so often and I had realised I haven't changed them since I got the engine haha
Not going to change anything for anglesey tbh. Balance is perfect for what i want. May make the camber an even 1.5 both sides with 0.2 toe out.

Copied and pasted from another forum so all a bit out of date.

After Anglesey track day the engine blew up. Managed over 200k miles!!! So I was chuffed it made it that far tbh.
Head and block seperated
Drilled many sumps bolts off the c***s!
Hosed the swarf off so it doesn't fall into the engine.
Sump off
undoing tings!
Pistons!
oh no metal in sump!
Main ends off
how a bigend is suppose to look like.
well theres your problem!
mainend shells
back from machining
Test fitted as the f****ed bigend runs a Mercedes bearing!!
Anyone spotted the problem in the last picture. Good thing I checked everything twice
.
Also never build a engine hung over! Snapped a oil ring and apparently I had the last 4 in the uk and theres none in belgium so a volvo one maybe suitable!
