Swompy

Got all my car cleaning stuff out earlier to see how much of each I had left and what I needed to get. Ready for a 2 day cleaning fest later on this week in preparation for the national day. Only things missing from the pic is my pressure washer. Hi, my names Jake and I have a car cleaning problem! [ATTACH=CONFIG]62573[/ATTACH]

That's what i wonder too, but unfortunately people don't use their garages for cars any more. I bought a house on a brand new estate and most of the houses have a garage but I haven't seen a single person use theirs for the car other than me.

Unfortunately its shared :( luckily its just big enough for the corrado to fit in but I've gone from a garage where I could have both doors on the car wide open whilst it was inside, to one where I have to slither in a small slit to get into the car, and with my gut its not easy. But I do have the better side of the two garages as its at the bottom of my garden and I can get into it via a door which is handy.

Done the first bit of DIY since moving into my new house, which just so happened to be work on the garage. Dont have any power in there unfortunately and because where the entrance to the garage is situated it is very dark round there at night. I bought a solar powered security light just put ay nasty people off. Also started painting the garage floor to stop the concrete dust getting every where. Spent at least an hour sweeping out all the dust and must of got a least a kg of dust. First coat is down. Will take some pics once the second coat is down. [ATTACH=CONFIG]62565[/ATTACH]

Ben, we will probably be with you at around 8.15-8.30 as we are meeting Andy at 8

Oh right which brake lines did yo replace again? Mine is a running a de-cat and a Jetex 2 box exhaust system. It is a tad raspy but not too much, but under load down low in the revs it has the characteristic vr6 burble. I do like how quiet it runs on idle and when your cruising along, yet when you give it the beans you sings :D

Its growing on me now, just a shame it doesn't sound the same inside the car as it does outside. Like the 12v did. Its running pretty well now Just a few little things to sort out but all in good time. Its only used on weekends/good weather now which is what I want, so I'm not putting to many unnecessary miles on her. Will hopefully be getting the inside finished off with the Porsche seats this week. Then it will just be a case of collecting all the bits I need to give the underside a good clean up and treat and rust I fin. So completely strip the underside, new brake lines ect. But that wont be till after the tax has run out in 6 months time.

Pic I took today at paint balling, thought it was a good shot. [ATTACH=CONFIG]62485[/ATTACH]

Bump, Need to sell it to fund my next project/daily driver :D

So who going from/through this neck of the woods to the national day? I know me and Cazza are planning a mini convoy over but who wants to join us? Need to sort out a route there, what way would you guys say is best over route Birdlip towards Swindon then M4 or straight down the M5 then onto the M4?

Still haven't experienced in a ride VRT, I need to get that sorted :(

Ever one has a pm on its way

Estates are cool, I should be getting a mk3 estate to replace the metro. Nothing to do with getting old!

Nice one Jim :D

I thought a stage 4 would of given more power than 200bhp?
