    Well it's been a while. Lots gone on plus now have a baby on the way (about a week left [emoji15]) .

    Got the car in the garage finally [emoji85]

    [​IMG]

    Sorted the loom for the second time and properly this time, also stone chipped some shit-bits

    Getting distracted by wrapping other people's cars [emoji31]

    Fitted up my new Kaminari skirts, look a bit better than that rocket bunny garbage. Just before some smartass says, yes I know, they aren't fitted on 100% yet.

    Wheels look a bit lost in the arches atm or is the car really high

    A quick flick of paint on it so the vinyl will stick [emoji12] starting to get excited but still lots to do.

    Now comes the shitty part. Freaking horrible stuff!!

    [​IMG]

    Since these cars have such crappy seating position I cut out the hump and put the seat to zee floor and on some adjustable rails [emoji108]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Got all that sheeeet flat then started cleaning up

    [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Gave the cage a freshen up too

    [​IMG]

    Bought some goodies from my mate Marek Byba. He makes some sick aero for nissans. Still undecided about the Kouki or the larger Uras bumpers...

    [​IMG]

    Sizing up[​IMG]

    Forgot to note that I got me some rubber flooring for the man-cave, pretty sick!

    [​IMG]

    Also had a few coppers to rub together so I thought I'd get some 18s to try out on the Nissan (poss get that tucked look going with the aero). They were a bit of a bargain so had to be done [emoji109]

    [​IMG]
    Not sure which ones I prefer though [emoji31] Concaved 18 with a small tyre or 17 dish with a chunky

    Tonight's job was to tidy up the scabby boot. First time for all this stuff but all pretty fun. Normally have no patience for this shit

    Also got delivery for some pretty cool stickers and tees

    Pretty sad that I'm eyeing up the spec of people prams at the mo with the little one coming round the corner. This is a beast though! Bloody fits in a boot on the Cooper S too ha![​IMG]

    I agree. The car has been lowered more on the BCs and 25mm spacers are now on too

    It's an option buddy, the dished wheels are smaller mind. This is the problem with having a project that you spend ages on Plus I'm the worlds worst at changing my mind

    Next I think is the timing belt and water pump change, then turbo etc. Will need help or guidance on the timing belt as Im a desk-boy and a bit of a spaz with mechanical things (hammers and grinders I'm great with).

    The vision of burnouts in my street to show the neighbours how cool I am is coming closer

    Cheers bud. Just sizing up spreader plates today for the driver's seat as I've cut out the hump. Killed the grinder though, so it looks like a tool shopping day [emoji35]

    Here's after I got a grinder to it. The centres are only tack welded so it's pretty easy. You also need to give the floor a flatten down with a hammer hence the marks, but the spreader plates and seat will be going on top of it anyways [emoji106]

    It's not so much you won't have the time. I've been finding that I just don't want to leave my misses with the little un on her own just because I want to play with cars. And that was ny thought when I found out as I had an mx5 so I sold that and bought an altezza, it's got plenty of room for all the baby shit you could want and it's damn fun :p
