Time for another entry, Many more parts have arrived and the pile of bits to fit is rather large However it will all be fitted soon just need to confirm a space to use so we can get the engine out and install it all. To say im looking forward to it is an understatement so looking forward to how the car is going to change and get even better again!
So first up, i got my wheels and nuts fitted last week so happy with these they do make the car as a whole. I will get a picture of the whole car when its clean and ready for a photo, i must say im very impressed with the wheel nuts aswell they are from demon tweeks and they seemed to be the only nuts around i could find that i needed which was they had to be gold, had to have a locking tool and had to be steel. I dont think ive seen anyone using these before but im happy to say if anyone is looking for nuts that need to meet the same criteria as i did then go for them, they do them in green to! The quality is great, no marks made when fitting.
Next up is the LED kit Chris (cs2000) has recently compiled, Ive been on the lookout for LEDs ever since i got the car but never knew which ones to go for so when Chrs decided to do a kit using the best available i jumped at the 1st set Got them fitted this evening, Im saving the front sidelight ones for when the headlights come out when the engines being done so much easier, also i didnt opt for the vanity mirror lights as i like the as they are. For the money i dont think Chris' kit can be beaten especially when it comes with a plastic pry tool and instructions! Cheers Chris

Once this is all on the car is pretty much complete, I know its already a properly capable car but the thought of driving it properly when everything new is on and bedded in is getting me SO excited
So as it stands the next time i update this it should all be fitted, cannot wait!
Cheers for tuning in all
