12650759_10153369195328457_805779433_n.jpg

but well worth it running nicely one of the origianl hose clip didnt fit so went and got some ratchet up ones from the local halfords and job was a gooden

bit of a pain getting all the air out the system but runs a beauty now

 

didnt have time to get an after pic as was dark but will take one soon as i still need to fit the cold air feed to as i had enough by the time i was done with the radiator

so it been a bad few months for the 350 :(

the clutch went december took a month to be delivered and at the end of feb the gearbox started making nice bearing rumble sound so £800 later a new box was fitted and that was about it.

 

march came and went with no new parts (i know bad times) then payday came around and i ordered a nice cf cooling panel and i must say it look rather smart and hopefully will give it a little extra go too

so ive had a few goodies turn up lately the first being something thats just a bit of fun cus we all like a laugh

so browsing one night a 150db truck horn pops up £15 well thats a done deal really isnt it

13081999_10153567645428457_1487253898_n.jpg

 

after all my hard work 10-15 mins at best the horn was all fitted and working so i though ide treat her to a wash and she does scrub up nicely when i have the time and effort to do it properly

next thing to turn up was some d1 spec wheel bolts in blue well needless to say they were fitted allmost instantly and they do give it a whole new look deffinatly stand out a bit more tho the wheels were dirty when i fitted them so no photos of them fitted but will take some on the weekend when i give her a clean

bored one afternoon and decide that its gonna be a good idea to start painting the engine bay make it look it brighter and more show worthy so off came the engine cover and a couple days later the finished result was as so

i should also aplogise this will be a longer post as i havent updated this for a month but here goes, so japfest came and went was a pretty good didnt really buy much nothing really caught my eye apart from some fabric as im sure many of you have seen more and more of us are having bride gear gaiters well i see some fabric and fancied it for my room lining too

13282135_10153622975498457_945129725_n.jpg

 

so out came the roof lining ready to be stuck on

13293265_10153622980713457_9312042_n.jpg

 

and while i was at it i though you cant have a grey interior light and a black roof lining so naturally that got carbon wrapped.

13275827_10153622975558457_942475603_n.jpg

 

the roof lining got put back in last night and was just getting dark, so no photos as of yet but will put some up in the next couple of days, also got a few more of the engine plastics painted they are just drying, so when they are dry and clear coated will put some more bay photos up too

13263850_10153625949868457_1172959563922118401_n.jpg

so its coming together and looking good where would the veilside kit be without that sexy wide arch look so on they went

IMG_4651.jpg

 

sadly this side had to come back off as the petrol cap opened fine on test fit but when bolted on..... no so much so that has had some sanding and still in progess.

but on the other hand the front looks sexy :)

i have found that riveting the kit on is best however it gets a bit tense when your doing it and hear a crack :O the arch onto the metal is fine but arch onto the skirts and bumpers need a small amount of reinforcing on the back
