proper hijacking my build thread here :P haha!
well.. i haven't updated this in a while! so here goes.
i've been quite busy over the last week though
i had last week off work, so spent a lot of time clearing out the garage, so that i could get the car in there to work on.
i bought a load of new bits for her, and thought id share my progress with you lot
firstly.. a full service kit, very cheap off ebay, and a new sump plug, as my current one was pretty much welded to the sump! :/ and my sump guard has been destroyed, exposing the sump plug completely. you can see the damage in the picture caught it just in time i think!!
the new sump plug already looks like this...
thats after 2 days of not having my sump guard on. will be back on tonight though
so fully serviced the car, and also got the sump guard double plated, which should last a bit longer, possibly 2 months if i'm lucky! something to keep an eye on though.
this is the old sump plug... RIP dude
i got a new passenger airvent, as the painted ones in my car looked bad! very bad, so had to get rid of them. will buy a driverside one at somepoint soon!
my centre console still isn't complete but i'm not really in any rush, as its a free job, so dont want to rush the lad.
I bought some gold patterned fabric to do my gear and handbrake gaiters. got my brothers wife on the case now so hopefully they should turn out alright!
a bit crazy, but i dont care
replaced the amber sidelights with brighter ones, as they were very dull, and couldn't be seen clearly.
moved the battery to the boot, and tidied up the engine bay quite a bit. need a small filter to go on. this will tidy up the driverside more.
sub fitted into the suitcase, and amp fitted into the boot. all installed and working fine not after amazing sound quality, but its not too bad really.
i've gone through another driveshaft, so having to raise the engine a bit. i dont know how much higher, or how to do this yet. but the driveshaft is catching on the gearbox. i will see what i can do first.
random pic from work..
oh, and i fully washed, polished and waxed the car too!
enjoyed the great british weather! roof down for the full weekend
then ended up in Whitby, so took a couple of pics
and thats it for now
obviously, lots more planned!
current have no rear seats/doorcards in, because i'm getting the rear cards retrimmed.
will update once i get some more work doneInstagram - marcuscreek ---- facebook - /cusbum

went to a local meet in Hartlepool , called 'The Parmo Wrap Meet'. and if you've never had a parmo.. youre missing out. Considering it was only organised for a week prior, it was a good turn out, over 30 cars.
got a quick snap taken.
this is one from Fueled Society too.
oh, and im adding more camber to the back and lowering it a bit more tonight. see how that one turns outInstagram - marcuscreek ---- facebook - /cusbum
