Lol notes as in money right? Cause, if you've enough money for this sorta thing, you can do it pretty easily lol.


j/k :P But really, it is quite expensive. I've calculated it'll be about 1500 gbp for al lthe parts im gonna need. Fairly adds up once you start pricing stuff. Doesnt seem like a lot but it is. Might be able to get a brand spanking new turbo with actuator for about 200 quid. Internal wastegate with a t3 exhaust flange. Yummy.

Lol had a dream about changing my headlights last night. Think it's about time i did. And got some of those silver bulbs for the indicators so they dont look orange.

Rightio. More updates. Kinda a bitta everything.


Tidied up a lotta the wiring and done the new earths with some 8AWG wire.

Got the engine harness tidied,
Image


Replaced the old earth from the alternator to the strut top,
Image

With the new wire.
Image

Stuck a few more earths on.
One from the engine to the chassis.
Image
Image

And one from the negative ont he battery to the other strut top.
Image


Once they were done i jumped into the car for a sit down as my back was broke from leaning over the car doing the earths, so, started tiding my dash with some insulating tape.
Image

Once that was done i started refitting the dash instruments all back on.

Digital dash :)


Haha, have a look at our conference room aswell :P
Image

Absolutly brilliant.

Was gonna post this as a sneak peak at my wheels,
Image


Butttt, i cant resist, here's one of the fanblades, all ready to paint.
Image




Today i started o my new grill. Gonna go for something clean instead of the mesh to see what it looks like. If it looks crap, i'll just stick the mesh back in.

Took the grill apart,
Image

And cut the centre Daewoo Badge outta it.

Image



What I plan to do, is to continue the middle line that's cut, on around so that it's just 3 lines along the grill and no badge.
Image
Image

Can kind see the idea here,
Image



Thats about everything so far anyway. Need some fiberglass and isopon to finish the grill :(

Money hasnt allowed me too yet :P

Getting a grant from uni, gonna book my test very very soon, so shall let yas know what happens.


As for the car. It's pretty much finished, gonna jsut stick the mesh grill back in place, on the new surround thats the same colour as the new car. Apart from that, all i need is my fanblades painted and rubbed down a wee bit more, and my steering alligned. Then it's pretty much finished. Just been enjoying myself lately instead of pouring 100% of my money into the car. A lotta my friends are moving away and stuff, so have been out a good load with them, making the best of it while they're here.
