I've got a nice bit of ply in the boot already!

In anticipation of going onto non-RFTs I bought a 17inch spacesaver on here and the seller had made up a platform for it to sit on to level up with the step in the boot-floor, Velcro to stick to the carpet and a couple of bolts to secure the wheel.

It's about 18 inches square, so I've probably got more wood than you - mine is just a bit less in yer face!

Changed out the broken drivers side cup holder.
Was a hella lot easier then I thought it was going to be.

Today was Mot day, all it needed was a number plate bulb and there was one advisory ball joint with a slight amount of play. The cars almost on 120k miles now so pretty happy width that!

He also removed a tiny ding in my door.

Trade rates, £100 all inf that little lot, and I was very happy.

Looking good Mike.

I wouldn't mind betting it'd cost twice as much down my way.

TBH, most of them seem to charge around £60 per panel to Joe public, but obviously less to trade.

Good work with the dents, rear quarter especially.
Not today but yesterday.

Changed Rocker cover gasket.
Put Official BMW Cupholders in (Found a Z4 with them in at a scrappy, £5 each)
Swapped out Door cards from tatty fabric ones to Leather ones.
Changed Passenger seat from crappy fabric to Leather & Cleaned seat belts (Bitch of a job on this car it seems)
Changed plugs, Oil and filter
Removed inverted dent from bonnet (looked like someone shut the bonnet on something) Christ the bonnet is flimsy.
After spending an hour trying to find the right dolly to use on the dent, cleaned carpets with trusty Vanish carpet cleaner.
After a long and final argument with the motor ripped out the gippo wind deflector, it rattled in the wind and hovered out from the underside of the hood all of the previous owners 5 years worth of fag ash!

Now it smells nice and cancer free, Tomorrow drivers seat get's changed out.

^ looks pretty fancy with those.

One thing I'm looking into is leathering up the knee pads so they don't look like a pc wrist rest.

Weather was just too good to be at work, so I took Mrs G out for spin on the Moors this afternoon. What a cracking day it's been.

Driven it down to Newhaven in the Sunshine, I put the roof up whilst paying for my fuel, carried on for the last 15 miles topless and spotted some gulls above, looks like it’s going to be a lucky trip
