Project Aero

Rear wing back on- re secured the aero side skirt too

That’s all bodywork done now- just repainting the drivers mirror

Replaced the brake discs, pads and sensors at the back too

Just the drop links and arb bushes to sort and we are nearing the end

But seriously Stuart, instead of the buy/fix/sell merry-go-round, you must have learned enough now to help others instead?

Drive is always open and I have done some remote support
 
Well I'm saying it very quietly, but we are nearing completion. Gave it a proper wash to see all issues and imperfections and ready for a machine polish next week

I really really like this car and the aero kit has grown on me, as have the black 107's (all subject to personal taste eh)

The to do list is now under ten things!!!

It's looking good already. :thumbsup:

That will be a great car for someone by the time you have finished- unless you decide to keep it!
 
A few more updates- probably seen on other threads

Airbag light fixed- simple case of operator error!
Sorted some paint issues and lacquer peel
Replaced the starter motor which was more difficult (painful and scratchy) than the 2.2 I did before- but now starts on the button as opposed to labouring


Final list is now:

Rear drop links
Rear ARB bushes
Treat rear rusty areas noted on MOT
Fit new handbrake shoes
Re grease steering rack

Then it’s going to get listed for sale!

Depending on which one sells first dictates which one stays… so very torn!

Just know you're looking forward to those. :rofl:

No contest for me, keep the black one.

Yeah my least favourite jobs

I think I concur- it’s getting a work run tomorrow on the back road
 
If you weren't too bothered about manual/auto I'd keep the Grey one for the full aero kit and high spec!

Anyway good luck getting the last jobs done. :thumbsup:
 
News just in

Its official- the job I categorically hate most on an E85 is changing the rear ARB bushes and drop links

Especially in a storm

But- it clearly needed doing
