What have you done to your car today?

Nice job there mate, they do look an eye sore, good job you can only see them from underneath.

Finally pulled my finger out after 5 months of it laying around in the shop, and fitted the carbon aero diffuser 8)

Proper pics tomorrow when the sun’s out

This looks awesome. More pics please

MOT day today.

However much you try to ensure your car will get through, it’s always a worry that you’ve missed something or the tester is having a bad day.

Passed with no advisories, happy days

Unusual way of testing, normally the car is horizontal.

But it is a damn good way to test the brakes. And the tires.

Don’t be silly, that’s what the exhaust hanger is for.

Another spotless MOT today. That’s two in two days, I’m well chuffed.

Especially as this car could be best described as in “barn find” condition when I bought it in the Spring.

Well that was more of a b*****d to do than I was expecting!!

You forgot to mention that the tester had a full head of hair when he started.

Oh I hear you, just went through those little buggers a few weeks back, not designed to be removed!

Drove it a bit and fixed the speaker on the passenger side.
Wife said ' when you hit that pothole, the speaker behind me started working'
Now, that was an easy fix, especially when I don't really listen to the rubbish sound system in the car, but if it stops working again, I know how to fix it

Got a lot done this weekend.
First off was finishing the shock rebuild. Bilstein B4s nicely fitted! (pics aren't in order).
Thanks to @enuff_zed and @bigwinn for all their help in this.
Although it does appear they ride height is sitting a little higher than previously. Perhaps this is normal? Don't know.

Anyways also went ahead and replaced the rubber around the windshield as that was knackered. And then also new badges. I know there's a divide between OE roundel colours but I like these black and white ones. The old ones were cheap Chinese knock offs that the previous owner had and they'd completely faded.

50th anniversary badge.

Said goodbye to this one


Cheered myself up by giving this one a polish and some shiny wheels.

What are they? Burr puzzle?

 

[grannyknot]

It's #21 on the diagram, attaches the top upper corner of the front bumper cover to the front edge of the fender.
Don't ever break them, you will regret it.

 

[Umfaan]

Hehee…you are so right :roll:

Sorry to see you left the coupe club Zedebee but new wheels looking on the roadster!
