editionmatt 1 Posted December 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 So i was bored yesterday and decided my bootbuild weighed to much so iv ripped it all out (ud be amazaed how heavy it all was!) and have welded in a bar which il be using for harnesses. iv now dcided to prperly strip out the back, sand it all down and il be spraying it gloss black to give it a nice clean and tidy look. sorry abut the picture, was a bit dark!

editionmatt 1 Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 just fitted a none leaking expansion tank (cheers ben!) and also a new pipe for the fuel reg (cheers craig ) as mine was kaput and basically fell apart in my hands when taking it off. hopefully the tank should sort my coolant problems fingers crossed! i did notice a bit of mayo on the cap along with loss of coolant and oil getting rather low which gets me rather worried but i suppose only time will tell. Also getting major chain rattle from the bay which i urgently need to sort so could be an expensive few months! Anyway new headlights now fitted courtesy of eastwood john which are looking a lot betted than the standards imo! Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 no worries mate if you dont have one already would be worth investing in a blue cap for the expansion cap too as for the chain rattle speak to Tony about that - he love you long time and do you very good price ;) Link to post Share on other sites
editionmatt 1 Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 The blue one is better?? i just chucked mine in the bin, il have to go searching haha yes i spoke to tony a few weeks back and hes happy to do it just got to find the time! also may save a bit more and while things are being fiddled with (ooerr!!) i could maybe do some other bits and bobs at the same time i.e cams!

editionmatt 1 Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Just a quick update, Just fitted my new HID's into the new headlights, i dont have projectors so its not 100% how i want it but im happy. finding somewhere to mount them was a nightmare! and i will probably have to change the position of the ballasts at a later date but it was christmas morning and i wanted them on theyre 6000k so they are a nice blue also the new battery is fitted and running perfect so no charging my battery every few days Link to post Share on other sites

editionmatt 1 Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Hahaha I was a little excited =\ gave her a good clean today. Sounds silly but its amazing how much difference a decent sponge and chamois makes! No smears at all! I'm getting old! Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Get yourself a proper drying cloth, so much better than a chamois and I would never use a sponge on a car. Link to post Share on other sites
editionmatt 1 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I need a wash mitt and drying cloth then =\ I need a good lesson on washing my car! It was certainly an upgrade to my previous washing aids although I did hear of one of my mates girlfriends washing their car with a scouring pad which did make me cringe!
