Couldnt wait till the morning so my pal squeezed her in this evening at the garage and apart from a little water leak coming from the pump, job sorted for now plus weve wound up the fuelling and turbo actuater thingy so she goes like shit off a stick now, proper kick when the turbo winds up .Changed the fuel filter and housing as that was leaking and instead of taking a couple of goes to start ,she starts 1st crack as well so a good evening out at the garage.
Burnt off a boy racer Clio on the way home ,he must have got a shock when i left him for dead at the lights :lol:

Thats not a shed - it's got potential. Some nice wheel trims and 20 bottles of Tcut . . . a concourse star is born!

"Red Shed" has had a minor makeover today with a compound and polish, bumpers painted with bumper paint and a set of cheapy hubcaps(has anyone got some TGD trims?)
Still a shed but now i think looks more presentable.

Ooo 'ello - 'Red Shed' you SHALL go to the ball! Looking good - it's amazing what a little T-cutLC will do =D>
I have to say I'm a great proponent of car valetting products - of which I possess an unhealthy knowledge - I really do need to get out more!

Is that the ZX you're busy 'tartin' up' Tim? As nice as you hoped?

You've ruined the 'Shed look' :?: :( , I thought it was on it's way to being a genuine ratter.

It drives so nicely that i thought out of interest i,d just rub the corner of the bonnet with compound, you know as you do at 11pm at night and it came up quite well so i decided to give it the makeover.Its never going to be a minter as theres scratches and dinks all over the place but im less worried about driving her past police cars now :lol:
