Had a few hours refreshing the box today..

It needs a 2nd baffle on top to stop it flexing but when I came round to stripping the post off it took most of the wood with :(

So now needs 2 new baffles.

Was a bit rough inside si tidy that up and gave it a lick of paint.

Took some filler to the port top ready to start smoothing that too.

Scrap the above, Mrs wants rid now it's not being used.

Finally dragged it out from hibernation, my Bro wants to use it now his comany car has gone back.

It's been sat under the carport for months and not been touched, 4 flat tyres and a flat battery.

Got some power into it and it must've thought it was Christmas

Washed it and threw some new blades on it and put a bit of fuel in and took it a blast.

It didn't wow me back into wanting to swap bk from the 4x4 but at least it'll be getting used now and not sat doing nothing.

Old wheels will be back on tomorrow

A colour change on them will eventually happen

^ its back

Decided to paint my wheels as the red was old and had seen better days.

I quite like the pink colour choice in a kind of strange way lol think white would suit it very well tho to be fair !

I'm not a fan of white, black,anthracite etc. It's a bit overdone and boring imo, I like a bit of colour

Burnt orange ! Would look sick !!

Tried orange and it had a massive reaction for some reason.

That looks nice m8 with the Orange , why not try lime green or Kawasaki green !!!

Did that on my drifter e36, pink is growing on me ; )

Really feel like I shouldn't be encouraging you but I actually think the pink works quite well. Bright colours always seem to on black cars. Had it been silver or blue it would have been another story...

I don't need much encouragement when it comes to be different

The pink seems to have faded so it's time for another colour.

Purple will be the next colour, trailed it on the 4x4's airbox and it came out pretty cool.

This is now poorly, traction control thing in the pump has packed up and a crazy boost leak from somewhere (dv I think) which is causing it to cut out all the time, rear speakers are dead. As I'm concentrating on getting the 4x4 done this has gone back into hibernation and won't see 2015 again. I'll look at maybe getting it done in the new year.

Decided to investigate the boost leak. wasn't expecting to find the recirc valve just dangling about though, Bolts have somehow worked loose and disappeared along with the dv internals!

Also checked the cam follower and by the looks of it I'm glad I did.

Couple of nice easy faults there. Good find.

Got round to a job I've been meaning to do for a while but never had the time. Now it's out of action was the perfect opportunity.

Welded the spoiler holes and badge recess up ready for a bit of smoothing.

Also realised it was a touch close to the wall now it's on stands

Started to sand the boot earlier before I went out green laning.

Also started to tidy the wheels up, have some black lying around and because I'm looking for new wheels I thought that'd do for a change.

Christ on a bike. Got lucky there mate with the follower. And that diverter fault is a new one for me lol! Glad to see you still have this mate.
