Pictures of my headlights...... which need the adjusters repairing.. hence why they lighting up the floor and not the road in front of me so well... :(

 

Will try that 3M headlight restorer as well.... that should make them a bit clearer.

Just don't go too aggressive as it can burn headlamps

Definitely an improvement. :clap:

In the advert I was sure the car was listed as having 312mm brakes so I am at a loss to explain where they went.

Although I have to agree I never checked them when I collected it.

Odd.

 

So very glad you sold me the alternative set now! Though come to think of it, maybe I should go and check they are 312s :P (nah only kidding, I already did :peek:)

I've oddly found Halfords cutting compound did more with my lights than 3m

Car is now back with me after headlights put back together and now adjusted so I can see when dark LOL. Quick clean and bumped into Skippy over at the cross, such a small world.

Pictures of it cleaned

Will do so tomorrow.. and probably upload from work on Monday. Work function tonight at nice hotel with some lovely grounds.... cue some scenic car shots

Good stuff I always think ooh I could get a decent picture there, then get out the car realise it's covered in mud and drive on.

A few photos this morning. Wheels and alloys are a little dirty, damn crappy car park, and of course it's the night after a clean... Near a forest/park/golf course.. so a few bugs were attracted to the paintwork overnight/early morning. I cleaned off what I could.

Can you see where you're going now?

Looking great

Cheers Jack, these are the largest size pictures I could email myself so will try to upload larger versions at a later date.

 

And yes at night time visibility is a LOT better!

Replacement top dash obtained, thanks Richard, and some door cards to replace my ones that have a few switches loose. Will take my time and get them just right before fitting... may even improve the door speakers whilst I'm at it....

sits very well over them spiders Steve

No problem.

Seeing the car again reminded me what a great looking mk1 it is.

Wheels, white and factory xenons really work together.

I only just noticed this project thread. Lovely car in great Colour Steve...!!!!  

What I like about the paint job is the door shuts are still black. Gives it a bit of contrast. And it looks MEAN in your rear view mirror!

Thanks gents much appreciated!

 

Been a little quiet, Xmas and New Year have a habit of getting in the way of car modifications. Well eating and drinking do.

 

Quick pop up, 3.5 hours drive, to Derv Tech in Manchester for a custom map. Great day with the brilliant chaps and car goes so much better than before! Power comes in and stays better now can't wait to stick it on the rollers to see what she does.

 

Thanks Danny and Jay for the company up and back would have been mind numbing without some banter on the way up and down. Yours is next Danny!

Enjoying the driving experience now it's sorted more mate?

Oh definitely Jack. If not for a long drive, early start and long drive back it would have been enjoyed much more. In the next few days/weeks when you get the chance to properly enjoy the trips around and settle in with the changes to it, that it will really start to kick in and put a smile on my face.

 

It was fun accelerating away from people with them going WTF is in that LOL.

LOL well with your walking pace definitely! When you're down or at the next meet you'll have to come for a ride along. It does bring a smile to the face... be even better with dry roads LOL.
