If I had the funds & time I'd be tempted. Having said that, I'm running a 20 year old Subaru so need every penny for the next bill which inevitably will come at some point.😁

no real updates as had family things taking up life and lost motivation i guess, but have fitted the black silicone coolant hoses 😁 and have a new genuine landing panel to drop at the body shop for colour matched paint , new radiator , condenser and receiver dryer as well as new rad mounts so a/c can work again and she can keep cool 😎

And just had some show car vibes in the Skoda Attending The Drivers Collection , Mathewsons live and a few others 🖤 not a bad summer, she goes to the body shop Saturday for the new custom painted genuine landing panel, radiator, air con condenser and a couple of bits sorting (may paint the front bumper and fit the Milltek vents) and then the work for next year starts with a re trim, if anyone can help me locate some alcantara or suede that matches the silver/white floor carpet as the door card on my side has delaminated 🫣

I did get a new steering wheel from @mr_trim_it on insta which is to go on too 😎👍
