6th
Went to Stoneleigh over the bank-holiday, saw the gang (hey boys!) and managed to pick up a set of AVO shocks for £60 for me new front suspension.

12th
Bought a set of wheels of E-Bay today, when I picked them up there where monstrous, hope I can make use of them!! Think they are probably too big for the front arches, so I might have to swap or buy wider ones... sure something will turn up!


Had the chop, ooeerr!


Nice set and only £81!

31st

Managed to spend some time on the car again! Had the back jacked up and altered and modified the handbrake cable, all working now. Got a bit annoyed when I couldn't find my "locktite" untile after I cleared everything up. Also started work on getting the acelerator pedal in position. Also managed to clean and paint a few more bits and bobs.

Also put a bid in todya for some Mazda MX5 seats, the look pretty good for the project. But I cocked up on my bidding and lost out, the pair went for £82! and they looked superb and had speakers in the headrest which I think will be brilliant in the hood :) Still no matter plenty of time before I need seats, so I'll just keep my eye out for them.


Well they look good and I think they fit, shame I got outbid :(

Been a bit of a spending month, but at least I've had some time to move on with the project again! My aim is to have a rolling chassis and engine/brakes working by the end of the year. Lets see if I an do that at least!
