Up date time ( Had forgotten username and passwords lol )

Ok whats been done emmm

Nothing really haha just been mucking her up and got a stainless steel straight through back box custom made

apart from that,
My aerial is broken
drivers fog light wires corroded so not working
drivers wiper linkage broke again, fixed now
drivers tyre is going bald on the outside needs to be tracked

other than that she's sweet as a peach :D

anyway the exhaust
rang up my local exhaust fabricators yesterday to see if there was any slots available for me and they said come up at 2pm and we see what we can do for you.
Went up at 2, picked out the box and tip, handed over the keys and was told to come back in an hour.
When i got back he was just welding on the last hanger :) didnt let them cut my bumper either :p
sounds amazing, real deep tone and was told it will get louder when the carbon builds up in it :)
will be going back in the new year for a stainless steel big bore pipe from the flexi back :)

have tried getting a video but the iphone does it no justice at all :(

anyway heres a few pics, let me know what you think.
Jamie.

Bit of an update

my NCT ( National car test ) is up on the 4th of april so decided to start prepping the car for it..

first off an emissions test

allowed limit = 0.5
my car reads = 3.75 :(

was told the cat is buggered, partly guessed it though because you can smell it and it uses a gallon of oil every 1000 miles

looks like its new engine time :(
 
So after getting new engine sorted its time to fix other little things

First off fixed my fog lights, wires were burnt in drivers side because someone had used a 100w bulb instead of a 55w

Next was to get a new horn from scrappy :)

Already have a passenger front window at home with no tint for nct so went and got a drivers side window :)

And in the punto i got the windows from was a sporting gear knob, took that :) and also full set of sporting seats in black :)
Horn, window and seats all for 60 euro :)
Delighted :D

Got the front seats today from the scrappy :)

drivers seat is missing one rail but i'll just swap one of mine over.
they REALLY do need a deep clean before i even put them in the car.

gonna rent a wet and dry vac and do the whole car while i have it stripped.
not gonna bother with the back seats because noone is ever in the back of my car :D

both seats

got the seats cleaned by a valet person there yesterday for 25 quid
fitted them today and put one of those Aldi heavy duty seat covers on the drivers side and left passengers as it is.

will get some pics later when the rain stops
