Re: she's getting there

so been a long time since my last update! so got a few pics of the things i have done since my post.

Al start with my new remote locking i got. found thread on here about a hawk kit and for the money it cost i really couldnt see why i shouldnt buy it, so boom few days later it came

Also when i had the paint out i thought i would do the washer jets. glad i did i think it looks 10 times better colourd.
one finished one in primer.

I thought since most the bad weather is away i would clean the hole engine bay up and paint a few wee bits. i painted the mount, rocker cover and a bracket thats on the manifold. some people like it some dont, but i like it and its my car haha

and now for the thing i was most happy about. since when corering at speed in the old seats you felt like you were going to roll off onto the floor i went in serch for some new seats. after a bit of serching and things i relized it would cost more than i thought so put it off for abit. but when is the scrappys at the weekend i found a HGT that hadent be strpped yet, i asked how much they would take for the seats and they says £15 a seat! so got them there and then, took them for a clean and whaped them in.
