Thanks for comments.

Still got a long way to go tho had bad thoughts of selling it  :surprised:

Yeah I'll probably end up hack sawing the wiper off as in past I've never succeeded in removing rear wipers without.

Did you make the v2 holder or have it done by a company?

Monte as your local recommend anywhere to have my chassis notch done?

I bought one of these to get my wiper off! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190895377146?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

You can get cheaper ones though. It was actually a really useful tool :happy2:

Well it was made by studio in car when they did my whole install. but i cant imagine it would be very difficult to make, just make a template, and wrap it in some decent durable material.

Ha thanks!

Yeah was my dream wheels. I was lucky to find a set, although the cost with refurbing etc got abit out of hand. But think it pays off.

Also for who don't follow me on Instagram...
Got this email earlier this week...


Well happy about this as already had a hotel booked so makes the 200 mile each way even more worth it! As when I booked my hotel was before I had air or the wheels I think  :signLOL:

Cheers wheels are 8j front and 9.5j rear, tho i cant remember what off sets are.

Booked in on the 5th of next month for a notch at Only Charged Dubs.

Also been trying to book it in for a front end re-spray but looks like it will be the week after Early Edition as ive left it too late now as usual!  :signLOL:

Removed my rear wiper saturday morning and fitted one of them german glass blanks real nice piece of kit that fitted well.

Also have my black washer cap fitted to engine bay but didnt get any decent photos and rest of weekend i was feeling ill so didnt get anything done  :scared:

Took a trip up to see Matt @ Only Charged Dubs yesterday and finally got it notched  :laugh:




So happy with how it sits now.

Also have a few more parts acquired but won't be on until Players now. But i do have a US spec grill that will be on for Early Edition :)

Ha blame the ground for it not being low enough!

Starter on sorting my new brakes out today but it started raining :(

Still need to order up pads/discs/fluid anyways so won't be on in time for Early Edition.
