Loving your progress alot has been done! Must be tough taking the wheel of without hitting them on them brakes. I really need to get my brakes sorted too!
I knocked over some T-cut in my boot and never look the same since!

So many people say pits are illegal why? Your not meant to leave vehicles running for long in any workshop so don't see why fumes are an issue. I work for a Volvo Trucks dealer and we too have a pit but we have a ramp and lots of lifts for working on the biggest trucks and buses you can get.

Anymore plans can't think of what you haven't done!

cheers for the comments they are a bit close not hit them yet i put them on when it was on the ramp not taken them of on the floor yet il have to see what happens.i found it so easy to fit them really.

i managed to clean my carpet i removed it and jet washed it of came up like new :D

iv didnt even no if they were illegal or not most cars dont kick out much bad emissions any more really just smells really bad

got a few little bits i want to do im defo gettin a remap in about 3 weeks goin for stage 2 and other little bits really
 
i didnt notice the fog lights ive wanted to do somthing like that for ages so they can get some use.
i thought about getting a bulb holder that houses the same bulb as a tail light only in white and led so theres quite a large amount of white in there without being illegal.
good to see you have done it.
ive only ever got as far as thinking about it lol.

i had the plate of befor the last derby meet and thats nearly a month so would say about 5 or 6 weeks

been past so many police cars aswel never pulled me up for it more worried about the traffic police cars really only been past 2 of them but never turned round and pulled me over think im just lucky at the min
 
on my old car my front number plate come off while cleaning it.
on my way to get new number plate stickys i had to make a quick couple of turns as i noticed traffic filth were about to turn round after they had just been past me. its a shame they dont concentrate on real criminals.
