Nice one mate. Should work out about right time coz my fmic is comin soon and need to source some pipework

@bigT's lcr What sort of pipework are you going for, will it mean you have to loose the fog lights

@Yellow fr I think you need to book a holiday so you can strip it all down and take your time putting it back together because you know there is always going to be something that's not quiet right. Having said that when its finished it will be spot on.

Holiday sounds nice but if I did that the wife would have me doing stuff around the house and my car would not get alook in and would also end up doing the water pump and timing belt kit on the wife’s car and doing a service on the step daughters car as well all that before mine so holidays are a no go I will just stick to a Saturday morning rush to get as much done on my car before she calls saying are you ready to go shopping grr

Have you ever thought of charging them for doing the servicing maybe you could charge main dealer prices and with that money when she says are you ready to go shopping you can say Yes Love looking for a xxxxx .

OK Back to real world now

 

[Yellow fr]

Lol I give them the price off parts and I’m still waiting for the cash oh well not seeing any off that any time soon lol

When are you thinking of doing your bumper kev? Il be doin mine at the end of the month so was thinking maybe we should get some sync down to do the grill/crash bar swap lol

 

[Yellow fr]

The bumper is in at paint shop now so it’s waiting on him but let me know a week before you do it and if the new parts are not painted I will just remove the grills from my bumper that’s on now so it will give the painter the hurry up lol

Ok nice one

 

[Yellow fr]

Well it looks like I have a new thing todo on my car and that’s find a engine or pull it all apart and see if it’s the piston rings that have worn or the valve stem oil seals that have worn as I’m burning oil the turbo should be ok as it’s only done 2 k
