Mines on the road and working perfectly, but I've got a list of things I want to get done before, just as precautionary items to try and minimise the chances of a break down.

Added the list up last week and it comes to about £400 :wub:

7 Weeks , can't wait !

Haven't really got much to do to my car, did the major stuff a while ago, but would like to fit a plated diff and few other other little things.

Mines still in pieces :)
Its getting there though. Did the suspension then found it they weren't the right springs, not low enough haha.
So hopefully springs will arrive tomorrow for me to fit on Sunday.

Still need to give it a good service mind.

New radiator and alternator to go on and Bobs your uncle.

Should have the new wheels refurbed and rubbered up by this too :)
