Went over the roof with the mop, Got it a bit nicer :D Pretty pleased, Just got a couple of bits to do by hand! Good old elbow grease!
Ordered the arches as well, So hopefully If all goes well, I can get it off to the MOT place soon! Oh and just waiting on DVLA to send my bloody log book back!!

Also took the rear suspention up a bit..Just got to wait for the arches to make final adjustments etc.

Lol, No they are boot pins..Just without the locking bits on >_< Pretty easy to fit.
Yea Im going to get some sportspack arches. Mainly because i have alread drilled the holes, And not many arches sit as high as them...Oops. Not to worry, should still look awesome with them in white :teehee:

Cheers for the comments >_< Keeping me going at the moment!

Yea it has hi-los on the back, and the front ones are waiting to go on :closed:

As for dash plans, To be honest, I dont have any lol, Just making it up as I go along. Should look alright at the end. I think im going to use the standard beezel to go around the 2 clocks. And mount the rev guage in a piece of carbon nomex. I will make a basic switch pannel which will mount on the front of the heater and replace the ignition barrel with push button start :huh:
