My only plans for the Civic will be:
Give it a valet
Put fuel in it

lol :D
 
Nikki, can't wait to see you again :) and Solarice, we need to meet - your car is a legend!
 
Clean her today and try to pull out the front panel so the bonnet lines up.

The final touches. She is clean now. Trying to get the front member back to the right position. Old dear who had the car seemed to like hitting things.

Got a bit to do. Everything on list apart from the Ariel is in the post so I'll get too it as soon as bits start arriving :)
 
Get the new rimmage and ride height sorted is the main thing - Then I just want to make the car more presentation-worthy. Needs a ruddy good bit of detailing. Thinking of busting out the t-cut.

Oh and I want to have a crack at removing my bump strips if I can find the courage to attempt it.

Just pull them off, I don't know what you're worried about nothing bad will happen :)
 
You've got a black car how off colour could it be?!? The glue unfortunately that's a byproduct of taking the strips off
 
well i did say "quite abit", and now there's a critical dilema where it could be turning into possibly "near impossible to finish on time" due to this clearance issue with the new forged engine :(
 
update.

done all of what i said i would lol.

now need brake pads and possibly tyres... :S then it can stay as it is until december then its scrap lol
 
after a long hard struggle I've now got her up n running. just minor cleaning n painting, practice tenting skills and prep some videos
 
Update for me.

Wheels and tyres are done
Mot done
Adjustable Panhard rod is on order from Noddie
Just leaves air box, service and getting it clean.
 
just had another practice putting my tent up in the garden and more familiar with it now. once its up its gr8, a little home away from home:cool:
 
my todo list for next week:

weld & fit exhaust
buy & fit gauges
wrap the center dashboard piece with cloth
maybe change engine oil
buy cleaning stuff
sew a bag for the handbrake
clean the engine bay
and finally, get my ass over to england :D
 
My car is at Fusion Motorsport now so hopefully have most of that lot done before JAE! if it's not ready, blame Ed ;)
 
lol best of luck arnold & Ed :)

after a heart stopping moment of discovering I forgot to tighten the cam spocket bolts which loosened, hit/cracked the engine cover but luckily didn't cause terminal damage :oops: thats all fixed, new engine cover painted luvely red, engine purring nicely, IC pipes insulated. it's pretty much finished for now.
minor things are the tiny rear main seal oil leak, tiny gearbox oil leak, toyos need repainting, oh and need to finally apply the msc sticker I brought from the last JAE lol

camping gear - ready, dvd player with charger/battery & inverter & compiled videos & photos which I'll be placing in the window - ready, spare clothes n undies - ready :p

starting my annual 2week roadtrip nxt week, down to wales, devon, london, scotland, over to isle of man and then ending at JAE

i hope the jae tickets arrive at home in time, I'll be returning home on thurs beforehand.
what do I do if the tickets hasn't arrived?
