thats crap about the bloke mate, but the body shop probably quoted for a new bumper aswel etc

Yeah, I got evidence (texts and emails!) His mate is doing the quotes so I guess he just told his mate to bump the price up

Progress will be at a lul once again, being shipped off to the capital for 4-6 months for work after the attack the other week. All hands on... "Deck" :ph34r: ...but not that deck' :( 

 

Got plenty more bits on the way so when I get chance I'll hopefully have a massive update for you all ;) Couple AEM and AN6 bits here for then though.

Last minute bit of test fitting of a Starlet GT (EP82) rear spoiler. Needs a bit of fettling and chopping but Should make a nice mold for carbon / fiberglass piece(s) later in the year ;) - Might even have a couple for sale

Even though I'm not going to be working on the car any time soon I've continue hoarding bits until I get back and fit them.
Managed to spot a cheap(ish) MR2 Spyder/Roadster electric PS pump for £60 on fleabay- I'll be swapping to that to free up the parasitic power losses of a standard PS pump - I'm also looking to fit two cooling rads- One for oil cooling and the other for PS accompanied by AN6 lines and fittings.

 

The process for wiring up is supprisingly simple, Its the bracketry etc I'll need to get made / make!

Well.. There it is, last wash before she goes. Its been a short but fantastic trip never missed a beat even if she did break a driveshaft! but unfortunately as of late she's been treated badly by the M6... Sat in traffic on Wednesday and a van switched lanes whilst speeding, didn't see we were at a standstill and slammed into a Pug 307 behind me, who then ploughed Into the back of me throwing the car 2-3ft forwards.

 

Bad case of whiplash, bruised lower back and one seriously dented boot.

 

Insurance is coming to inspect on Monday but I highly suspect they'll write it off, whatever the outcome I'll probably be putting the money into the MB or my R32 when I finally get the engine and box back
