How you have the car is spot on, looks better with the wheels now rather than the turbo rims, Turbo rims make it look a bit bland in comparison IMHO.

Done some carbon wrapping. And yea i know the kerb light is on wrong, now sorted. I have also died the parcel shelf black will post pic later when at the cav. Also post more pics of door cards.

Next up tomorrow is a really good engine tidy. Potentially paint the inlet to get it presentable, always looks so dirty.

well as the weather was good decided to do cam cover gaskets and plugs.

tools for the job
Image

a bit of improvised shelter should it rain, which it didn't. wtf!
Image

off with the engine cover and some labeling to mitigate the risk of wrong plug order and subsequent misfire after building everything back up! yes i have done it before!
Image

off with the cam covers
Image

i fitted oe elring gaskets and o-rings, plus Bosch super 4 plugs.

finished and was taken for a tanking down fifes finest back roads.

Always amazes me how people stick around on the forums after they have moved on from their cavalier. We must be irresistible, lol
