Nothing short of stunning lustre

Sheash, I think I'll hide mine away in embarrassment.

Thanks mate

Is yours 13L Polar Sea Blue?

No need to hide yours away.

It is indeed 13L Polar Sea Blue.
20 years of weathering and my minimal input of TLC have left the old girl looking old and dull.

New hybrid K26 Turbo being built

As I want a bit more power, but I want the bay to stay OEM looking

My brother nath had one of these and he got to about 300bhp 400ftpounds
Said it was ok, but ended up doing something to it and im not sure what.
Btw the way your cav turbo is absolutely mint. Has to be one of the best

Not sure what he did to kill it then (may be upped the boost past it limits or starved it of oil possibly).

Thanks mate that was the plan when I started the rebuild

My friend that is starting out in professional photography did a photoshoot for me the other weekend. So I thought that you would be interested in seeing some of the photos as they show off some of the details really well

Currently working on sorting a fault code on the 4x4 system, as it is dropping into to 2wd. Look how retro Tech 1 looks lol

Really nice photos, highlighting areas very well. A little heavy with the ND grad on the outside shots I feel, but the location was a good choice.

Markb · Post by **Markb** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 8:22 pm

Well the 4x4 didn't get fixed so that will be a job for another day, but I did put some miles on her and loved it

Just goes to show it does get used, but it is all clean again now

Nice one, I hope it cures the problem

Markb · Post by **Markb** » Sat Feb 14, 2015 4:32 pm

Me too mate. Otherwise I have got another couple of systems to transplant bits onto it to try and get it working.

Post by **humbucker** » Mon Feb 16, 2015 8:22 am

Is that your Tech 1 or did you borrow it? I know what you mean about those units feeling prehistoric - I've got two of 'em, and the user interface is dreadful when compared that of my Tech 2. Amazingly powerful tools nonetheless.

Markb · Post by **Markb** » Tue Feb 17, 2015 6:57 am

My friend works for Vauxhall so he borrowed it over the weekend for me

Yeah like you say they look awful, but they are powerful

Finally got the car back together after sorting a leak and damp front carpets. It takes ages to dry the foam under the carpets out!

I know what you mean, my old L hatch used to have a pond inside the foam itself, sqeezing it out was pointless as it ripped everytime I touched it. Interesting to see the heater ducting for the rear footwells, never knew it would be that shape. Always thought it was a lot smaller.
