I would seeing as its likely to see some stones and general sh*t from the road. Especially if you want the gloss look.

Went to the work shop after work. Had some thoughts about the rear arches.... so got the grinder out and the fibreglass

I cut and moulded the the arch back in to the body work.... what's peoples thoughts.....

I got over excited with the grinder...... and it's not a road car so no spare wheel needed

Now have room for a proper diffuser

Booked in for my MoT today - 4pm next Tuesday should give me a chance to give it a good run before the test. If it passes without any trouble I'm probably going to go ahead with changing the clutch myself, so expect plenty of stupid questions from me about why there are four Sachs clutch kits on the eurocarparts website and they're all different prices but have the same measurements...

Broke down yesterday. My clutch pedal broke & fell to the floor Managed to coast out of rush hour traffic in neutral & rac came to rescue. Must be the month for clutch issues!

Sounds like either slave cylinder valve or centrifugal clutch cylinder

**** must've been a mix of two types of paints... Never mix enamel, lacquer, or acrylic paints always stick to one type.

best thing might be to bathe in some kind of paint thinner depending on the paint you used. But be careful as some paint thinners can damage plastic.

That’s brutal! Reminds me I need some 2k lacquer with a hardener mixed in. Anyone got any recommendations where to buy?

Thanks for this - still confused, but it's probably safer to say I'm less confused than I was before.

The main thing for me is making sure I have all the things I'm going to need before I start dismantling the car - but the more I read about clutches, the more I'm starting to feel like that's actually part of the challenge - you might need a new flywheel on this job, a new master cylinder on that job, a new release bearing on that one...

Luckily just clutch pedal. Was back on the road Friday so it's happy again

Got some goodies in the post. Engine should be breathing nicely with this.

 

[Thai-wronghorse]

Badger5 goodies are welcomed with open arms.

Going for a bit of shopping today. Have a day off work so might as well spend some money

I really want one of those badger5 shields. The one that comes with the Ramair filter is so wafty. Does keep the maf sturdy though.
