Fitted a new passenger side window regulator, fixed the sticky outside door handle (just a bit of lubricant did the job luckily), replaced the mats and gearstick gaiter.

Also 3D printed a replacement cover for the ashtray hole so I have a little bit of extra storage space in the cabin. Not sure how it’ll hold up but pleased with it so far.

Got some new front and rear drop links to fit but procrastinating getting them done.

Done some cleaning. First car I really enjoy cleaning, seems an easy one.

Not so much what I have done, but what I would like to do. The Tipo 184 in the latest STHT issue stirs the juices.


What a head turner that would be…

Started off with the autobrite correct it range but that wasn’t cutting the watermarks out so o resorted to scholl s0 matting compound which is the equivelant of 1000grit sandpaper, however on my cutting pad it stil wasn’t up to it so had to do the whole thing with a microfiber and the scholl to cut out the watermarks then bring it all back with the correct it range from autobrite direct then waxed it up with auto finesse essence - a kinda mid-range wax

I used some angelwax ceramic coating on the scuttle to test it out but would normally be gtechniq

Finally got my konig’s and bc coilovers installed and alignment done this last week. I think it sits too low atm in the rear maybe. Im measuring 370mm from centre cap to arch.

Wasn’t expecting the tires to protrude out as much with the 225’s. I like the look but the rear rub on the edge of fenders so I need to get them rolled.

Replaced the 14" 5 spokes for some 15" MK2 Enkei’s.

Definitely prefer them over the originals.

I agree. The new wheels do look better than the originals. Nice one :+1:

I didn’t mind the originals that much while they were on, but now I’ve changed its like chalk and cheese.

Only real mindset with the 15’s was the fact it’s easier to get better tyres but I’m definitely not regretting my decision now.

Removed the standard radio unit to replace it with the Pioneer set that was in the car when I bought it. No real reason to,just fancied a change.
Discovered that I’ve misplaced the adaptor that plugs into the wiring block,so put the original stereo back in

I recently fitted a reverse camera to my newly acquired car, I miss the rear sensors on the previous car.
Works well for an outlay of £11 why not, I had a gift voucher not knowing what to spend it on at Amazon.:grin:
