Other than finishing some house jobs hiding from the kids in the garage when time allows will be.... Bare shell nut and bolt rebuild of my old renault 5 GT turbo I purchased back after selling 11 years ago, lot of work on shell Above will take most of my free time as the car turns 30 next year and be good to get back on use But also going to try to finish the fabrication fitting my rs3 5pot tfsi & 7speed dsg conversion. Already have the 1.8 20vt mid mounted DG

RWD?

The old race car I converted to sr20det power? Still have it and plan to just get out in it more next year. Have future plans but even with baby 230bhp plenty quick enough and enjoy the chassis

I'm thinking of washing Nipper, does that count as a mod?

 

I use the term "washing" rather loosely, it's more a case of determined hard scrubbing with a nail brush to get the flies and grime out. The wheels are a proper pain the arse too, with RC8 dust seemingly melted into them. Last time I resorted to using oven cleaner on them!

Getting the engine I bought, months ago, from Nick in my car... it has been sitting there lonely in the corner of my garage.

 

Also debating about  swapping my GAZ Gold Pro II kit for some Quantums

 

But first the misses want be to finish building our house... bloody priorities  :beat:

Just received notification that my GARW 8" LCD has shipped. So having just done the supercharger/chargecooler upgrade this will be the next thing on the list to be fitted.

-Make my own rear diffuser

-Buy an Eltec splitter

-Fit my my 308 disks (big heavy anchors) + RC6

-Fit my new rear calipers

-Refurb my front calipers

-Do a suspension refresh incl. blasting and coating

-Fit my MBR ARB

-Do cambelt service

 

Yeah OK, I will probably do approx. 3 things off that list in the next year as I really need to drive it.  I have done approx. 50 miles this year, and that was a month ago to get it MOTed!
