    So.. Today I re-tensioned the head gasket @110%, gave the pump a tad more advance (set it from 1.0mm to about 1.1mm) and moved the glow plug switch to a more suitable position on the centre console.

    I lowered the back 15mm and the front 10mm, too.



    I also fitted some driving lights I had on the shelf. The bumper already had the holes for them, so I figured why not.


    Oh, and in other news, I got the keys to the house yesterday. I took a chick 'round that wanted to see it and she snapped this off...

    Looks like a shot straight out of the early 80's. Don't change a thing on the house bro it looks great as it is.

    Linseed oil the bumpers bro. They look terrible all white like that.

    That looks like a seriously big front lawn! You should start a build thread on a 16v ITB mower mate!

    Cheers, mate. It has Dom's Audi sitting behind the gate at the moment and it also looks quite fitting. Haha.

    Cheers, mate. No plans to go modifying anything. Just tidying up.

    We've got a bottle of Linseed oil here, so I'll get onto it during the week hopefully.
