I've got from tomorrow untill next Wednesday off to do a lot of things to the car that I have been putting off. I hope to give her a good bath and polish also and take some nice shots of her in her new form...

Well I got my tyres on the fronts and then went to fit them but soon discovered my bolts were to long

So - still no front wheels. I'm off to borrow a mate vice tomorrow for the exciting task of chopping 10 bolts down to size..... Oh the excitment.

On a side note, I caught up with William when I grabbed my tyres. I got a set of crystal indicators now wich look much cleaner than the crappy foggy things that were on there before. It's a much fresher look - thanks champ!

For hose who want to know - I ended up with the Falken FK452's in the 215/25/29 variant and they look pretty snazzy stretched over the 8.5" rim.

Unfortunetly I'm now running out of day light so I wont get to fit my rear lights today, but I'm on hollidays so I have heaps of time....

I also have a TT shifter here that I'm going to see if I can modify to make it fit my car. There's just one thing I need to get pressed out and drilled out a bit and from what I have seen it should fit. Another job on my to do list...

More updates to follow...

Patience!!! I've had a rather busy day.

I discovered my fault with no rear lights was in fact my break switch - Millan and the gents from TCCA Motorsport are sorting that out along with shortening down the bolts for my adapters. In short, tomorrow I'll finaly have all 4 of my wheels on with break lights with hopefully new lenses and deleted rear wiper! Yay.

That is all...
