Those wheels look spot on mate! Nice job  

Started fixing up the bbs kit today too, need to find some arches aswell or make a mold and do them myself like I did with lexan rc shells.
Tuesday morning will see my last A level exam out the way too, so I'm just going to yank the entire alarm system out the 16v which is spliced into every bloody wire I can see under the dash   

Good luck with the exam mate. Do you kids still write answers on your arms or is that old school

Nope, in GsCE I managed to scan a coke bottle label, replace the ingredients list with formulae on photoshop then print the label and glue to the bottle.

You lot need to get with the 21st century

OMG!!! Kids today eh.

Right…..where to start  
Bought a couple of things for the mk1 from trimsport, couple of relays and some new wiring (same colours as fuel pump wiring) to try and sort out the fuelling. Also got a radiator card courtesy of smudger, cheers dude  

However, I did manage to get rather tipsy last night, 7 double shots and 2 tequila slammers later, my entire mk1 fund has been drained.

It appears I have booked/been tricked into booking two tickets to Paris     

No refunds either so looks like next week i'll have to be off, at this rate i'll need to sell my kidney to get any new parts     

Well you can survive on one kidney so go enjoy Paris! - and careful down the pub next time  

Lol cheers Andy. Wasn't at the pub, was the school prom so got fairly trashed then and went back to the gfs and got even more trashed. Woke up to get some cash from the ATM - account has £630 gone   

Booked the weekend before her birthday so ill just say I meant it as a present  

LMAO - Excellent and nice escape, hopefully!  

You twonk
