Actually you reminded me I need to dig out an electric heater or 2 to put in the garage :)

Going to try and get a couple of custom made parts...i.e. TB elbow that is 45o in preparation for making a nice straight line to the vmount that i\'ll get eventually. And also the plastic pipe that goes from the y-pipe towards the intercooler...try and get a solid pipe here.

A true man\'s retreat of a garage would have a big wood burning stove in the corner...hmmmm

Building up for time attack 2007!
Will still take the car out for runs in the snow, lots of drifting without tire wear lol! Just make sure I give the car a complete wash afterwards to rid it of nasty salt!!
Cheers

Quote from: dandanNice bumper Jono! Won\'t those A-spec lights be a bugger to source though? I think it would look lovely with the 99 spec ones in.

My plan is to keep saving for next winters project. It\'s called \'Project 20k\' for a reason... :)

Not sure what to do with the lights as yet Dan dan.... might just bin them all to egther ad stick everything in the headlight conversion???

If not I\'ll make a mould and heat perspex to form the carrect shape.... it\'s not too hard, just got ot get the temp correct!!! Gonna try it in the old dears oven (gonna keep that bit quiet though!!!):yes

Might have to get round to fixing the bent drivers door as it leaks a little when it rains and the drivers seat gets wet, which is not nice. :(

No, your door. I thought you were writing about your FD :o
