Whats left to get your car ready for the shows?

Not really that long before the big shows like PVS and Billing etc kick off. What you got left to do on your car to get it ready for then?

Mine's a fair way off yet. I want the alloys refurbed and painted. Get the bodywork seen to and a complete wet&dry and buff up. Get reiger grill painted and fitted. Gsi kit would be nice too I'm sure there's other stuff I can't think of right now also.

I'm doing the Yorkshire PV Show in June and Billing. I have to remove the last of the resiude on dside,from the side trims that I took of. I have paint chips and small rust spots to do and polish out the scratches.Paint my new wheel trims and side mirrors.
I might but a decal on the sides if I find one that I like.
Cheers Dawn

[Andy_Mk3]

You mean apart from the XE, lowering and GSI fanblades?

yeah well thats a pathetic list of mods

 

[Alex]

It's only a daily runabout though I got my turbo as the one that gets lots of mods

 

[Andy_Mk3]

it is indeed! alright some some though, XE as a runabout

 

[Alex]

Makes sense, more economical than a 1.4 or 1.6 for the amount of driving I do a day, when we borrowed Lee's 1.4 it was worse on fuel than my LET

 

[Andy_Mk3]

yeah the underpowered cars have to work twice as hard to keep at 70.. doing 80 in mine is not far off foot flat to the floor, but follow a lorry at 60mph and i'm barely touching the pedal

 

[vauxhall_astra]

[fleck]

i have an awful lot to do before i feel ready for shows...
sand fill and spray front bumper
refurb rubber splitter
modify sand fill and spray ph1 skirts
sand fill and spray ph2 spoiler
fit ph1 mirrors and electrics
heat wrap and fit branch manifold
do timing belt and water pump
change rocker cover
sand and paint strut brace
get red silicone hoses cut and fitted
change black cable tidy for red
fit new discs calipers and carriers
maybe fit equal length shafts although that is not a priority...
so lots to do then...
