With those pins and the vents, it's looking menacing.

No mechanical work done for a while, but I have acquired some lovely caliper stickers. These are the rear ones:

I've gone for Opel as the lettering fits and the car actually has no Vauxhall badges anywhere on it, only an Opel Blitz on the bootlid. I need to do the front calipers and also have some Opel Motorsport decals for the side windows.

You could say that! I think the black of the vinyl juxtaposes the vast quantity of gold on display!

Bollocks, I think they look good....

Finally had the windscreen strips made up, with the forum web address, and my Brother's game company address.

I have 2 of each, for some reason and 3 of the 'Caution Hot Exhaust' ones.

Should get these fitted over the next few days.

Fitted the sunstrip and website on the front windscreen:

Exhaust warning:

Just ordered myself some silver on black number plates. Illegal but I think they look awesome!

I'm assuming it'll get hot, I've not started it since fitting it!

There is that, I suppose. It'll look even cooler once I've formed the stainless steel heatshield.

Hi Blarno, seems like you've made some progress since I last saw anything on Graham (I don't think he had a name then). I'd love to see it run.

Thanks and welcome aboard, Alastair!

Things are slowly grinding to a halt. Only 2 weeks until Junior arrives!

Cheers! I think Haymarket have wasted enough of my time three goes at getting their site right - and its still sh!te - is quite enough. I remember when my son was born. but strangely i don't remember anything for the following 18 months. I recall being poor though....

What you will experience though is a feeling that no non parent understands. keep going on the car, you will need it for your sanity!

Welcome back Alastair, never thought I'd see you here!

Hope you remember me.

I'm used to being comfortably skint. I won't be getting rid of Graham, I need something to fill the garage!

Ah yes I remember Dradus from Myautocar, he seemed like a decent guy.

The more the merrier.

That new forum is so awful to use, I posted a couple of times but didn't bother afterwards...
