Ey up.

Right i decided to get up at 8am this morning to crack on with jobs i wanted done weeks ago. Little did i know sanding one half of the cam cover takes me nearly 3hrs. :S

Before ish. (with a light sand)



Note i did the front cover with the covers still attached to the engine.. Back im doing tommorow morning.

Nearly 3hrs later







And painted calipers Yellow to go with the 'S badge on the door.

Ive noticed when i do come to jack it up the jack tilts alittle. Thats why i had to borrow axel stands when i changed the calipers over. I will get a better one soon. Small trolly jack.

And cheers. :)

Didnt do the over part of the cam cover (hectic morning, dont ask) later on i washed, clayed and waxed the car. These are only pics in the street. will get some better ones later.

I used Sandpaper, went from the roughest to the finest and then polished it with Autosol. I only got the pack of 15 from Halfords for £6.

Deliberately left viewing this thread for a while thinking that when I came back it might look like a normal height car. I was wrong.
