Haven't updated this in ages.. A bits happened since anyway.

Firstly, I never finished painting the car in chalkboard paint the last time I painted it. So, i bought some more and started painting the rest, too find out it was a different shade of black/grey. I sanded the car back to remove the old paint, and this gave me an excuse to debadge the rear also.




I repainted the car, with the chalkboard paint..which this time, is actually nearly black..rather than the grey it was before.




I'm going to repaint or get the car done professionally in the coming months in a Gloss primer grey colour, as seen on 911 SC's. I've got the paint here, I just need a decent compressor and such. It's not urgent so I'm not bothered at the moment.

I also painted my boot floor, I'll do it properly at some point along with the rest of the interior.



Got my Bucket seat in, 1 of them anyway. The other is being retrimmed on the Bolsters as it's ripped quite badly.. So I'm using the other atm which still has rips in, but not too bad.





Took the car for it's Mot today.. and it FAILED ..Bastard. Albeit, not drastically bad for a car this age and such.

I took it to a friends garage for the MOT and he said it's not that bad.. A couple of hole's need welding, One on the offiside inner arch-drivers footwell. about and Inch across. and the other is the Rear arches.. ahem (Which I Fibreglassed & nearly got away with it.) Bastard.
The rest is the brakes, which have been a pain since the start.. The hoses are twisted somehow, time to fit my braided lines then, and the handbrake isn't up to scratch. I've had enough of working on the brakes & I don't have a welder. But my mate at the garage informed me of a farm owner that does Mot work and repairs stupidly cheap, so I've dropped it off there and should have an MOT in a week or so.
