Exactly, I'll see what's about, but for the costs I think gaz would be better purely because if I feel like it I can raise it etc

Gave it a quick clean and have enquired about bonnet/roof/wing respray to get rid of lacquer peel.
Hopefully I'll get time to give it a polish on the weekend

So then an update:-
I drove to maccies the other day, raced a cammed furio, guess who won?
I joke, but I didn't have a play with an insignia Sri estate on the way home the other evening, was fun.
No update as such, I have bought baker bm grp n engine mounts for ecu side and top of gearbox.
Payday will bring a 2" pugsport and polybushed lower mount as mines gone and annoying me.
Hopefully over next few weeks I'll have something decent to update this with.

Picked up a 2" pugsport yesterday, just awaiting some powerflex hangars and some heatwrap to make the mani look a bit better.
Suspension next and a new rad as current one doesn't look in best shape.

So then, a little has happened not much.
I had the roof resprayed
It's not the best job it has a run in it but for what I paid in happy.
Whilst cleaning it the other day this also happened
No on to blame but myself, will be getting a new bumper and getting sprayed along with my bonnet in the new year, I may have found a rear bumper but just waiting to see if the seller will post.
Parts wise, my pugsport is shit, the silencer has gone and rattles like fuck, so I'm swapping it for a supersprint on Sunday with £50 their way. Not too bad.
I have how ever received the following parts:-
Gaz front coilovers.
Team dynamic pro race 1.2s, will be getting a refurb with fresh rubber.
And this lower powerflex black edition mount, to go with the 2 upper baker bm solid mounts I have.
When I come to fit my 4-1 it didn't fit as when I crashed my saxo I bent it, no issues it cost me £40 so I'll look for another.
Not much will be happening with the car now, until the new year, Santa is hopefully bringing me rear gaz shocks, and a new bucket seat.
The new year it'll also be getting the suspension fitted, gaz all round, full polybush kit and new drop links etc, will also fit my 266mm brakes, just need to get braided lines.
I'm hoping to get this car to a semi decent track spec, I'm concentrating on handling and stopping, and the breathing mods, once this is done I'll be sorting interior with 2 buckets 3" harnesses and a half cage, a half cage because it's still a daily and looking at the safety devices one, I can upgrade to a full cage at a later date. I also want a satchshift, once this has been done it'll be getting treated to some engine work, new belts, 748s, head skim, port and polish and possibly lightened fly wheel, but I want as much track time as possible.
If I decide to keep the car after next year it'll be a second car and I'll start an ITB build.

Basically. Nothing has happened apart from its now on my old VTS wheels with toyo T1Rs all around.
It's driving well tbh, no issues as of yet.
Tax needs doing in January, also hopefully I'll be sorting a new exhaust and manifold as The deal
Didn't follow through on the supersprint.
January should be the start of regular updates as I want this car on track at french car show and then on track as much as I can afford after that.
