Righty, some pics.
I've tidied up the interior slightly by refitting the pug badge to the centre of the steering wheel / ships wheel, and also some dash blanks and the heater fan knob, which I hadn't fitted the by time I took this pic, fml.
I also spent Saturday refitting the VTS rims as the tyres on the Rallye rims are cracked badly, and also dropped the exhaust off to completely readjust the satchshift, which now works great, whereas before getting reverse was tricky to say the least.
Muz donated some aerocatches as the chinese appear to keep sending him them, so I'm going to cut off the bonnet safety latch and fit the OE fan unit, and retain the standard centre latch for the bonnet, and fit the 2 aerocatches as a backup incase it fails.
Saturday evening I lashed down to Team Fastrape HQ and dropped Muz' fuel tank off the VTS so that his welding badmanz could finish welding his cage in.
On sunday the 10sex was looking pretty tragic and sorry for itself, so I gave it a wash and treated the plastic bumper trims, and fitted some 106 GTi mirrors from Blackie, cheers dude!
Dem beadz though:

It's tragic like, I need a moar better one. There's fucking loads to do yet, but it'll do for now.
Due to my hectic lifestyles I honestly can't see me getting it fettled for a track day this year so I think I'll basically aim for next year now.
I want DS2500's at a minimum, now that I've driven it the suspension is completely shit at the front, so I'll be going gaz adjustables and custom faulkner springs, it needs top mount strengthening plates and kam solid top mounts, new bottom arms which I have ready, track rod ends, the list goes on.
However, I have basically done the conversion / hard bit, and after a month or so's use, I've pretty much ironed out all the niggles with it.
It's canny, I like it

My cousin has had his license for 18 months.. His mum still makes him have P plates on.. EL OH EL. He's also in the army, and she takes his wages off him and gives him £30 a week spending money, FROM HIS OWN MONEY.
He's a little bitch, my mum would be buried in the garden if she tried something like that

I crashed it a bit then stuck it in the garage?
Not properly like, I may have reversed it into a low stone wall while parking and scraped the plastic on the bumper like a bender. I also may or may not have been attempting to reverse park while harnessed in, drinking tea and on the phone.
I'm good like.
Basically I'd say it's at the end of it's "shakedown" phase. I say shakedown, basically I've put the engine in, ironed out all the niggles, still not fitted any decent cooling, and drove the nuts off it till things broke.
It has a whole new list of things it needs now, which I'll update shortly, but I've got quite a lot going on in the real world currently, so realistically I don't expect it to be out again before next year now.
As a starter it needs:
Decent suspension, the Billies are fucked / way too soft as are the springs
Solid top Mounts
Strut top plates
Upper and Lower Braces fitted
Rear Wheel Bearings
Polybushed and VibraTechnic'd bottom arms fitted
Tyres on the steelies
New rear hub
Handbrake cables that fit (not pagid)
Coolz
Aerocatches
Decent pads
After that it should be fairly sorted tbh. FML
On the plus side, it's been a busy year, and it's no longer a shell on axle stands with a dusty engine stacked next to it, it's a running driving converted toy.

It has been scraped technically, but it hasn't been scrapped.
Honestly man, will you even be able to pick out the difference between yes and no on the ballot paper you fucking skirt wearing thistle dodging shortbread jockey?
