The old gaitor was worn and also doesn't accept aftermarket gear knobs, ( U know what I mean if U have ever tried to replace the knob) the new gaitor is nicer and also matches the rest of the interior with the red stitching..

Last day in UK before I fly back, managed to get some aero wipers fitted and some nice smoked repeaters, and had a second wash and polish, plus interior valet.. And a new baring and shorter lugnuts, to enable centra cap to go on,
:mrgreen: It's looking fresh

Some pics:
Old rusty blades gone...

:shock:
Holy jobby those blades were in a bad way!
Car is looking much better. When will you be back to it next? And when do you finish in the US for good, so you actually get to use/enjoy it?

So the mugen rep kit is on order, and I've left my brother
The keys and some cash to get it all sorted. He has actually taken a liking too it.

Ihave another 12 months and then should be back for good. I'm gonna be honest, when I saw it, finally, it did look like a lot more work than Id planned for, but I had mentally decided to save this from the knackers yard and am now committed. One of the blades just wouldn't come off, it had rusted onto the wiper arm.... All done now and quite happy with what I've done in the last few weeks..today was the first day it was fully drive able... (Because of the wheel baring)... Vtec is strong in this one :)
