Another tiny update, but every little helps..

New exhaust manifold cover bolts:

My dipstick was looking bum droppings, so I made a new handle for it.

One dipstick and one jewellers screwdriver:

Pulled off the handle and cut the dipstick:

And stuck them back together then taped over:

Didn't fancy using a short piece of silicone hose? ;-)

And so after 3 rejection letters from the DVLA, and finally finding out that the previous owner had refunded the tax on the car, I eventually managed to put my private plates on :)
(my surname is Ure, so they're perfect for me) - oh and also got a new tax disc holder haha.

Well I haven't looked into it a huge amount, but can't find coilies at all in england :S

I wanna go about 50mm down to start with, so i guess cut lowering springs or cut standard springs is the only option? As the only ones i can find are only 30-35mm.

Then some fairly entry level shocks, but again, I haven't done all my research yet.

I don't care too much about handling, I'm doing it more for looks :P

Any advice anyone wants to give would be great :)
