just keepin you updated what ive bin doin the last few weeks.
mot was due so it had a major service . then i had a new cv boot and joint done to stop the clicking when pulling out of parking spaces. new drop link someother link thing cant remember what that was! then i went for the mot and it FAILED!!!!
but good news all round all i needed was side light bulbs both sides one near side headlight bulb coz pattern was off and new set of wiper blades. well chuffed i expected alot worse.
now thats out of the way for another year , on with the project.
finish pulling out the interior and tidy it up.
new wheels
rear strut bar
and new gaskets all round.

started tinting my lights started off small to see if its hard but its not, i used flyeye tints i think someones used it b4 on here i think it was marco . its great very easy to work with.
heres a before and after pic .

The headlights are a pain. I'd recommend you start with the outside of the lights, which is trickiest, and work towards the insides.

love the seat graet work fell.
ive been after a set for about a year now
-
just a little update i fixed my oil leak ,changed the rocker cover gaskets , it was pretty easy to say im not mechanically minded , did both gaskets in about 3 hours with abit of help ,
all good fun and a bit of a learning proces got showered in petrol when i took the injector pipe of stuck my finger over the end to get something for it to drain into the when i let go splish splash i had a bath in petrol, but other than that fairly straight forward .saved me loads of money by doin it myself a mechanic wanted £240 just to do the back one,
it cost me £29 for gasket set and 3 hours of my day…
