So a little update, the Paint job that Hybrid Motorsports in Harlow did on the car wasnt quite up to scratch and the bumpers are starting to bubble, Dave at Hybrid says its a reaction to the old paint? I said if he had preped the Bumper properly then they would not have reacted so quickly (the paint job is only 6 months old), there are other little problems that he agreed to sort out and he is gonna do them now.
No work done for a while, just waiting for the weather to get better so I can fit some new parts.

Hybrid are taking my car back in after a long chat,.......then Dave was removing some trim from a Golf when it tried to eat him!!! so one trip to A & E later and he has his arm in a cast because the Golf Bite broke his arm :(
Sucks for him and sucks for me as I had started to strip trims & other parts off the car.
Hopefully he will be ready for it in 4-6 weeks time????

Car goes in for the finishing touches to the paint work this week.

Had an interesting weekend, a nice Sunday drive and the brakes decided to lock on the front & rear of the car only on the left hand side, oh and the car pulling hard to the right after releasing the brake pedal quite a bit of heat and smoke later I managed to find a layby to have a good look and try and get it sorted, managed to release them enough to get home.
Think its time for new brake fluid and hoses and strip down the brakes to refurb them!
My fault for leaving the car sitting for 3 months no doubt :(
