Yeah, the front end looks amazing, but then it should, it should look like new after the work, if it didn't it would be going back.

Today I changed the spark plugs, the thermostat, bleed the coolant system and fitted the slimline fan, she running well now. I also washed her and cleaned the bay, I took some photos but they came out blurry so I'll have to take some more tomorrow.

Thanks, I missed her too

I missed her loads. I took one of mates for a good run in it on friday night, he loved it, was very imprssed with the performance. Its so so good to be driving it again.

Just some more random photos, the paintwork shines so well now that it seems to come out sort of whiteish in a lot of photos as it reflects all the light. (e.x. the fourth pic down, it should be a nice bright red but it comes out as a bit dull looking, its even worse in the sixth one). Does anyone know how I can avoid this when taking photos?

As usual I am still not totally happy with it, I have more cleaning to do and I still want the bay to look even neater. But when you seek perfection you can never really satisfied as there will always be something else to do.

Opinions Welcome.

I was going for this look, after seeing this car I wanted my bay to look as good, imo I think mine is now better as there are less wires and clutter in mine. (Although with his being black the wires and stuff tends not to show up)If only the rest of my car was as good as this one. I need to get some proffesional photos taken of mine.
