70/30 against, if we want to run full power.

80/20 for, if we turn the boost down.

We'll be there:auto:

its been a while since we have done any work to the car mainly due to me doing loads of work at the house, this included clearing the area next to the garage and converting a fence panel to gates so i can have my sierra GT out of site.

couple weeks ago i drove the car to work and back and on my way home the OS front spring snapped, needles to say i was a bit miffed about it but when i backed the car onto the drive i broke the evo bumper in half so that is in the process of being repaired.

we had our mot recently and noticed that the inner TCA was looking a little past its sell by date so i ordered new ones along with ARB bushes

this is the spring that broke, it was only the last bit of the pig tail so not to bad

Paul used some my line marking paint and sprayed one of the allys were
getting stripped and we have decided on blue, what you guys think?
we also offered up the cossie arch kit on the front as well

we also bought some bucket seats today so pics of them soon

At first glance I wasn`t sure on the blue wheels but the more I look at them the more they are growing on me.

It was a good weekend, sun was out, hanging out with your mates and messing around with cars.
I've found a local alloy wheel refurb company that will chemically dip and strip the alloys for

well the bumper has now been repaired after i damaged it

the middle that broke at the bottom
Image

the repairs to the bottom, top and mounting points that all broke
Image

instead of painting the bumper i decided to vinyl wrap if as it much
cheaper than spraying it up and looks loads better to

vinyl placed over
Image

heat wrapped into place
Image

then it was time for the big middle section
this was a challange as it required alot of heating to get it wrapped round the
fiddle edges, needless to say i kept burning my fingers with the hair dryer
Image

the end result, there are a few bubbles to sort out to finish it off so
im hoping that wont take to long.

comments welcome;)

Looks like a reasonable effort Bart......the conformity of the vinyl looks a bit 'challenging' so I think you did really well to get it fitted in one piece like that; fair play mate :thumbs:
