Sun 6th Feb...

Pretty productive day today

Located the blowing exhaust, its the right hand flexi on the down pipe, its black, dunno how I missed it at college last week...anyway, getting some red fiberglass tomorrow to sort that

Once the exhaust issue was located, my thoughts turned to details...in the form of peanut butter to my bumpers...very pleased with the results, would recomend it to anyone with grey plasics or tired vinal...even the red strip round the grill came up a treat:

Skippy Saved my bumpers


Half done


The finished look (almost)


ran out of light so will be doing the drivers side arches tomorrow...also will be spraying my badges to make all red accents match up Ended up getting the rear badge off without harming it or the clips with a hammer and a blunt centre punch

Final thought....found this water in my boot this morning after yesterdays p*ssing it down festival...seal leaking? Tail lights? And ideas peeps?

could be the back light seals or lights not flush to metal properly. just have to put water over the back of the car and source the leak. bumpers look good though mate

aye, I'll do it tomorrow if its not raining...at least it explains why my car gets so misty inside

I'm bloody pleased with the bumpers...for a £1 tub of awful tasting butter its done wonders...got carried away, did the door handles, mirror housing and spoiler too...now its the paint work that lets him down lol

haha, i need to do mine but am off small bumpers so i'll wait and clean them instead.

aye, you got them yet?

nah am at ma dads so ant picked em up yet, will get the belly pan and all that sprayed up 1st ready for just boltin the small bumpers up. check me updates though tom

Hello all,

Not posted for ages, sorry, been a crappy couple of weeks...

Dont nothing on the car and need to make up for alot of lost time...

less than a month till my MOT now so I'll be focusing on getting him through that

I did however get my badge put back on...



will keep posted on MOT but he WILL be at the meet, although it may be his last lol.

i like the badge, keep klouse going

I do wanna keep him going...but sometimes feel he'de be better in the hands of someone with more money and time

dont do it tom, you'd regret selling up just cos times are hard, thats y i still have neg, me n him go strong.

Dont worry Liam, decided to keep him...

mk1 caddy will be more of a money pit than klause is


mental note, need to get my exhaust sorted!!! Keep putting it off coz I almost like the sound

look for a full system for cheap then mate

dont have money for full system yet, just a quick fix for mot..coils are first then exhaust

sweet mate. i need new coilovers

Spent today doing a few odds and ends in the sun...sorted my squeaking alternator belt, changed my front grill badge and re glued my headling...now I can see my County sticker in my rear view ...its not perfect but its 100's of times better than it was

If the weather holds out, tomorrows plan is sump gasket and exhaust sorted...watch it rain NOW

Looking forward to the meet on sunday, I'm alot happier about how he looks this time round, although I am on the look out for some old steelies that I can spray red...will then swap these and save the BBS RA's for best

Progress is slow atm, been chased by small niggles that is stopping me working on the bigger issues...Although my mrs did sew my seat for me today


Still struggling to get anywhere atm though

Just a short message to say I finally got round to fitting my hazard button and weighted shift rod...

My dash fianlly looks much neater, and my gear changes...man, I can recomend one to anyone, silkly smooth with a proper wieght behind them

See didn't I tell you them shift rods are awesome?

good bolster repair dude.

missed your post about coilovers. mine were £185 from venom. they are wound allt he way down at the front for an 100mm drom and about 85 ont he back. no odea if they are worth the £20 premium over JOM's or not.

if you want to try before you buy feel free to take my car out for a spin
