Facking boring, wish i'd stuck to my original plan and bought a P11, but oh well.
Been a while
Merlin:
GTi back at Bristol
Old wings off
Look at how much mud was behind the arch!
New wings on, mmm
Washed
Can see where rear arches need redoing/finishing, all the overspray needs polishing off etc.
Then this past weekend I've been down in Devon working on 'B1'
Nice new door fitted, but had to remove lock from old door, which I'd removed with the window down
Never mind
Nice doorcard to replace tatty one
Mucking about with the handycam
Suspension removed to swap top mounts

And on miriam I painted the C pillar, which took 2 attempts.
Swapped the motor and arm onto the autech and vice versa so can have JDM TYTE horizontal wiperism.
my cars in love with miriam 
cars are looking great mate

haha well she does need some loving. Hopefully the sale of the P1 GTi will allow some maintenance/TLC (Arches finishing, door rust to remove, refitting skirts, plus servicing, driveshaft, wheel bearings, etc)
Been working hard all weekend
Rich aka Rlees85 came round yesterday for epic suspension swap. To cut a long story short, B2 (Black almera number 2) now has standard P2 suspension, Rich has KYB shocks with Gmax springs, and Miriam now has P2 shocks with eibach springs. Ended up taking about 13 hours in the rain.
Over the moon with them, tracking needs sorting but no more excessive bounce, creaking, and general sagginess.
Height with Eibach springs, just how I wanted it
Swapping Suspension
Rich's new setup fitted
I also did this (But the other side is clean as a whistle)
Then today I went down to devon to finish B1 ready for MOT next weekend.
Pretty much everything is done as far as I can tell apart from the welding it needs finishing. Fingers crossed for next week then I can put it up for sale
As mentioned elsewhere, found out it has had new rear quarters fitted at some point, just like Gizmo (My old GTi)
