Picked up my custom stainless tophat last night. It looks lovely  Can't wait to get it fitted to the car this weekend.

| Very little updates I'm afraid (not that anyones really bothered). Thrown my dummy out of the pram with it tbh
On driving home from picking up my tophat I burst a fuel line in the engine bay.  
A week later I pretty much got that back together. Then decided to fit my new top hat last week, but managed to **** up the TB in the process. Got a new TB for it last night so will fit that sometime next week probably  | |

|  She hasn't turned a wheel since the 18th! tbh though; it's a waste of time anyway in the condition the roads are around here at the moment, so it's not like I'm missing anything anyway | |

| From the way it's rubbed the paint off the bulkhead, there's been some serious rubbing going on.

| Wooh, another long time since any updates. I've got a few pics to upload; mainly of my custom tophat, which is awesome 
Bought an Omex rev limiter/launch control (just for the fun of things) and fitted that. It's good fun, although it doesn't pop and bang as much as I thought it might
Took the car out for a jaunt last weekend, and low and behold it had a word with itself again. It seems that there was another airleak somewhere  I'd had enough with messing about so decided to remove the inlet. From start to finish only took me 20minutes Bought a new inlet for it, and new icv complete with gasket set. I just need to get it all back together now.
Oh, just ordered my polycarb window set, complete with sliders in the front. My GRP tailgate should *crosses fingers* be coming next weekend. And I'm getting a mild form of sponsorship for the car, so within the next fortnight it's going to be covered in livery | |

| Again, no updates from me for a while. There'll be one tomorrow.
GRp tailgate has arrived, and bolts straight onto the standard hinges, which is nice  Just need to get that painted. Livery has arrived and is half fitted, will finish that tomorrow. Tophat is all now fitted with silicone hoses so looks abit better too. I'll get some pictures up tomorrow | |

| £150 the stickers cost (although I didn't pay for them; autovaux did). Purely depends on the quantity of the vinyl that's on the car though etc etc | |
