| Did a few little jobs last night... Removed the Old Skool sticker from the bumper and quickly polished to remove witness marks  And removed the front over riders so I could fit my recently aquired bra  Also fitting the pan cake air filter, but you've already seen that earlier in this thread!!! (I cannot believe the difference this air filter made BTW... My stock filter must have been starving the engine of air!) | |

| if you re-aligned the bumper you could run the over riders, its because the bumper has been impacted at som point and pushed it back. | |

| Maybe, but I think I prefer it without TBH... The jury was always out on them, so I've taken them off for a bit to make up my mind... The grill will be painted and clear indicators fitted next... | |

| Ok, so, after (another) period of unsuccessfully trying to sell the Westie, I figure it's time to get all those things that bother me sorted out once and for all.... I found a workshop near to me - The Howling Wolf Speedshop - who are going to take the bus in on Friday to have a fair amount of work done... Once the work there is completed, a new canvas is waiting in the wings to be fitted also... Pics will be taken and posted per forum rules and hopefully it will all be sorted in time for the VolksWorld Show in March... Watch this space... | |

| Westie roof being removed, stripped and repainted Front panel from lights to bottom being repainted Door shuts being repainted Inside front doors being painted New door seals being fitted Electric Screenwash bottle and wiring being fitted New horn and wiring being fitted Handbrake being fixed and adjusted correctly Colour coding front grill Fit lower profile front tyres (175/65/R14) to give a nice nose down stance I will then be fitting chrome bumper bolts, new step rubbers, clear indicator lenses and might look at putting the overriders back on... Fit (with the help of the resident EB.com expert, Faux) a new Wagons West canvas will be fitted early March prior to VoWo.. And finally, I'll pop in my Kenwood MD headunit so I have some sounds! And breathe! | |
