I think i've levelled up in the polishing skill to level 2 while polishing my turbo inlet pipe... So much to learn, but i'm impressed with the results


Advice or thoughts anyone?

Way cleaner/straighter/neater than my front end! You had some sort of epiphany (sic?) a while back and sounded like you were hanging up the spanners for good. Something about goals? Good to see you hard at it again, a project i've been waiting to see come to fruition since signing up to AGT.

It was a cost vs. Benefit thing. Never wanted to hang up the tools persay. Then did a typical me and has to be perfect/the best it can be etc and ended up spending about 5000 more than I should have. Oh wells.

Woah blast from the past. Saw a few of your posts on FL last month about the Lynx. Good to see the MX5 still has a good home also.

Laser Lynx! wow, so rare these days

I saw one parked on a street in Hong Kong a couple of years ago, didn't get a chance to take pics

ever thought about doing a Familia Neo front and rear conversion?

Went to instal the new fan belt today. After getting the car in the air with the front wheel off I discovered that the reason the belt failed wasn't that it was loose but that the altenator was loose and about to fall off.
Since it's going in soon for a BPD swap I decided not to bother fixing it.
