eldavo69 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 It looks gold in the picture but silver in the metal. Yours looks gold all the time!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torino101 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Having never seen the car in the flesh only in photos I assumed it was gold. It never looks silver in ANY photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldavo69 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 It's Zermatt Silver and it varies between a warm silver to more of a champagne colour depending upon the light. It looks more like the first ring pic than the second put it that way. (Jeez - I now sound like garçon trying to defend his gold car) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldavo69 Posted September 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Realised that my power steering pump was coming loose because one of the mounting holes had lost its thread. Had both the holes helicoiled for good luck and re-fitted the pump. It now feels the most secure it has done under my ownership so fingers crossed that that's now sorted. I took delivery of these: http://9products.com/caster-block and will fit them over the winter months along with more polybushes and another geo setup. I also fitted a strut brace which won't really do anything on the road but on track with sticky tyres I could feel a bit of movement from the front end in hard corners. Still not convinced by the Cup1 wheels and considering selling them on rather than refurbing them first - decisions, decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theduisbergkid Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 I'm a bit surprised at your recent cosmetic mods, Mr El Davo, they're a bit... special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldavo69 Posted October 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Haha, love it! Still better than some of the tat "autograph cars of Wakefield" turn out though. I have made a couple of mods to the beast but be damned if I can upload the pictures from my phone - tapatalk made it very easy to do so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldavo69 Posted November 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) A long overdue update. Fitted a Seat Cupra R splitter (shown post. Oulton Park trackday covered in filth): Unfortunately, the day before Oulton Park I was unceremoniously rear ended by a granny in a Nissan Juke: Luckily, (daddy pig mode on) I'm a bit of an expert at imperceptible bodywork repairs: Although I did have a few questions to answer at a wet Oulton Park, so let the car speak for itself: Edited November 29, 2013 by eldavo69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldavo69 Posted November 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) Despite my amazing skills I figured I should get a second opinion on my work, not sure whether he understood the brief as his work seemed more obvious than mine: There were a couple of "while you're in there" jobs to be done too, but again not exactly subtley blended paintwork: Edited November 29, 2013 by eldavo69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldavo69 Posted November 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) After a few days messing about with custard, the Bodyshop guy finally realised the error of his ways and found some paint: Aha, much better - picking it up on Tuesday!

Calm Chris Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Could you fit a camera, and post the next one? As you say you shouldn't need it for long, so go for a temporary mount. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Looking good, has it effectively had a full respray now? Wish I could find a reasonably priced, half decent bodyshop aroud our way, they are either bodge up merchants, or extortionate, need the rear arches sorting on the Scooby, got all the fromt panels being delivered next week finally.

Milo Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Stick a rear-facing one in too, so we can get the full 360° and through-the-hedge effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
