Right, so after a part we got to fix my car(drive shaft) broke it quite badly she's up and running again(after a new clutch and drive shaft from eBay and a newer gearbox thanks to Ian G). Still loads to do before she's to my liking but she's getting there. :-) I have new dials that look like...

I shall have a look for the guide as I really have no idea how to do them, I was sent a guide on how to change the clock leds by Crazyleds.co.uk which is where I bought my ones. I plan to get a completely different gear knob at some point, possibly after the winter hallmark holiday. :thumbs:

Hey guys, where did you get your new leds and what type are they? Thanks :)

My poor Baz * hugs*

So, I changed the heater panel and fitted the stereo adaptor and my new stereo. :thumbs: Tomorrow will see the drop links, drive shaft and engine mounts changed, or at least as much of it as possible. We're also tackling the rust problem round the rear arches, hopefully it wont look too...

I want to fit a new stearing wheel to my car but I'm not sure if the boss will make it stick up too far. Has any one changed their wheel that could give me advice? :)

Ooooo awesome :) thank you! I think some experimenting with the old one might have to be done. :cheer:

Don't suppose any of you have tried making the green bits on the heater panel a different colour yet? I only ask because we (my other half) was looking to see if it was possible and it's ended up costing him £40 to replace my new panel that he managed to snap. :-( Turns out the green is...

Soooo we changed the other baring today and I remembered to take pictures. This is not what you ant to find but from the noise it was making it was expected. One new, one old and broken. That's both back barings changed and as both were in the same state I'm glad we did it now rather than...

Welcome!!! ^_^

That's what he thought ... About the mount not the sandwich. ^_^ And parts aren't a problem as he works at a motor factors which is lucky for me :p Thanks for the help. :thumbs:

I've got carbon wrap plans for the dash and at some point I'll be spraying the main dash (you know what I mean right?) with plastic dye so that will be matt black. The stereo I have in mind is black with red lights :p Basically I'm getting rid of all the silver stuff and replacing it or making...

Mine will be going black at some point in the near future but thanks for the offer, we can come to some arrangement about the silver heater panel if you want it. :)

It's on hard acceleration and on deceleration under 1500rpm. He says it doesn't feel like the clutch is slipping and that it feels like something else. :/

I've been asked to ask about a chugging thing my cars does, Baz (other half) thinks it may be an engine mount but isn't sure. Does any one have any ideas?

Awesome sauce :D I kinda thought as much but thought it best to ask just to be sure. Thanks ^_^

Awesome thank you! Good luck for Wednesday.

I've agreed with the other half that we will make a list of all the mechanical things that need/possibly need doing before I spend any big money on sparkly things. I'm lucky that he knows what he's doing when it comes to cars and we should be able to do most if not all the work ourselves. ^_^

Okay, so we've changed the left rear baring as it sounded like it needed it and low it was completely smashed up inside. :? I forgot to take pictures as I hadn't even thought about starting a project feed. >_< Plans are a foot to change the right rear too just to make sure that's not smashed...

I bought my 1.7 from Ebay for £650 and for what I got that was a damn good price. Travelled to Great Yarmouth to get her in the pouring rain then drove her back home (3+ hour drive) ... I should add at this point I can't actually drive her properly yet as I've only got a provisional licence...
