Update - According to my log iv kept so far, this is day 15 of doing things/working on Kei. To say she is feeling more complete is an understatment!

First out as per usual - Big shout out to the Thacko! 8am Sat morning Start.. F T L haha! But it gets work done So its all good with me! Then thanks to Kyle! For getting out his bed to go grab us bacon rolls for breakfast! Legend ^_^ Even IF he kicked crap outa me and had left me with a dead arm STILL! jew ¬_¬' haha. Oh and also cheers to Fudi and Emma for popping up to say "Howdy do?" - Sorry the DVD's took so damm long.

Now .. Well first things first, Get the lights back on. This couldnt have been possible without Thacko getting the headlight stays/ FMIC brackets all painted up nice and solid!

As you can see.. Bolted on perfect, and the finish on the lights really comes into play in the day time showing!

On with the rear Dmax tails to find.. I need 2 new Reverse lights - Off i went to get some. Plugged it all in to find the only working light.... is ONE of the reverse lights - The LED's got fully tested prior fitting to ensure the LED's were working, So its a wiring fault within the car. Not a problem, Thacko's mate Ian will be along to sort that mess out shortly (fingers crossed!) hehe.

Also while she was in this state i decided to go over the whole car and take care of the Surface rust and give it a find spray up.

Then the HKS needed to come off.. As you can see, with the car being so low.. It ripped one of the OE hangers off and cause that HUGE hole (Circled red) - This is currently in the miata and Mr Thacko San will be sorting it out no problem!

Kyle obviously misses some power in his life Kei Chan > Kyle San haha!

New Stickers are always a win!

When Kyled turned up I decided that mess needed sorted! STAT! So i picked up the primer and went over the surface rust with some rattle!

The look on kyle's face was a picture tbh haha! Aw.. It'll be alright dude

Time to give her the first bath in nearly 5 months! Woot.. Over quickly with a clay bar and she was cleaming!

Time to Sticker up the DC2

And lastly.... This was thacko's idea.. that i stole haha! Sorry holmes..

Arigato! Cant wait till next time tbh!!!

Nice photography skills u've got there~

btw, what's with all the antennas sticking out of the car? (bumper, rear windscreen and rear plate) do they serve any purpose, or is it just cosmetic? =/

 

[mint]

wow, thanks for the comments all! The front one is a Parking Pole, Its 100% Functional instead of cosmetic (As i know alot are gonna rip me for it. However i care very little..)

The rear's are Arial's to pick up TV Signal. And the 2 on the number place are just tie wraps lol.

So happy its done, I just need to man up with some wheels now As my offset is herra weak Needs it sorted out stat! But MOT first, then slammage!

Well it failed the MOT. Due to rear fog light bulb not being bright enough.. unreal. Sat around from 8.30am till 5.30pm to get it MOT'd. Too late for teh DVLA so went in past the Ex Mrs's and got it taxed online.. stung again.

Feels fantastic to be back in the car, however my suspension needs corrected big time. Far too high up and just dosnt feel right. Alas.. Its now snowing It was hard enough keeping it in a straight line in the rain yesterday let alone in the snow >_<' Im so not used to it anymore
