Already spring is on the way

so

what are your plans for your F or TF this spring to get ready for summer?

To get things started.

1) I need to rescue my battery from Mrs TC's ZR
2) "glue" the HRW if this glue works
3) sort the slow puncture on the O/S/R
4) replace the calipers all round
5) possibly do new discs if needed
6) buy and ft braided hoses
7) fit stainless mesh for the front
8.) something similar for the back but proberbly not mesh
9) perminatly fit ctek
10) get the kerb dropped
11) fit heated seat pads
12) fit alcentara seats
13) update ICE
14) MOT

If work comes in

200bhp + engine
sell alcantara seats an get some reclining bucket seats
300mm rear discs
re-map which ever engine is in
fix slow puncture
Fix the switches for auto an manual spoiler

Sell my silver F, its not show room but solid an drives really well, started everytime first time even in -18

Finally get the brake upgrade fitted!
Give the paintwork a good sorting/ detailing
I think that's about it, to be honest.

Take delivery of my MK I F from the UK (patience grasshopper-Only a Couple More Weeks!)
Take delivery of my hardtop from the USA and Paint it to Match
Fit 52mm TB and Pipercross Viper Induction
Fit Front Splitter
Fit Lexus style taillights
Fit Clear Marker Lights
Swap in Silver MK II & Paint Cowl to Match

And...We'll see what else the car needs when it gets here!

(Lets hope that I don't have to use the HG set and Timing Belt kit I have on hand!)

Cheers,
Rich

Finish painting my subframe



Oh, and find the front of my car

Heated seats are now top of the list but without a garage it will have to wait for sunnier weather.
Still thinking about new lights - probably the black Lexus style
Paint the petrol filler surround and hockey sticks
Giving serious though to M3 style door mirrors with built in indicators

But all this depends on how much spare time I get when the small crying waste production machine arrives in March.

The weather isn't a big issue - I removed my seats in the rain and refitted them whilst it was sheeting down. All the hard work was done in the comfort of my living room watching TV and drinking guinness It's the best mod I have done and wouldn't have done it without Davids guide.

Good luck on the mirrors, finding a suitable donor is the hardest thing (I continually look at folded mirrors on cars in carparks I am in for suitable ones).
