Too be honest mate I have started to build yet all I have done is totally strip it all! I have no interior in it, absolutely nothing in the back, the front is probably nearly there, well probably 50% there :lol:

I think I just got my holiday approved.... So I will have a week to put it all back together do you think it can be done?! I'm starting to get s bit wary about whether a week will be long enough :lol:

I just hope it all goes back together aswell as it came apart :lol: that reminds me to get that bolt kit from jg!

This weekend driving lees and jimmys car has made me get right back into the vx... Last month or so I was umming and arrring about wether I made the right decision or not as you can imagine the amount of money that I have had to spend on all the parts etc is pretty scary and for the moment the respray is out the question

But when it is finished it will be such a relief and I am really looking forward to driving it gain it's been well other 6 months now :lol:

right with a bit of a hangover yesterday, i decided to work on the vx and set about stripping me parts down :lol:

so went about taking discs, arb, brake lines off (calipers are alerady off and sold!) ended up cutting down a beloved alan key to make it ALOT easier to take the arb top mount bolt out :) droplinks came out a treat and are in good nick if anyone wants them ;) unfortunately i think i have elise arb uprated mounts though (big block ones) so will have to get some of these ordered up.

When to fit the new drilled and grooved 308mm discs, and the bolts came flying out, i love this car :wub: then fitted the brake lines and went to fit the 4 pots but the new caliper bolts i have are too short :( so will order them aswell!

but here is a cheeky photo for ya!
