Harwood's 2005 Corolla T-sport - stuff.

I feel the same about that sticker, its offensive in my eyes.

thats one of the reasons i find it offensive

come on lads, its not meant to offend, more to be taken in jest.

JEST???
Fail

one of my favourite gifs of all time, i like to try to imagine what is goinf through the cats mind

Yeah dude I think that sticker needs swapping. I don't think may Japanese people would think it was funny !!

Got bored of engine plastics so I've taken the engine cover off and started to shine it up.
Couple of hours with wet and dry tonight got me this!


Gonna buy a dremmel tomorrow to save me some time and get into the tight spots!

nice work, how far you going to go with it, mirror shine?

I love what your doing with this 'rolla you don't see many of them done so tastily. what grade of paper did you go down too to get it to this finish ?

To be totally honest i have no idea what grade the paper was, it jut said fine on the back, was a few scraps i had laying around the house. thanks for the kind words, its far from finished yet, just looking for some tasty new shoes for it!

i've been and picked up a dremmel this morning so will be getting to shining it up properly this afternoon, just gotta finish my last essay for uni EVER

ive heard of a few people getting them chrome dipped, from memory it wasnt that expensive.

i know how you feel dude! finishing last few assignments for my HNC and a couple of month's away from finishing my 4th and final year of my apprenticeship!

well hopefully ill not have to go to the extent of chrome dipping it, cant afford to have it off the road to send off somewhere! and there will be a sense of achievement when i've done lol.

talking of sense of achievement, im well happy i've finished my degree! looking at getting a 2.2 or a 2.1 in Bsc(Hons) Music Technology & Production

Mate the day I finished Uni everyone just went mad, soon as that final Exam was over !

2.2 is a walk in the Park aim for a 2.1 to make your effort worth it in the long run.

Actually aim for a 1st all the way!

i never really expected anymore than a 2.2, im dyslexic, so suck at essays, but i've done some calculations and as long as i get 4xD's and 4xC's for my final year i've got a 2.2, i expect ill have done better than that so a 2.1 is realistic

Yh just keep at it now you have got this far!

fck it buy cider and get pissed everday over the park

been back at the sanding today, looking a lot better, doesn't look much better in the picture as it was getting dark, but you get the idea,

getting there!

de-stickered and cleaned up the car today. probably be ditched by time we get from derby to brum!

nice shiny oil cap turned up today, just waiting on a couple more bits and project 'engine bay spruce up' can begin!

liking how this is coming along
