It rained heavily last night. Its faded already. Think it was just cheap stuff though. Or rain just washed it off.

Ok tried to do the blue smd and it just went downhill. The mfd was being a pain. The centre console wouldnt work and i blew a fuse meaning i had no speedo no rev counter or petrol gauge.

Start work in an hour. Panic stations commenced

Give up with leds till weekend so i have more time. Dash is barely together but my speedo works now phew

All in all. Make sure you hve more then two hours to tackle a led upgrade.

Oh it got the heart beating a bit lol

Buying some alloys tomorrow so little trip down Middlesbrough tomorrow before work and i should have a set of cheap alloys for now. Gonna refurb and paint black

[Teastick]

Also ordered some linseed oil to restore plastics and a heatgun to assist the debadge when i get round to it

And now for the good news just arrived home from Middlesbrough. Popped to local parts shop for primer paint lacquer and sand paper. Then popped over to halfords for some masking tape

Theese are my wheels

Hopefully gonna take my time to make theese wheels nice. I rushed my last ones. Sanded primered painted and lacquered in one day and they turned out mint. So if i take my time i should get a nice finish fingers crossed

Sounds good! i would love to spray mine and refurb them as they are looking poo at the moment but i dont have any other wheels to put on while im doing it... no steelys are coming up for sale close enough for me to buy them.. aha

[Teastick]

Thats exactly why im keeping my steelies haha surely you can pick up steelies for really cheap of ebay or gumtree. Or go to a scrappy

Before i started any work on my wheels i needed to tidy the garage as it was a tip from previous owner.

Two hours later i have this

Also made a makeshift spray area with masking tape an black bags so i dont get paint on the walls and floor as landlord wouldnt be happy

Masked one wheel ready for sanding but uts time for work so got to wait till tomorrow to do the rest. But garage is sorted so i can crack on with wheels

Also i dont have a socket for my centre cap bolts. Anyone know where i can get one ? Its the three pronged kinda bolt on standard corsa wheels
