Dave_Gilbert

as the title suggests jobs i need to do before i go to pvs this year

1: fit new drivers seat(i bought it before pvs last year n didnt get round to it)🙁

2: paint calipers but not sure on colour, i want it to look standard but i dont want bright red or blue so

i like the copper or the orange as its not silly bright n looks standard ish, whats your thoughts?
3: find the squeak n nock iv got from the front left leg(think its strut top)

4: refurb wheels in metallic grey, i priced paint up at the local auto factors today at £65

4: try out my demon shine snow foam, clean inside and out

dumping them in a gateway lol
i think the rear 2 are fine for reuse but one needs a puncture repair only issue with that is i used expanding foam on it because of the screw in it
fronts have about 4-5k left but running down on tread quick

Dave_Gilbert

i ment the wheels mostly not the tyres :ROFLMAO:
