henryp's new awakening

[tico_ek9]

nice work...keep us updated

 

[henryp]

She's home!

Put a few things on since she's been back ; door handles, skirts, wing mirrors, door strips and rear plate holder
I was so excited when I picked her up, can't wait to have her all back together, although I'm going about 1mph doing everything so I don't slip and scratch anything

More updates coming over the weekend hopefully...
HND ASSIGNMENT? NAAAHH I GOT TO PUT THE EK BACK TOGETHER!

proper way to refresh a car ! cheers !!

She's 95% back together, the windows are being fitted on Tuesday!
I've found 2 patches of paintwork which have been flatted down, but then missed with the buffer. Only very small areas, but being **** as I am, I noticed them when it was in the garage..
I've been talking to Jim from WhiteDetails and I think I shall be taking the EK9 to him for a good session to finish her off ASAP !
Fitted the lower control arms and tie bar! (The keen eyed will notice the anti roll bar is missing - I'm waiting for new drop links)

Putting the lip/grill back on the front bumper

Orange repeaters replaced the s**tty clear ones

She's coming along nicely now,
Looked at insurance which has dropped considerably now I'm 21. £650. Makes me laugh when the cheapest I can get insured on my 106 1.1 is £470.. !!?? I don't understand insurance pricing.

ANYWAY.
Hope you're all having a nice weekend!

brilliant progress henry. would love to see this in the flesh at some point. Must be one of the cleanest ek9's about.

Hello.
Decided to change the drivers bolster on the racaro, as it was showing signs of wear and was abit saggy..

Feels loads better after replacing..

Spoon mirror arrived,

She's nearly back together, windows are being fitted tomorrow
