Well before Man of Kent starts spamming my thread with pics of his 'pimpin hoes' i best post an update
This is how the old barge currently looks, in all her glory at the national meet
The wheels are my favourtie mod so far, theyre 16x8 BMW wheels redrilled and refurbed, cost abit but look the same as the old senator alloys only more meatier
Also fitted these opel badges to the bonnet and wheels
I had the rear bumper modified to match the front, by adding the lower half of a GSi bumper to the standard rear bumper. Was an absolute pig to fit according to my bodyshop friend but looks the part once i had it sprayed to match, this meant i also had to modify the exhaust tail pipes, look better hidden under the bumper.
The tailgate had gone rotten so replaced this with one i got from Carlton_Mad/Murph, while it was being painted i removed the tailgate wiper and washer assembly to give it a cleaner look
wasnt all fun and games though, a few months back the indestructable 12v decided to let go in a big way, by stripping down the old engine i can only guess the head gasket blew, filled the cylinder with water which it couldnt compress, so the conrod tried to escape out the side of the block
Luckily on ebay there was a senator being broken with a 12v goldtop so was easy to replace, have kept the cylinder head from the old engine in case i may need it in future
Finally recently i upgraded the tired front discs and pads to black diamond grooved discs and fast road pads which feel alot better
didnt go completely to plan though as one of the sliding pins had siezed and sheared when i tried to free it off
And thats it for another year, MOT coming up soon but future plans include window tinting (need to fix a window motor first) and then a respray maybe
