😂 there is the lurkers

Started it for the first time in a year and managed to take it a quick test drive down the driveway and back 5 times. The tracking miles is out which is to be expected but it’s quick.

Plenty more to sort before it’s ready to get a full geo and MOT

Got some headlights to try out, waiting on the brackets so just a mock up for now

Wasn’t a fan of the pnm parts lights so sourced my own Chinese specials.

The DRLs have indicator function which might help visibility

The lights must be so much better. Did you make your own mounts?

And....better late than never. That suspension refresh looked 😎

I’ve ordered a set of 3D printed mounts for off a guy on SELOC for £75. Also got stainless brackets for the new clam

The car is far from original so not bothered by the modified look like some people, I’d rather be able to see where I’m going 😂

Nice, it’s going to look/ be great. I think I would get frustrated doing a project this big and the long lead times. Are you keeping it red?

Yea it’s annoying but I keep finding things wrong with the car and want it to be as good as it can be, little things eat away at me.

I’m yet to drive this car on the road after a year and half of ownership, I’m keen to get this sorted asap in time for the good weather.

Keeping it red, I think the Exige suits that colour. I did consider changing it to a flat British racing Green
