After what you tried to do last time you were behind me

I'm going to Paris for a few days, coming back NYD.

Well Sam's just give the bumblebee the kiss of death by saying that nothing needs doing....

I suppose this list is what I'd like to do mixed with what I have to do;

- Wait for new front springs to arrive from Fiat.

- New belts / pump / possibly modified pulley

- New rear wheel bearings

- Fit uprated speakers and sound deadening

- New bonnet struts

I'm going to stop now or the list could get really big and I'd just get depressed.

New Year, new look.

that will look superb!! you know when you've been tangoed!!!

Mines a bit of a wish list also.
Take the coupe to the uk and let Joe give it the big once over.
Meaning suspension,all running gear,hoses and pipes,aux belts.(cambelt has been done).Service.
Pick up refurbed set of wheels with track tyres fitted.
That is all definatly happening.
But if funds allow it may get a full respray while in the uk.
Also a possible map.

Colour change or refresh?

I cant make my mind up. Inside the car it is near mint,Tan leather on 50,000 miles.Outside is tatty,as it was in London and got lots of little knocks plus it needs a new passenger door.If its all done in the original coulor(wine red) i will have a minter.But i have been looking at some unusual paint jobs,and my G/Fs uncle is a specialist sprayer ie artwork/murals etc. Just not sure though.

keep it going for as long as possible, whilst spending minimum possible, and buy a new bike!

dust over respray cada 1 kit
if i can find one a carbon replacement clutch
lancia delta high flow racing oil pump
new larger oil cooler
25mm cambelt kit
balance shafts removed
black leather interior

maybe if funds are available
full bottom end rebore and forged pistons and new crank
posibly a roller bearing turbo

KW coilovers
Seam welded front subframe
Front/Rear anti roll bars
New brakes all round/finish off my big rear brake conversion
New turbo
Engine rebuild
Possible respray

The list goes on

In january I'm going to book into poweritalia for service (will need coolant hose of death, turbo oil feed pipe and few other little bits), cambelt change and blueflame exhaust. Thats going to be pretty much it I feel as thats going to be over a grand..

I really dread to imagine how much more mine will have cost me by this time next year, so I'm passing on this one.

i know what you mean bob - my list is purely for january...

Mine reads gt2871r turbo, grp bonnet, new LE grill, as much of the car resprayed as possible, new wheel bearings, a service, fresh underseal and maybe an M3 spoiler.

New kitchen and new floor in the front room. Oh hold on that is what I should be spending my money on, not the car. It will be an expensive year boo hiss.

a new clutch which went on me just before christmas lunch! my shopping list is getting bigger by the day!
