Well the RS500 has been sold today and the guy will collect it in a couple of weeks so now getting ready for a spending spree think the wheels nee sorting after plenty of thought but still cant make my mind up as to which ones to go for either the Compo ML Split Rims or the Image RS replicas split rims last thing I want to do is end up buying 2 sets

Lovely looking car

[Lord Lucan]

Well made my first few orders today namely the new ITG Air Filter JC50 65 getting hard to source now tbh.

Also ordered the Alloy Burton Cam Cover in Black with stainless steel cap screws.

Tonight I am taking out the seats so I can give her a really good clean and then fit a new RS 4 spoke M/sport steering wheel that has been lurking in the garage since it came off the 500 not to sure on whether to completely remove the sound system in it as the sub has to go to make way for the 12 gallon tank aint sure where to buy one from but i know one thing it wont be gartrac giving the cost of it not sure if to go for Pro alloy or Prepfab as the latter do a 20 gallon with in built platform and sump???

Nice one thanks Graham I will give him a bell next week.

Anyway little update for you all striped out the interior and found that the fire wall had a 12" square hole right in the middle of it for the sub woofer speaker, so that slightly annoyed me so then I began stripping out the stereo Amps etc ****ing wiring everywhere then when I had a closer look it was all DIN multi plugs this stuff must of cost the earth when put in as the amp for the head unit was a seperate item dread to think of how much it cost.

Then I set about removing the old fire wall drilled out all the rivets and it was glass fibre filled along the edges home made me thinks but it is completely out now took some doing but I now have a nice clean area to start again. Time to order a new fire wall.

My next job is to cut out the old battery tray that was welded into the boot in the wrong place to make room for the new alloy tank I will be ordering shortly then get the new item in and a new alloy battery tray to locate it properly in the boot as it should of been in the first place.

hey ho well at least I have started to make some inroads into it and am well under way.

Update again soon with some pics of the progress in a few days

[Lord Lucan]

Well ordering the Pro alloy Fueal cell with all the accessories including the VDO Fuel gauge and the ability to fill from the OE petrol filling point here are some pics. I saw one for the first time this weekend and the quality is fantastic....
