seeing a this is now an upgrade thread, have you considered strapping on a turbo yet :d :d :d

Ermmmmm, yes :p

I need to recover from the build first though!

have you been looking at complete bolt on kits or you gonna find a specialist? surely you should be doing the work yourself :d

I have not done any research on it darve

I think smokeymow has looked into turbos/chargers before though.....

In my disgust with the current weather, I decided to do an upgrade :d

A few weeks ago I got a nice piece of carbon fibre from Mick, so I decided to put it to use today and make a lid for the boot.

I picked up some cabinet keyed alike locks the other day, and today I picked up some easy fix concealed cabinet door sprung hinges.

So after lots of cardboard templates, careful measuring, cutting and fettling, this is the end result

I am quite pleased with the end result :)

New game for the weekend. How much carbon can we fit in you're car and how much will still be there by the time you make it home?

Still need to pester Cleggy though; I miss seeing the old Spyder coming together, (and apart, and back together) ;)

ahh the spyder is safely tucked away in the shed - as mentioned before the Westy is taking up my time and most importantly enjoyment

looking forwards to times when work isn't quite so time demanding

...............

well done with the car m8 - she/he looks fab
