We're out in the cab this weekend and that'll be it for 2011 and the end of another chapter. A little gutted cos 2011 has gone too fast, but we've had a good year and done as much as we can so cant complain.

 

Plans for 2012, a colour change (cant beleive its been white for 2 years) and a change to the interior.

 

Other than that just a good tidy up and maybe try to make it a little faster if we have and time or money left. lol.

Yep. Colour change. Not sure yet but we're thinking the RS green. We need the cab to be "in your face" again.

 

The cream seats are sold now, and will be replace with some black ones. We've got a few ideas but not sure what type yet. lol.

 

I've started stripping / rubbing it down ready to prep for the paint so its too late now.

 

Stripping and prepping a car for paint sound like hard work but I love it. There's nothing major just a few cracks and chips in the fibreglass.

 

I've done this every other year and I never get bored.

Ultimate green, thats the one.

 

It'll be ages before there's anything worth photographing but as soon as there is I'll get em up.

 

All thats been done so far is the rear spoiler off badges, lights and rear bumper. (NB theres a metal mk3 rear bumper under the fibreglass one. That could be worth a mint. lol.)

 

Bodywork wise it aint that bad. I'll prop get away with a small tub of filler this year. lol

 

The only bit I've started flatting is were the fuel filler USED to be. The fibreglass / filler had sunk a little so flattened it off again.

 

I just keep nipping in the garage for half hour here and there if Clare's watching some shit on tele. lol.

The back bumper hides too much. Those tyres look huge without the bumper. lol

 

Looks a bit rough under there but no one sees it. lol

Cheers. I cant wait either.

 

We came back from Tesco shopping last night (about midnight) and while Clare was packing away I stuck my head in the garage for 10 mins. I recon I'm addicted to working on it. lol

To say the last trip out it came back with a show and shine trophy there was a lot thaty needed repairing / sorting.

 

I recon I'd be bored this time of year if I didnt have the cab to do.
