Busy weekend

Hi all,

I've been busy working on my cars this weekend and thought i'd share a few pics.

Basically I needed to swap a few bits over from my old black turbo to the new white turbo. The black turbo is still good but has rust on the arches. I worked out that I dont have the time / know how to repair them to the standard I would like, so I have bought another, in white. I wanted the interior and stainless exhaust (bought from rpruen) fitted to the new car, and the black turbo has been given it's original interior and a normal (although almost new) exhaust.

I'll be selling the black one shortly as it'll make a good car for someone less fussy or as a project. I still like the black colour but I have seen the light, and its white white white!

So this weekend I have swapped over all of the interior (twice), fitted my Momo (whatever it's called, palm beach / daytona, I can never remember!), swapped the exhausts, tcut, clayed and waxed and now i'm knackered.

Fixed the heater element in my drivers seat whilst I was there too.

Looks very good. Can imagine how long you've worked on the car to do this. I was in the same position to choose whether I did get my 480 fixed and resprayed or buy another one. I chose to do the first, but if I had bought another one, it would have been a white one too. I've always liked white on the 480, unlike white on many other types of cars.

Thanks! They still aren't the best photo's. I always drive up to beachy head and by the time i'm done working on the car, the sun is setting and the car doesn't stand out so well.. Anyway, I think it looks pretty good.

It's when you also want the matching carpets that it gets extra work!

Isn't white just the best ? Your car looks great and I think those wheels are just right.
