Looking good, atleast someone is doing something with cars.
I keep meaning to do a bit more on the Camaro. I'll get the flags in the T/A and fuelled up ready for tomorrow at Beaulieu in a bit.

A long long time ago I got some seats for the Trans-Am from a 1995 TA in Kent. well around the same time I got door switches. This was back in Jan 2018. They were sitting on my desk at work for about a year, been working from home for a year and a half, lol.
Thought I have 5 mins spare and I'll swap them over. Dont know what it took me soo long.

I didn't take photos during the swap. This is my old one. The reason for the change is when you press the lock button it fell through the hole. It could be fixed. I'll keep it as a spare.

What causes that to come off? too hot, too lean mixture? If its done that to the plugs wonder what the tops of the pistons look like.

Today I picked up Lily from having her quarter lights and back window tinted to 5% plus PPF film place on the front end to stop those pesky stone chips. Amazing service from Amigo Wraps in Segensworth, would highly recommend

I wish, took it to Hayling Garage after picking her up and she doesn't like generic parts so they are having to now order the specific MOPAR brand so hopefully they will now arrive by the end of the week to get her sorted. Can't fault the guys at Hayling Garage at all they have been really nice and more than happy to take her there again and again

2 weeks ago I had the dreaded ABS sensor go on my passenger front wheel. Took to Hayling Garage where we have found out that darling Lily likes MOPAR parts and that is it!!! I can't recommend the guys at Hayling Garage enough - so helpful and not a hint of she is a girl lets treat her like a bimbo which unfortunately I still get a lot of! Will definitely use them again!!!!!!

Pick of the offending sensor - it is supposedly a known problem with the Challengers

I will be honest I really don't know but it is now sorted and we know for it the future. It was just really annoying as stopped me using different features in the car which make life that little bit easier

Every day I am continuing to learn more and more about her and in the end I see that as a good thing! I am a lot more used to ships than cars but I will get there and at least I am willing to learn

I've put the Grand Prix on eBay
I would like to keep it, but could do with the money and space. Also, having a car to use for shows has made me not bother finishing the Firebird.
