Shockingly, I waxed it. Yep, me - waxing. Not done that for best part of ten years. And afterwards, I remembered why I stopped doing it too.....

Well I've been buzzy again for a change. Actually having a month off work gives you a perfect excuse.

Rear shocks fitted
Front adjustables modifed and fitted and
Rear number plate light fixed to work and re fitted
Rear number plate cover carbon covered
All rear grease nipples greased up.
Carb dampers and swirl pots re oiled.
Car rego'd
Car test run
Front shocks re adjusted and stiffened

And the last three days I've rubbing her down trying to do a bit of paint correction.

Hopefully ready for the wedding.

Are you in Australia by any chance? They're the only people I've heard use the word "Rego" before.

Air filter by K+N, Exhaust by Japspeed, Brakes by Mintex......... And a scuffed rear arch by my sister. Huh

Fitted the LS400 discs and brakes, as well as 9.5mm spacers. Not entirely confident that the wheels will stay on, but it's only for 24 hours until the bigger studs go on.

18", 5mm spacers were not enough, 8mm would probably do it but I had to go with whatever Halfords had in stock.
