Thanks guys. I still love my Beams, but I want something newer/better/faster and there's just not enough room in the garage. I'm not trying too hard to sell it, but we'll see how it goes.

I'm thinking of selling this car now, so if anyone is interested please PM me.
I may consider selling some parts separately, but I won't ship anything so you'll have to collect from my place in Brisba...

Thanks guys.
I haven't progressed past the original photo yet, so I'm still rocking the satin black front and red rear.
I'm still thinking about getting a new 86 when they come out next month. I'm to...

Prep work on the bonnet is going well. There were a few spots where the paint was so poor I had to go back to bare aluminium (especially at the front) but at least the bonnet itself is nice and strai...

Thanks Rusty. I am so glad the noise is gone! It's not just the noise though, the whole front end feels more solid now.
In other news, I think my car will be getting a colour change once the GT-Four...

I've decided it's finally time to get my GT-Four front end fitted.
The bumper was in pretty poor condition when I bought it, with the middle gap squashed down and the little plastic supports broken.

So I've had a chance to give the car a good run with the lighter wheels, and it has made a bit of a difference, but not massive. I can feel that the acceleration is slightly better, but that will als...

Not much has been happening with the Celi lately, but today I swapped my 18" rims for some OEM 7th gen rims. I'm probably going to powdercoat my old rims white eventually, but for now I'll just stick...

Thanks man, I'm happy with it too.
So I still have this creaking sound from the front end, but I think I came a step closer to working it out tonight.
