So.. Who is going? 
Even with the lack of money, I will definitely be attending! £30 for a full weekend of drinking, camping and laughing... worth every penny!
Overdraft is gone in less then a week. I'm owed nearly £200 still from various people, so hopefully I'll get all that soon. 
If not, theres always the credit car as a temp solution ;) 
I honestly cant wait for this! Travel down on the Friday, get camping sorted, and then its time to start drinking! 

Brings back memories from the previous years that I've been.. 

Well, with less then 4 hours to go now, I'm getting very nervous! I have had more offers yes... but still no one has bidded! 

Well, not long left until the car hopefully goes! 
I currently have 102 watchers on ebay, which may just be a load of mates, waiting for it not to sell! 
I have had some crazy offers, the most recent, is a Vectra!
Someone came around to view the car, and is very interested. But they currently have their car on ebay, and its set to end after mine. Hopefully for them, no one will bid, and they can have the Audi. We'll just have to see. 
I've already been looking around for a replacement car, something small and fun, and I'm desperate for a Clio 172/182. I think they looking really nice standard, and should do me a couple of years.

Well its been a long time coming, but I made a start on taking parts off the car. It wasn't as hard as I thought.. I tend to get emotionally attached to things very easily, and with me loving my car, I thought taking parts of would get to me. 
I know a lot of people who go through a lot of cars.. They modify them, then sell them, and get a new toy. I 'm the opposite, I buy something, and keep it for as long as I can .. which has always been the wrong thing to do, now that I look back and see my track record. Its not good..
The Ibiza Cupra nearly skinted me, £10 a day to get to work and back.. The Audi A4 was literally falling apart, and could of killed me! And now the A3, which has been broken more times then its been fixed. 
So far I've took off the rear lights, Headunit, steering wheel, gearknob, floor mats and parcel shelf. Those have been sold and made me a bit of money. All being replaced with standard parts. I will then get it put on eBay. Was going to advertise it locally first, but thinking I'll just bite the bullet and get it put on there. Once its gone... then its gone. Oh, and now I'm back at work.. fun!

Well got a tiny bit more done tonight. Nothing major, but every little helps I guess!
Firstly, I got an envelope in the post.. and it happened to be the remainder of the white vinyl I needed to finish the shark mouth.. so thats finally all done! looks okay, but it should look a lot better once the rest of the bumper is sprayed. To show the contrast between the black car, white teeth, and grey mouth. I was thinking of putting a shark sticker on my coolant bottle..?
I also got the waterpump off, to find to my surprise, that its a metal impellar. Which is good! I suppose its best to change it whilst I do the belt anyway. Doesn't appear to be anything wrong with it, no cracks etc, but it is a bit stiff when turning.
I put more back on the head as well, just a couple of brackets that I cleaned before hand.
The big task is trying to get a load of people together tomorrow, to get my car in the garage! I would love to get that done, it means I could do a lot more! but I just cant see it happening anytime soon :(

I liked the idea of using the Evo intercooler, something different.. something that probably isn't a common mod to do. But I just dont think its working, I'm thinking of getting a smaller, wider intercooler, the typical 'small universal ebay special intercooler'.
The reasons are... Its new - I dont think the Evo one is holding pressure anymore, and its all bent and twisted.
It has good mounting points - so I can mount it to the crash bar, and it will be further away from the radiator.
I think it makes sense to do this..
Also managed to lock myself out of the car completely tonight! Not cool :( battery went dead and key wouldn't work in the driverside door! Managed to sort it though, so its all good!
Need to really get some bits bought at the end of the month to continue with the engine, Maybe a set of the valves bought, so I can start grinding them in

Well, this weekend wasn't exactly full of excitment for me. I spent most of it in bed, watching whatever films I could download. I recomment 21 Jump Street and Safe House though! Great films..
Saturday night I eventually climbed out of my pit around 8, and went to do a bit more on the car. Found the sheet for white vinyl I've had lying about for the past week or so.
Pictures of sharkmouths got the better of me, and I finally did it..
I've ran out now, so only got half of it done! ordered more from ebay now though so I'll get to all finished wont it arrives. Creating the template was the biggest ballache ever, and something I will not be repeating again! I do feel sorry for the people who are going to spray my bumper, because they have to mask the full mouth and teeth off! oh well haha! not my problerm I guess. Spoken to a mate, and I'm getting some black/grey tint for the foglights, to blend them in a bit more. Yellow just doesn't go with the mouth now. Makes it too out of place!

To make a statement in the car scene, or in life in general, you have to stand out. If you want to be noticed, then you have to be ahead of the times. You need to be willing to be bold, and say 'so f*ck' to anyone who wants to put you down for your choices. You have to be willing to put what is 'expected' of you from the scene to one side, and learn to do stuff for yourself! Which is easier said then done! The reason people ask for ideas is because they are scared to do their own ideas! They are scared that people will judge them, and laugh at them. This is where people are going wrong! People need to be Sheppard's, not sheep! they need to be original, come up with the ideas! To lead the scene, and mix things up a bit!
Make a bold statement.
I have always loved the idea of the shark mouth. Not because its different, but because its make a statement, to shun all those scene followers; the people who care what others think! 
As I crashed my car a while ago, I've bought another front bumper for it. The problem is that it is lava grey, and not black. I want to make a statement, and do a shark mouth. I have planned on this for a while, and this does seem like a perfect opportunity. I want to have the mouth as the lava grey, and spray the rest of the bumper black.. to match the car. The teeth are going to be done black, but are also going to be reflective. I wanted to put my own twist on the shark mouth, and not directly copy someone else. With the engine rebuild going to cost me a fair amount of money, this is going to be the last thing I do now though. which is a shame, as it was all booked in for the end of the month!
