Just thought I'd post pics of my dad's shop where all the work goes down. We both have put good alot of time and money in it overtime. The lift was the best investment we both could of made. We have about every tool you would need to get anything done.

My dad is a Volkswagen/ MG buff. He used to work as a VW mechanic in his youger days. I'll post pics of his cars/ projects later.

Yeah pretty jealous right now....I get to try and work around in my single car garage. Its a nightmare.

It is nice. If you didn't live so far you could come over anytime to do work.

Added a block off plate to my oil cooler today. Works perfect now. But with the GA summer coming (because it seems we skip spring here) it will probably be removed then. For more info on this install check out my DIY link. I also cut away some of the undershroud for easy removal or added more air flow if needed. You will also see in some of the pics the little blue prybar I'll use to assist if I had to lower the plate on the go for more airflow. Plus you will need gloves for it does get pretty hot. Aslo I will be painting/ powder coating this flat black.

nice work!

Are you going to paint the block off plate to make it a bit less conspicuous? I am extremely jealous of your lift set up by the way!

Yes I will. I want to powder coat it flat black along with my tow hook. But I won't be riding around with it in though. The lift is the best investment my dad and I made together.

Thanks for the comments

I got around to drilling some holes in my rear panels for easy adjustments to the rear dampeners on my coilovers. Then just installed a couple of rubber garments to give it a little better look. Here you go.

Stay tuned soon. I should be ordering late next week a sport brake kit with Carbotech pads, OS Giken LSD (a must), and Uprev.

^^ good purchase, out of the manual 370's i've driven, i could feel a difference in the one i drove that had it (Dai's), granted i didn't drive it before he got it installed. helps modulate the clutch much better imo
