On to the mods, removed my window trims to paint them.
Its not a hard job but you need to take your time and be patient.

Tools of the trade.

Waars die prentjies Chom?

Did you not fit the grills and trims back?

Hey chom.

I left the goods for an extra day to cure cause of the cold weather, it is Epoxy paint so it takes a bit longer to harden.

Saturday night I wanted to set the car alight.

On the way to a car event it left us stranded next to the road, waterpump packed up, a common problem on the N54 motors, although expensive repair, and only having done 400km with the car I was quite upset.

Sunday morning I got started on the car.

Was shocked at the water that was drained.

After about 3 hours of wrenching the Thermostat and Waterpump was out.

In the process of sourcing a new one.

After this was done I enjoyed a few beverages and moved on to the calipers.

New OEM parts collected last night.
Waterpump and thermostat.
Started assembling last night but the one pipe was a real Zuma, so need to remove pump again to connect the pipe first, will hopefully be up and running by tonight.
