	nice work! I really don't know what it is with this car, its just cool in an uncool way! Perhaps it's because it has styling that wouldn't look out of place on Captain Scarlet. Also, having just looked at not2grand (very good, I shall look into it further!) can you clarify what the boot carpet looks like?

This is just a 'proof of concept' with one that was destined for the tip. I'll buy a new one and do it properly. Chris

	Loving a car that is so.......bland based on a previous car that was bland that it is now very cool Last time i did a steering rack gaiter (88 mk2 Rocco) i covered the tie rod ball joint with a small plastic bag, used silicone release spray and just stretched the boot over without problems, good ones are very stretchy. Whenever I count turns to remove the ball joint and put the it back on it always seems to bollerx the tracking in a weird wtf way.

	Not a great deal to report, other than I have been putting some miles on the old girl and it's been an absolute delight. it was running a bit rough, but a new rotor arm and a clean up of the points seems to have cured that. There won't be a lot happening now, as we have to get the annoyance of Christmas out of the way. Once that's done, though, I'll be cracking on with the tweaks. there will be custom-made springs to lower it, the wheels are being banded, and there will be some slight visual tweaks. Nothing in your face, just subtle stuff. Until then, have some pictures. Chris

	So..... I've just found your not 2k website and it's cool!! I've found the sticker to buy but it looks a lot bigger than the one on the back on your Proton. Is it actually or is it the same size?

	Have you considered satin black on the door frames at all? It makes me so happy to see this little survivor here, especially with the original wheels and that fantastic green colour.
