700KM's travelled over the weekend, and took the Monday off for a long (anniversary) weekend,
Took some pictures along the way ;
@ Holiday Inn Express @ Wigan
@ Blackpool!
@ By Gone Times (pretty cool place, if you've never been!)
- Pulled up next to a fellow JDM enthusiast, gorgeous 1990 Silvia, he brought it into the UK from Japan last year, and what a lovely example! His next stop was dropping it off at the MOT station for its second ever UK MOT. Wished him the best of luck before heading inside...
Snapped a few pictures for you fellow enthusiasts before hand!

Hi all, I have a 2002 E51. I absolutely love the vehicle. Today i repainted the wiper arms and fitted new blades. The paint was lifting badly on the wiper arms. But all done now as good as new. Regards, Les No2Thought I'd get this topic underway
It's quite popular on many car forums and is a nice way of highlighting something new you've done with your Elgrand be it a modification, a repair, general maintenance or just took her out for a great drive
Just add to the thread as and when.
Who will start us off?

Spent some time with Ellie before the kids broke up for summer holidays. Restored the headlights, replaced the lightbar back to the Original all red bar (which I prefer now) than the Rider Lightbar, replaced the airbox as looks like it had been melted probably from the last owner and gave her a good wash. Hopefully in a few weeks time I will have full quad Exhaust system. 
Restored Headlights.
Replaced lightbar.......again!!!

Yes I investigated it and it's old but been left. Checked all pipes etc. All new pipes etc. The tape never melted so will see how the new air box holds up. If it does the same, will be something pretty bad.
For now it'll be ok me thinks. 
amazing what some people can do with a sharpie!Another step closer
Not the perfect finish but the lad doing it had to remove ALL the chrome foil as it was pitted all the way through

Just picked up three free 8x4 18mm ply.
Ride back was a little close to the steering wheel but for free I suffered.

When I first left my caravan in France , storage cost 200 euros and I think insurance was 150 , bearing in mind storage in U.K. cost 450 and insurance was 400 , so defo cheaper over there , that was down Atlantic coast , royan
Finally nearly there on the Dognero grill number 2! lol
Wow its taken some man hours but I am pretty chuffed with the end results! I now have to do the one for the Silver Elgrand as this was a test fit due to mine still at the bodyshop! Second time hopefully it will be faster!
