Ditto and wheel choice please
I should be able to get it started on Thursday would of been tomorrow but I have college :(
Just need to wire fuel pump to loom and sort the filler neck :)
No idea on wheels tbh, the thing with the ones I have, there different and would make my Sport stand out from the rest, I need something like that really but in a friendly offset
I still might get a set of Compomotive CXN's but they're not unique lol

Edd
Looking good mate.
Edd - spankers!!
Easily be ready for Billing then!
That is very nice..:thumb:
Love the genuine parts boxes/bags..
Happy memories..
Good shots of the progress Edd. I'm loving the car more & more everytime I work on it with you. I cant get enough of the sound either, the exhaust note is sexual. Just a shame we cant take her out & run the engine in!
Want a pic of my diesel? You'd cry lolQuote:

Is this not finished yet:roll:
I know what it's like everything you get our of storage is dirty or needs painting or looks shabby against the new painwork;)
Except the new GM stufflol
Coming on well Edd;)
Keep at it, would like to see it sometime this yearlol
Liking the additions dude :thumb:
Edd Its looking realy good, when do you think it will be on the road??
Cheers for the comments everybody :)
I have no set date when I want it on the road, I would very much like it done for Billing, but will have to wait and see tbh
looking good chap! is that my old bumper? :)
Cheers and yes that's your old bumper :) came up a treat with a little cleaning
yeah i don't remember it being that clean! lol Without trawling through, what you doing rim wise?
No idea lol
Got some Audi 80 Quattro UR 14's that need a refurb
Also got a set of Cav Expression wheels to pick up which I'd like to have done with grey spokes
One thing is for sure the ones on ATM don't fit lol
So really, still undecided lol
Dude, that looks fantastic. Amazing work.
It's nearly there lol, looking great Edd, keep up the good work,
Benn, thank very much, I can't take any credit for the refurb on the seats that was lady's doing lol
Bazil, I wish it was nearly there lol everywhere I look theres still stuff to be done :(
It all takes a long time lol
At least it runs now wish no issues, wouldn't recommend poly exhaust rubbers to any one tho lol I'll have to change them to standard, waaaayyy to much vibration
Seats do look great Edd, but so does everything you've done.
Looking ace buddy, cant wait to see it it all built up and in the flesh so to speak, keep it up.
iain

Got a small problem after looking over the car yesterday and studying a few pics
The new headlight and indicators don't seem to be that good fit
Pic of Rich's, no doubt with Hella headlights and indicators
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...t/DSCF1632.jpg
These look like they line up differently to mine underneath ??
http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/r...S/SAM_0769.jpg
The Lucas ones I have fitted don't look right ATM to me, indicators are slanted down
Will this straighten up when the bumper on ?
Or should I get some O.E. Hella ones ? :(
try with the bumper on to be sure first
have you got the headlight clip in the slam panel?
