Quality project.
good luck with the rest of it, looks really good so far.
best of luck mate, this has made me bid on another one on ebay! sounds like a wrong cv...
cheers guys yeah was the wrong cv Riggy helped me with a Shaftec number and the new 1 is coming on tuesday, my new exhaust manifold is due tommorow so will get the manifold on
Todays efforts were bleed the brakes correctly after swaping the calipers round lol sorted the gears out, fitted the dizzy and coil just need to sort wiring out now and decide where the fuel pump is going! Picked up a 1.2 rad today until i can get a gsi 1 as the 1.0 rad would fit but wont without to many pipes lol also poped over to Scott Parkers and bought some sand blasted 60mm front springs to go with the rear 60mms i have until i can aford some coilovers! so tommorow will be rad in and all piped up antifreeze in etc etc piccys soon!

So me bro came with some jump leads and the 1 pop and i got her back home so as of then no fuel leaking. So now decided to see if i could drive round the block. Had to mole grip the throttle cable as it keeps going to cut out when on idle, so did that and drove round the block doesnt seem to bad nothing to jump around about as its farting and spitting im hoping that after the umpteen times of cranking the plugs are funked. Also need to reset gears as 1st and 2nd are hard to get. And im hoping its the battery thats funked need to see if the altenator is charging. Took some quick piccys in the dark -
