hey looking good that mate bet will look rather smooth when you get some nice rims not sure if you are or not but would nice lowered:thumb:
the easiest way to run wires for the boot solenoid is to use a sturdy bit wire and feed it from in the bootlid at the bottom upto the top spoiler edge or vice versa then down towards the back lights then follow the loom to the front. when i done a smoothed boot i used the rear wiper wiring as its at the boot light. most alarms are negative pulses so you want a permanent live to one side of the solenoid and then the earth signal will come from the alarm
This is the order of things to go now that the bodywork is sorted.Quote:

The car is lowered on H&R Sport springs -35mm, although atm with no engine in the front and needing a bit more interior it doesn't quite look low lol
Coolio mate, will give that a go when I have the time. Wanna run it through the rubber sleeve which the factory electrics run through.Quote:

Just a case of finding an engine near by so I can go see it running. In the mean time I'll try and fine some inner CV's that wont cost a bomb lol and the last remaining odds and sods
I bought my cv's from Carcraft all reconditioned I think they were roughly £30-40 each if that's any help bud
Looking good cheif - I'm thinking about using that Schutz on my Mk1...Is it overpaintable do you know ?
Someone on MIG told me they bought a brand set for £48 from a motorfactor, as I was lookıng for a set used. Waiting for some info from him part number manufacturer etc.Quote:

I know mate, was in there for one day, and it already had some speckles of dust on it. This dust sheet should keep it protected well :)
Just seen the new pics mate, looks very nice, looks a good job on it, if you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay for all the work?
