Just thought I'd clear up the confusion on that lol Didn't see scott explain, Saloon is looking good :thumb: Slightly confused by the scuttle cover though, isn't this to be a track car? Is it just to keep water off the gubbings underneath?

Water protection and just to tidy it tbh.

I wanted to build a track car that looks rough on the outside (no point spending money there) but for very little I can make a nice job when I pop the bonnet. :D

Fair enough, I start thinking a bit extreme when I think track car lol All weight is bad weight :p Exception is mine as it's a daily, which means it needs to look nice too as I can't show off it's full capabilities on the road lol

Its ally sheet ;) And I have cut a hole and will do one more in it! lol

Been offered a porsche 924 today for free. Her ex partner bought it a few years back, drove it home and parked it up to do a resto on but they then broke up and he never came back for the car.

I'm mainly interested in the gearbox/diff & torque tube. Am I right in saying that as they are still on the car as sealed item they should be ok bar the obvious age wear & tear?

Most of the weekend was spent drunk followed by hanging out my **** but managed to get a few jobs done.

I painted up the thermostat housing and breather/dipstick in my favourite colour then fitted up to the engine. I then spent a very long time renewing all the exhaust studs and working the thread with wd40 and then decided to do the same with the mount bolts and the 2 on the shell for the gearbox mount.

I'm all ready now to fit the clutch & flywheel then bolt it up into place. I just need to order a couple of nova engine mounts and a thermostat housing gasket. I noticed one of my mounts was different I think its an astra one? (nova on right).

Stop drinking and get more done....

Looks good fella.

does that box have a diff fella ???

I have an astra mount here, thought it would be the same as a nova but sticks out slightly more.
