Fitted new alloy rad, that popped the three way hose under the inlet, replaces that and one of the core plugs on the head holed....water leak after water leak at the mo.
It gave me an excuse to pretty a few bits, had a play with the throttle cable bracket and fuel rail.

I'm also cleaning the inlet, I'll probably paint it as it's difficult to polish the nooks
More to come soon...

I've sent a link to this to a mate of mine to make him jealous of his mk2 black xe lol

been busy trying to polish a few bits but it's right pain getting in the corners so decided us give up with polishing and paint them instead, also saving me a lot of time

You know I saw those vents around eighteen years ago and have always wanted them. I did offer for somebody to make reverse moulds using them so some more could be made. Maybe Ade would be the guy for that since he's a wiz with fibreglass and moulds.
