Is the rubber bush perished ?
Just read from page 1 mate, what a transformation, respect for doing that.. also love how you've kept it all original. Hopefully i'll see it in the flesh sometime as I'm from Irvine. ;)

Really need a better paying job so i can rattle on with it, saving some money now i have got rid of the Type R.
I had around 18 months of gathering parts,panels etc.
At least most of your car was there to start with,i was missing most of mine lol that should give most people hope with a project when you see the shed i started with.
Getting it to Scottish Nova meefs next year mate?
+Rep Raf24, just spent an hour reading the 30 page rebuild congrats on a great and ultra fast build , hope to see itat a Scottish show next year!
I really should take a leaf out of your book mate, mine is still sitting in the same spot with nothing done to it yet lol
Yes i am definitely going to a few shows this year,i only did a couple of locals this year(kames at muirkirk & dean park in kilmarnock) which i will be at again but may go to others.
Thanks for the comments david & pauly.
Bazil-are you talking about your red gte or your black gsi? lol

Be nice to see all of them back on the road,probably be a few quid for that to happen i'd imagine though.
To be fair he has most of the panels to rebuild them.
Yeah I've got 2 scrap shells, one minted full car and a frightening load of bits lol
I was refering to my GTE though as it would look the carbon copy of your lol. As Sport says I'm almost at the end of the collecting parts bit then the fun starts.
I hope you make it to some of our wee drives.
Earlier this year we had a few, Oban was fun, Dunnoon was a good day out too.
lucky boy having three to play with ;) im going to make a point of meeting everybody i can and try and show up to a few shows etc.last summer was a washout & had a few teething problems with the nova but hopefully make up for it next year.
Cool, your more than welcome to pop over to mine if I'm working on one of my scrapers lol that's how most of the meets happen round my way lol
i'll take you up on that mate :)Quote:

Sorry for the crap pics i couldnt move it as the battery was flat :roll:

Took a pic after it broke down & i was bored waiting for the AA,was shiitting myself at all the the traffic flying past and decided the nova was not a safe place to be so bravely buggered off into a field lol

what caused it to brake down dude
Turns out it had melted the fuel pump fuse mate,AA guy said it was far too small an ampage (7.5a) which does seem a bit light to me for an electric pump,i've got a 10 amp fuse in it at the minute but if anybody could tell me what the correct size is that would be great,i also noticed i now have no battery,handbrake etc warning lights so if anybody can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated :thumb:
These are the two problems i had yesterday.

The spade connector on the live feed was dodgy as well,just wondered if there was a better way to put it onto the pump? Its taped up for now but dont want to half arrse it would rather do it right,any suggestions?
You checked the other fuses? As one does the instruments iirc
Is the plastic track on the back of the clocks OK? As that can cause problems if it's cracked
My fuel gauge works now & again,as do my dash warning lights so the plastic track may be dodgyQuote:

Re: fuel pump wiring - get the rubber grommets that go over the wires and fit over the pump connection. Iirc fuel pump fuel is 20amp
Your nuts! Keep it away from the nasty stuff :roll:. Its easy to get salt on than to clean it off. Mine wont see the road until the rain clears it away! It might be June at this rate lol.
Didnt know it rubber grommets mate,i'll have to look into it cheers :thumb:Quote:
