Just got my Aero fuel cap thru today, needs a painting before fitting!

Cant wait to get the rest of the bits painted now!

The blue or the charcoal?

the blue...nice boot handle aswell ;)

No pics today, but fitted my Competition engine mounts i had spare!
Makes such a difference!!

very nice mate, i moved my head unit up there awel, did u have to cut ur screen demist pipes out aswel or did you get round it some how?

Cut the demist pipes out and re-routed them

i just cut mine out and put up with a misty windsceen lol

ahh thats why heated screens are the future lol

Indeed they are riggy my friend, on the other shell ill have one but no need on this one!!

Some engine mods coming soon on this one

1.6 MPi head, T40s, Cam etc etc

Should see it a bit quicker

Well, what an eventful few weeks the old girl has had!!

Its leaking water in somewhere, water in the footwells!
The water pump has gone
And i lost a wing mirror!!

Wing mirror kindly removed by an arctic when i was on the hard shoulder trying to figure out why it was over heating!

As the water pumps gone, i cant be assed to change it so im gonna XE it instead!!

What was a daily driver is gonna become a show car i think! Its too clean to run about in!

More to follow!

And what about the other shell? that stil gona be a Let Slag?

do you have a twin40 manifold for a 1.6 mpi?

lol sounds good stu fella ,

check heater matrix for leaks bud , and under the carpet to see if all bungs are still in and check battery tray and windscreen and doors seals aswell ,

i thought it might be the heater matrix carl cos the engines losing water too!!
