Thanks very much for all the nice comments guys, means alot

should'nt there be a shim guarding the flywheel?
looks rather exposed to the elements

looking brill as usual though dave

Yes there should mate, the clutch cover plate. Im in the process of getting hold of one before she's all finished

[Dave G fsi]

Right then, time for another update

Got loads more done on her yesterday. First up I built up the new shocks and springs, then fitted them, along with the drive shafts, new CV boots, spindle carriers and new suspension arms.

As well as this, I got all of the coolant hoses connected up and also connected up the gear linkages.

Really pleased with the progress.

Here are some pics:

[mrorange2]

Really nice you are doing a great job on it mate.

Wish i could get under mine and do the floor like yours.

[Dave G fsi]

Cheers mate

Im so pleased whoever built my garage had the foresight to make it high enough to jack the cars right up

[jayrs]

cracking mate
im guessing you have a new charge carrier to go on with the DV take off welded on?

[Dave G fsi]

Cheers Jay

The charge carrier on it has the dump valve take off welded on, but I have blocked it off due to selling it without a dump valve fitted

[Dave G fsi]

Update time

After a hell of alot of work and time spent in the garage, as of Saturday just gone, she is now completely finished and ready to be driven off by the new owner

Passed the MOT with flying colours last Wednesday then just had to sort the tracking out and a few other bits and bobs, but then had trouble getting the tracking done as it turned out the motor factors had supplied me with the wrong track rod ends so they woudnt screw on to the rack far enough to prevent the front wheels towing in

Got that sorted on saturday tho and now all is done!

Took her for a spin to see how she was running once the tracking had been done and the boooooost addiction came back in an instant

Anyway, I hope the new owner is pleased with the result

Here are some finished pics:

Interior back in:



Washed and polished:











On the ramps for tracking:
