Lol the only thing about this car, that is still from your car is the doors and chassis. Yea I know it's the biggest bit but a lot has changed.
Fuel tank, all the suspension, all the other panels, interior, most of the electrics, soon the engine. Hopefully will get a little further along on Saturday.

So bit of a random day, first went to pug performance, to pick up a steering wheel boss, and window regulator. Then over to kris's who had been injured at work yesterday so one man down already.
Swapped over the rear tailgate, and fuel tank then built up the interior.
Now away for two weeks so hopefully kris will get some more done in that time.

They will do for now. The only choice is metal monkey or plasma dials.

Front seats fitted feels so nice to have these in and to be say in it.
Sump, power steering and alternator swapped over. Just need to make a better turbo bracket and wire up the engine then plonk it in place.
Thanks to Tom and phil, and thanks to Tom for letting me drive his car home, missed the 306 and driving.

At least my contribution didn't cause us to be trying to get a sump off for 10 mins because you forgot a bolt by the flywheel
Oh and my second contribution that led to us with a. Big pry bar, hammer , blowtorch and lots of swearing trying to get a sump off again forgetting 2 bolts....
:-P

Na that one is perfect. Looking for a turbo elbow but only found new ones which are like £90.
Hopefully next weekend, can only work on it on the weekends, I am more worried about the brown engine.

So now there is something to look at.
Engine is in, wiring all plugged up, need to fit the driveshafts, and plumb up all the water works. Need to have a close look at the turbo relocation pipe as it's hitting the bulkhead and thus making the turbo to close to the engine. Then it's figure out where to route the exhaust.
