right update time.
been waiting for 2 new wings and front headlight panels to arrive which got here today so thought i better do a little catchup
firstly i had to change the thermostat outlet to be able to feed water to behind the pump and one of the oil filter housing outlets, so xud7 purchased brand new £3
old
new
then did some trimming to a 205 gti strut brace and my front mount adaptor
also had a leaking fuel filter housing so to solve that rather than spend money again on another fuel filter did a nice quick fix with some wood screws, now its a tight as a ducks arse in water but will be changed once its all up running properly
then onto finishing the steering rack
subframe painted
new wheel bearings
also had to change the stop solinoid in the pump as it wasnt working
then fitted the starter and some wiring in preparation
also built another little roof extension on the garage as to keep the doors dry so i can paint them as they swell in the rain making it an arse to open.
then went and picked up my dads mig, not the best in the world but should do the job on the headlight pane;s just got to buy some gas for it as gasless is SHIT when doing bodywork.
thats it so far, hopefully be buying 2 new driveshafts, 2 new wishbones and a set of coilies so i can get the subframe back together and the car back on all four wheels
comments welcome as usual
