not really an update as theres no pics but will try get some tomorrow. bonnets finished just needs spraying. my nice shiny manfold flange turned up at work this morning so started work on getting the new manifold made up just waiting on my t28 to arrive then i can rebuld it. also started strippd my rear discs hubs down as they are in a bit of a state. thinking of just changing them for ones off a newer model but im not sure yet. also got the tires off the wheels ready to be painted just need to get them sanded down and primered but waiting for my new spray gun to turn up before i do anymore painting as the one i have now is crap.

some piccys for you all not really much pogress happened but cleaned my unit out and re-arranged the car collection so theres a bit more room got enough space for another couple of cars now. got a rusty vr6 vento and an engineless polo coming soon hmmm i wonder what could happen there.

anyway some piccys car is now on axle stands so i can get rear axle and wheels off.


also managed to get bonnet finished off. was going to primer it but spotted a small dent in the middle so fillered that.



laser cut exhaust flange turned up so i can crack on with my manifold now. just waiting on the turbo to come



also treated myself to a new spray gun the one i have been using is pants.

yea did the spoilerr sat night and put it on whilst it was still soft. cold weathers made the paint go dull need to do it again. its not a bad car seeing as it cost 200 quid. dont think you noticed the dent in the other side though

engine is now in wooo. again... need to mock up a cardboard mount then i can get it welded on and then its in for the final time hopefully. connected clutch up all feels good not as heavy as i though it would be. soon as my turbo turns up i can check it clears the block and then i can weld my manifold up fully. anyways il let pics do the talking didnt get any pics of it going in. i was too busy struggling getting it in on my own.
