Thought so, was just checking . Don't want your idle problem to turn out to be a vaccum .

Not a massive thing to show, But looks much better now.

Washed, Clay'ed, Polished and Waxed. Just need to do the plastics, Couldn't do them due to rain




Excuse the blurry pic


Got a couple of things ticked off the list, Although added a couple more too

Washer pump wiring up
Rear shocks bolted up
One scuttle hole needs filling
Bleed brakes
Change steering wheel squib
Fit MHW's
Clean the sump
Sort backbox hangers
Maybe change the hubs (fucked bearings)

Then when the arch trims come (Monday)
Fit arch trims
Fit arch liners
Fit Grill to bumper
Fit front bumper correctly

Tax it, Insure it, Drive it.

Rocker will be sorted when I get your powerbox on it chris, Mani will get done once Ive had it on the road for a week or so, See if the sump actually leaks or not.

Been cracking on today so might get a update tonight

First up was to clear out the interior, Mucho better, Still need to refit half the dash and do a bit more tidying up, But its a start.


Refitted all the scuttle trims, wipers etc, Aswell as my newly placed/hidden washer bottle (I need to cut a hole to fill it up )


Then moved it and got a couple of pics, The bonnet isnt a great fit atm, Will worry once the bumper is on properly lol



And Finally a quick reflection shot....


So...

Plus the jobs once the arch trims turn up.

Arch trims came today, Fitted them along with front bumper and grill.


Unfortunately they are a shocking fit.



Front bumper won't fit correctly either


Arch liners fitted too, Excuse the dirty/covered in shit chassis leg



Looks good....


Brakes are bled, So other than finding out the running problem, Its ready for the road. Just need to get it Taxed and then insured.

Tomorrow evening I'm going to strip the inlet and try to find the airleak, Fingers crossed.

Jamie - Pay me enough and I would

Raz - I looked into it, But quickly changed my mind when I found out they are £19 + VAT EACH from Vauxhall, These are just sprayed, Will see how long it lasts before flaking.

Lights look sexy though!
