Replacement dash in.  Speedo works now. 

Rev-counter works.

Spoiler works (some things are important).

ABS powers up and errors - no pipes connected up at the moment, but as the ABS light didn't actually come on before this is a feature.

Tomorrow - heater box back in, bit of tidying up of the loom, then engine and box out, engine loom out and ready for wrapping.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Had this going on on Saturday:



To remedy a couple of snapped studs which resisted the old trick of welding on nuts to the sheared studs.

New studs and nuts ordered from VW at a cost of about £20.

New gaskets NOT ordered from VW because they wanted a HUNDRED QUID for five gaskets!

Ordered the gaskets from Vee W Services for £22 delivered before the weekend.

Lots of progress today: engine and box in and all hooked up and it has run tonight.

Lots more to do tomorrow.  :undecided:
