Been on here for quite a while now so i thought its time to start a project thread.
Ive had my MK2 for 7 years now use to belong to john williams before me, its spent best part of the time off the road since ive owned it, ive only started using it the past coulple of years in that time i ditched the tired KR lump for an abf best 200 quid ive spent. The MK2 starting to show its age now so is off the road not by choice the clutch decided to blow up that was a couple of months ago the MOT ran out a couple of weeks later so ive done the clutch and been getting it ready for MOT and get it ready for paint.
Heres some pics

Didnt get any finished pics had the school run to do should be taking it for MOT in the morning finally.
-
Good work :afro:
-
Just got back from the MOT station and it failed on rear brakes and a rear wheel bearing and one advisory they said the brake bias is seized which could be the fault with the rears so will get that sorted
-
Sorted brake bias and wheel bearing, checked the brake bias turned out the spring was jammed freed it off brakes back to normal :smiley:
