its been awhile!!! been very busy with exams so have not had any time to work on the car. now its all over let the fun begin!!!!

i started taking off the top manifold and the cam cover under it followed by the bottom half of the manifold.

all this was treated to a nice lick of paint!!!











also did the throttle body and ISV





also pushed on new injector seals as the old ones were f**ked! it was a nightmare to get on. little trick RJ told me about if you boil them in water they are easy to get on with the aid of some grease.




the little bastards!!!

tomorrow  want to give the cam cover another coat as the white is very hard to get right.

Feck off that badgeless sh*t and get an OEM grille, most aftermarket grilles are weak as feck and look cheap, it spoils the rest of your car IMO.

I don't mind badgeless on some cars and was pretty much most cars about 10 years ago but times have changed, the last time i was looking at one for myself was really unimpressed with quality....

Got a late style twin lamp OEM grille with black badge on mine in my sig below... looks alright to me and think similar would look much more in place on yours.

your should post a message to chris as he got a really good mk2 one new pretty cheap, pattern part but looks spot on.
