The first picture - 20vT MK2
« on: 13 August 2004, 00:54 »


Right, even though it was returned to me on monday it wasn't clean enough to take pics so between flat hunting and working I've managed to get it looking like this. Before you all starting the usual here are a few pointers.

- The cambelt cover has been ordered and I'll be collecting it today (friday).
- The throttle cable is held with the cable tie to stop it catching. I will be fitting a longer cable asap.
- my water bottles have obviously seen cleaner days. I will be replacing them with All Smiles (07970 422552) alloy items soon.
- Some of the wires and pipes are still a bit messy. Another thing to sort out.
- The battery will possibly we relocated to the boot soon.
- Samco hoses will be going on as soon as I get up to demon tweaks for all the custom ones to be messured up.

other than that I think it's looking good. It's running well and I'm pleased with it now. I'll continue cleaning it in any spare time I have.  ;D
