As of yesterday I now ave a week off     Which is designated to getting the car finished, If its not done I cant get to work.
   I have spent a lot of time making sure I have absolutely everything covered, and think I am there!
I am going down the hydro clutch route so I got hold of an early corrado pedal box (reluctantly considering what people are asking for them nowadays) and corrado front crossmember.  I am sticking with the mk2 clocks as the mk3 ones never fit right and the mk2 ones look way better anyway.
   I broke a Mk2 16v earlier this year and I nabbed the brakes and PS rack from that. The calipers were knackered though so I am getting exhange units next week.
   Managed a slow two hours on the car this evening and besides the exhaust the 8v is ready to come out, but hey taking stuff apart is easy right?!  Any way ere:


 
Not long after:


My garden


Gave the TB a clean:


And a random one of a custom job i did on a DH bike last week:

Done more than I would in a few hrs lol
Nice job on the frame aswell mate 

[*tell*]

What frame is that

[brett]

Looks like a comencal full sus frame ,but not 10% sure lol
Either way rather nice

Ha close but no cigar, its a Corsair frame

I am well ahead of my schedule on the car, I wasn't expecting to have the old engine yesterday let alone have the vr in there!







I changed the pedal box yesterday morning and drilled the bulkhead for the clutch master... that is not a job I would want to do again soon  also ran the loom into the bay and sorted a few other bits.
So today, I will be plumbing everything in and sorting the wiring:



Going to pick up new brakes later and get it rolling again
