Needs a cold air feed too!  :grin:

I might just put the old box back in.........never been a great fan of induction kits tbh.

Just been out and had another look around. Only the bottom section of the airbox is there, no top section :angry: Hunt on ebay coming up.

Car starts and runs fine but obviously I can't run it for long without water pump turning so looking forward to the belt arriving. In the meantime I am going to drain the cooling system right down as I doubt very much whether there will be any trace of antifreeze in it. 

Just found the face to the head unit of the stereo under the seat. Nice JVC unit :smiley:

Whilst searching on ebay I saw the prices of the induction kits :shocked: Seems a lot of money for what they are.
Thanks for your offer but seeing as the parts are missing I think I will firstly try and better route the induction kit. If I can't position it where I want it then I'll come back to you about buying your airbox :smiley:

I am looking forward to driving it yes. I've only driven one once before and that was Corin's where I took it for a brief test drive to see how it performed. Needless to say that it was a tad quicker than the Mk 1 :wink:
