Big improvement on when I last saw it! :grin:

Tell me about it mate.. Its been so neglected but not a lot i can do funds were really low last year and i was training for most of the year so not getting 10 mins to myself..

Like I must get and finish my rear hatch! :grin:
I know what its like, currently working away and only get to see missus at weekends and seems unfair to spend it down in the garage!

Spent a few hours on it again today.. Not a lot to report as stuff just seemed to be a pain in the arse.. Removed both front wings as they need repairing or new ones as the bottoms are a bit rusty but not major so may just try and weld a piece on the bottom.. wire brushed the brake servo and just put a bit of hammerite on it to stop it rusting and will replace in the future but they like £100 new.. Also fitted my new SEAT master cylinder which is awesome as its stubby i have loads of clearance from head..

Can see me running into a few problems tho.. There seems to be clearance issues between chassis and where my power steering belt will be going theres just like no room will post a pic up tomorrow of the clearance..  :undecided: will post pics tomorrow.. Also with my power steering bottle in the original mk2 position its fouling on the top of the gearbox so think i may need to move this a bit  :undecided:

Im just pleased to be spending time on it  :smiley: Pics to follow

Here you can see how tight the room is





Also heres my stubby M/C this is 23.7mm i believe which should give a great pedal feel..
