Dan's mk2 8v to ABF project **Build For Le Mans??**

[tech1889]

Right slowly been getting parts and meeting some lovely dubbers along the way I'm trying so hard to not keep neglecting the car..

I have bought a new abf gearbox.. It's 50% cleaned up.. Finish cleaning it today and will paint it with smooth silver Hammerite just to make it look a bit neater.. I also got the shifter and cables included..

Bought a new green tint rear window for a good price as mine works but the elements have all gone dodgey so will change that today..

Bought new handbrake surrounds, gear stick surround, and headlight switch, radio surround non cracked for £10 which I thought was a good price..

Devil is in the detail. Good to hear you've got some more bits collected.

Cheers boys, just wish I didn't have to do shifts and had more money.. Nevermind I'm soldiering on with a little each month 

Gearbox was half painted yesterday then had to go to work may go and finish it now..

Couldn't remove rear window yesterday as no room to push out will try again soon but at the moment the spare window is covering the sunroof hole as water was getting through 2 car covers and making interior mouldy which is not nice..

Onwards and upwards

Right onwards and upwards for people that dont check the project pages

gearbox is still not fully painted but no rush 









this is still how dirty the inside is.. i go impatient and only cleaned outside.. atleast this way i can just wipe off muck on outside
