Cheers very much mate,
It took me longer getting the bay ready for paint than it did to actually paint it

Cheers very much guys
Will defo keep taking pics as more gets done keeping you all up to date with its progress
Dont think al make any shows this year, Going to spend most of the year getting the car back to show room. The plan is to have it painted hopefully around aug/sep time all going well. Dont want to put it on the road just before the bad winter weather so will spend the time over xmas getting the final touches done an the car ready for next year. It really cant come soon enough, I would love to work on it every day but work an kids come first.PRICER wrote:Should look goodwhen you hoping to have it finished? In time for shows?

Re: 1.6 16v Project. Pic Heavy
Been busy the day again, Got all the front brake lines run and all clipped into place. put the gearbox mount into place to make sure it cleared the catch tank(had to be adjusted lol). put the other front engine mount in place. Stuck my washer bottle in a basin of bleach to try clean the inside and it came up minted so thats now in, managed to get the wiper motor back into the bulk head. Then set about making up a new servo vacum pipe (hidden) to go to the inlet manifold. After all that was done there wasn't much time before i started work so made a start cleaning the gearbox up.
Pics..........
Pollen filter, Wiper motor and washer bottle in

Not much clearance, And yes the engine mount is still to be powder coated hehe

New vacum pipe fitted inside bulkhead




And finally the gearbox

Still needs alot more cleaning but its getting there.
Cheers for looking folks and all comments welcome as usuall
