suprmek1 · 05-10-2008, 00:51

Finished the underside of the car and cleaning up any mess. Removed the subframe stripped and re-painted.

Had a few bits sprayed up

fitted wiper motor and started sorting out wiring looms removed all the ABS wiring and am re-positioning the rest of the wires.

Welded the manifold, drilled out and replaced a snapped turbo stud

and heat wrapped it. Used 40ft of heat wrap and still need another 3 just to finish of one of the runners

And need some to do the elbow

.

Clutch and box now attached and turbo is on ready to be fitted for the final time (for now

)
As it happens I need it out the workshop for monday so means I have an excuse to work on it all day tomorro
