Finally bought a house with a garage so its now right under my nose with all my tools and spares in one place, storage wasnt kind to it having a leaking roof has pretty much killed everything under the bonnet
But none the less its home and back together with the plan being to get it running and mapped before restoring it (again)

PassionFord Post Whore!!
I used them as Oddchild supplied me them when I was on cossie management. I don't think they are meant to be used with fuel but the caused me no issue.
I use metal connectors now with braided lines where needed.

Cars currently messing me around with an intermittent ignition loss issue im hoping is down to a few bad earths, ill be having a play in the next few days.
also to hide the horrible archs and sills untill a time i can get everything done in 1 go including a repaint ive bought an S2 body kit, something i never thought id do for this car but needs must.

I like when people post stuff like this, I don’t feel so stupid when I do it. Hopefully an easy repair.
