right peeps little update

i got bang on it on weds but a few little hik ups so didnt get as much as i wanted done but he i never do!

i started with finishing off the loom in the engine bay and got it started up despite the fuel pump being bodged up but ive made it secure and going to leave it just for now and now i have a working rev counter and the engine ran better but still high idle,

then i got stuck into the engine bay and removed the bodged up bleed valve and removed and temp repaired the dump valve connection and found quite a few little boost leaks along the way. i then replaced the iscv and secured the rad, added a ht lead guide and generally tidyed things up in there and now see runs sweet and smooth.

i cant refit the firewall panels yet tho as i need to replace the blower motor which is winging its way to me now and i need to get some black insulation tape as i only had red at the time and it looks shite

this is how i left it last time







and this is the fuel pump bodge



i bloody forgot to get pic of engine bay!!!

i thought id show you lot what i did with the dump vavle (please bare in mind it is temporary untill i get a unfucked charge carrier)

i use this stuff called quick steel and its never let me down. i once used it to seal a leak on a mate erst fuel tank on the outlet to the pump as temp repair but he never fixed it and its still holding out now 2 years later. its good shit but it fucking stinks, heres what i did

the part that is screwed into the carrier was loose and leaking



heres the shizle



and the result (not pretty but better than a boost leak)




so then i thought i best get on with the asthetics, so i fitted the new boost gauge and mounted it on the a pillar were it should be. Then i refitted the bumper and connected the fog lights unlike the previous owner! After that i just couldnt resist putting the green stripe on as i think they just make an rs complete









and then went to fit the window caps and couldnt get them on and it got to the point were i thought i was going to bust the window, so does any one know how to get them on??



just a few bits to do now witch i will update next week, thanks for reading, jon
