Default S1 Rebuild

Well i bought this car of nickrst of this site.
After a few weeks of gathering some parts i've now got some of them fitted.




This was how she looked when I went to see it
I picked it up on Hogmany


This is how it loks now after some parts are refitted.








This is as far as i can go with it just now till i get some more parts which are bought, just waiting on the postie.

Default Update

Well some progress. Couldn't get a spark found out to be the dizzy so the car is now running but needs timing done and tuned. Bought a group a coil,chipped ecu and all items for a service so not long now till it's finished.
Interior is now in and 99% finished just needs a good wash now.
Engine bay needs tidied and sort a few little water leaks from the pipes that were off.
Then it's mot time but i'm not in a hurry till the better weather comes in.
