7th pic down right hand side of the bay u see the diet coke 'with a twist of lemon' bottle

Basically a few drips sometimes come out of the uprated Bailey style breathers and your suppose to let it just drip on the floor. but probably like me the owner didn't want oil on the drive or splatered all over engine bay by the driveshafts. So by sticking a bottle on the end to catch any drips

no just dont want to be bragging/show off
was hoping to strip the car down again this weekend and lose the ke but i havent got my suspension set up

looks like i might have to make another pedalbox soon as all of my old bits are going on my mates mk3
if i have to make another ill let you know
non custom and absolutely no rot anywhere-just an unbelievably clean shell and ive never seen a shell like it
