Soo close now!
Almost done!

Car is ready to start up now. Just waiting on some new front TCA's so I can torque up the wheel bearings and get her back on her new wheels.

New rubber






Spent a while refinishing and fitting all the bailey tanks. Only to find the old screw caps are non transfrable. The washer bottle has on hole for fitment of the pump and the header tank has a spare out let Anyway have taken them all off ond gone back with the originals just to get her on the road again








exhaust manifold ready to go on


new fuel and brake line clips


Lovely new arch liners




Soo close now!

I just got back from Gozo a few months ago, there were a couple of sapphires over there and many mk1 ans 2's

Yeh bits are still available, ebay or the classifeds on here are your best bet. You may also benifit from using a trader on here to supply it, you will pay more for it, but its a safe way to do things.

Or if you can hold off we will probably be coming back next year, I could sneak a grill in the mrs suit case!
