yeah, Current status,

No MOT due to rear brake's

might bypass a few things...

but otherwise good! hopefully 2 new tyres and 4x 15" wheels back on soon, so i can stop ruining my splitter.

added up all my recipts for the car since my ownership and i was nicely surprised :)

so yeah, not on properly, need to get 2 punctures sorted, and maybe swap two tyres over.

I like it :)

but could do with 45 profiles, and being a bit lower!

was going to buy a set of RA's or G60's but these came up for about the same price as a set of one of those would have owed me so i snapped them up!

and they are in very fair condition. small spidering on them but nothing much. 2 of the wheels are only a few years old!

2 Ronals all ready to rock. 2 others need tyres :(

New Rad, new expansion tank, shafts, hubs and brakes All round etc ready to go on, new servo etc.

i do like a hoard.

works busy so i don't get chance to fit all this. i will do the radiator soon.

hopefully everything else will follow.

even fitted MK3 stalks.

Proud of them shafts. split and rebuilt all the CV's myself.

May even fit this. holds boost. just depends.

i do like my top mount, and may even be getting the missing battery cover!

oo...

Yes!

some nice OE pads when i put my new calipers on.

fitted fresher hubs and drive-shafts the other night, and the car is much quieter!

the old CV joints were like a set of shake weights :lol:

wheel bearings in the old hubs were... BAD very very BAD

well pretty much, it hadn't come apart but with the amount of play id say one of the races inside had collapsed or something.

i put better hubs on and haven't looked back.

also i found a split in my vac hose, so might not even need to fit the servo.

the rubber but right on the vacuum pump
