Cheers! That would be fun. It's only 6" deep so doesn't take too much room. Will have to draw a line on the boot carpet so i know where it is. I've built it so it doesn't interfere with the dickie seats. And it doesn't!

Gonna refit battery after charging it and fit xenon lamps in headlights

Bugger all... Beautiful day! Need to change handbrake cable, fit new handbrake shoes, electric fan, switch panel on fash etc etc... And I can't do any of it with swmbo's plans :-\

Filled it full of tools/oils/anti freeze etc...........................

Ready to do the engine swap

Cleaned what looked like 21 years of dirt out of the head lining.

Felted up

I like that a lot Rob, nice work.

Pottered about with it this morning. Cleaned the manifold sensor, topped up the oil and windscreen washer bottle, had a fiddle with the drop arm ball joint. I only replaced it in the summer yet it seemed to have got some movement already. On releasing the circlip and cap it appeared that the Britpart spring had squashed flat. It's not made of anything springy, it's just a twist of wire. I retrived the old spring from the shed which was the correct length and jacked that in. Nice and tight now. Then I washed the car, as we middle aged people are supposed to do on Sunday.

took standard bumper off



and put new one on

Fitted my new discs and callipers to me old 90. Bled the system but it's drawing air somewhere, so back to it again with the power bleeder.

Gave it a good cleaning inside, changed the fuel gauge backlight bulb and checked all levels under the bonnet

Had to weld a new section of floor in for mot today
well thats it all done now apart from off side rear anti roll bar locating pin insecure and i cant find anything wrong.....
thats the mot discription.
