Thanks ;)

It's really getting there now didn't get much done today because I went chrostmas shopping insted ... N now I'm watching F1. Did however fit the splitter so I did do something haha.

Last big thing is to decide what exhaust to buy! Anyone any suggestions got about £250 to spend on one

How did you fit the splitter btw? I didn't bother with the VW clips on mine, flimsy as hell. Nuts, bolts and washers was much more effective!

Here are your two 'zaust choices imo. Clean standard looking or upswept.

ive spent far too long in the drift world not to use zip ties to hold splitters on, ive also snapped far too many on various cars over the years, this way if i catch it it just clips off rather than snapping it :D

i think id like something half way between the 2 haha

^^ ha ha !

Not sure if I would prefer chrome trim on a light colour and black on a dark colour. I'll hold my judgement just yet.

However, cracking progress !!!!

thats for another thread lol. not going to effecvt this one dont worry, plan its to get it off for mot Nnext week as im off work :D

ill probably have the tail pipe changed, was the only system i could find with the correct bore for the down pipe :D

right no pics sorry kinda been in a doing mode rather than picture taking mode

we now have fully functional wipers and washers .. terribly slow mund.. but apparently ive driven new cars for far too long nd this is 1981 speed.

water has been replaced with coolant

and now have a elecrtic slim fit rad fan insted of the huuuuge fan that was on it before

also have a scuttle cover to hide all the crap behind there.. no idea why i went to the effort to paint all the wiper motor to cover it all up but hey ho.. looks good and have some funky plans for it.

well today i had a peice made up to fit the gap by the local exhaust place.. sterling job too.
it blows a little bt cant really ajust it on my back on the floor!

then i did a check over of lights to make sure it was ready for its MOT, hazzards wernt working so pulled the switch out... which fell apart in my hands.. great
