Mangnex back box, de cat pipe and a Rsi center section with box. Its sooo much quiter than that THING attched before. It needs a wee bit tweaking here and there but looks 100 times better imo. I know its not sitting in the hole right but i have a new back bumper to go on, so will be better soon.

Comments as per.

Did a lot of work to the valver today, will get pics of its current state before I re-start tomorrow morning.

But basically the 2 bumpers, 2 wings and bonnet are off. The wheels, 1 caliper, both rear shocks, backbox mirrors, some loom and the leather interior are also off! Oh and the door strips.

Got a couple pics half way through the day, took it accross the road and got it cleaned one last time!

All that needs done now is to actually remove the engine, then we'll take the front suspension off and its ready to be taken away.

As long as you have a doner car and a haynes/engine craine it shouldnt be that hard. But ill update that once we have done it. :rasp:

It's like a Mk1 scrap yard in that garage.

This is about the 4th on we have broken so there is a few bits sitting around. :eek:

nice work...why you killing the valver though, looks ok?

As above really its not straight and its rotten. Plus Ph3 valver will be cool as!

Steers squinty they said.

Kill the valver, down with them.
Phase 3s all day long.

John/Dave, that mean i get my electric windows now?

Yes you can come down and get them one weekend. Im not taking them out as they are a pain in the ass. You can play about with them :rasp:

Yeah I'll get a pic of the os rear arch, its mostly catty on rust!

Looks decent in pics but nowhere near as good as it looks.

I cant do this weekend at all, working all day both days.

And about the scrapyard comment, we took 2 loads, mostly reno bits to the dump the other day so thats it improved!!

The pics make it look like a good un. Seriously isnt though.

WE need another few runs to the dump once the valver has gone. :star:
