Thought i should update this about now..
MOT yesterday - failed on a few niggly bits (loose break pipes, loose pinch bolt, no droplinks, and a rear wheel bearing) which all in all isn't THAT bad for a 210k, 22 year old NAD i'd say.
Having an absoloute mare with getting hold of the correct droplinks, never known anything like it - ordered 2 sets on ebay, from two different sellers, both providing the wrong pieces, well, i have 3 droplinks to fit a peugeot 106 (with an M12 thread) and 1 droplink to fit a 205 (M10 thread)
So went to ECP today with my 'good' link, and they couldnt match it/didnt supply it. Next plan is GSF i suppose.
By the end of the week i should have a new engine and a new turbo
to get working with.
Already got a gearbox and a new set of wheels to fit on.
The plan is a total sleeper, so keeping as much standard looking as possible.
I'll get some pics up once the weather clears up, some work gets under way and the postman starts delivering some shiny bits!
