Marky Mark's Astor 6

Thanks Chaps -


Has been started already - BIG shout out to Ryan AKA 306gtiparts and his eBay Shop who I bought the engine and a couple other bits from.

Cleaned it up and the tick-over is just about sorted, but I think a new one will fix the idle completely

As Bertie mentioned, he's taken her out for a spin (and yes, the tyre pressure was really low)

Things left to do:

Rear B6's to be installed and torsion bar hight dealt with (msg to Stef is in order)
Exhaust needs lowering as it's catching on the bumper
Upper strut bar installing again

I'm picking up a drivers door, rear bumper and fogs this coming weekend.

Then it's colour coding and the interior
