another update its now been a long long long time without my car and its taken its toll on me mentally im now starting to hate the pug.
i replaced the brake line which meant re routing it because i was not gunna get round the power steering lines.
fitted the pump, fuel lines, injectors, heat shields and copper washers i found by taking a flat head to the stubborn heat shields and giving it a sharp whack broke the seal.
i fitted the intercooler etc originally using metal piping but then realised i completely forgot about the coolant reservoir so found i could use the spare turbo to intercooler hoses
first start..... nothing removed the solenoid found it was seized cleaned that up tried again still nothing kept cranking eventually fired into life but then cut it off quick because i had no coolant
second attempt after a long day doing the final bits started and it ran away like a bitch
from what darren posted somewhere im thinking its the governor weights so gunna whip the head off and see if i can free it up in situ
any tips or advice?
hopefully that'll get fixed then will be back on the road although i discovered abit a serious rust which will fail the next MOT ill get a photo when im next down see what anyone thinks.
also could someone move this to the 306 project section
