Any time Dave, if you need any advice on spending anymore of you hard earned cash let me know...

[HockeyDave55]

Cheers but I'm not spending any of my hard earned on looks just yet.. Still need to get it back on the road! 

[HockeyDave55]

Just to get your opinions on the exhaust I found on eBay...
Not sure of the tail pipes.... :-/

[HockeyDave55]

Ok, very much time for an up-date....
I have been collecting a heap of parts.... Here's the list....
Clutch kit plus slave cylinder and feed pipe,
Both cats and full exhaust,
Centre arm rest, and h/b trim + new leather gators for the gear stick and h/break,
Air duct in centre console,
Hand brake cable,
Full disc and pad set,
Scuttle panel,
Boot lid trim,
Air, oil, fuel and cabin filters + coolant and oil,
Set of plugs,
One plug lead (No4)
plus the correct wheels (already on the car) 2 tyres needed..

There is still a long list of things that I want to get sorted but I'm getting it ready for the end of this month and MOT time!

Tell me about it , most of my work has been hidden stuff .

New rad
HBV
Coil pack
Plugs
Anti freeze
Ball joints
Drop links
Bodywork will be last to do and sourcing some nice alloys, not looked into alloys but hoping the newer MV6 alloys will fit similar to what you have on yours

Add a pair of O2 sensors to the list!
While swapping over the cats, I was having a hard time getting the old O2's out, took the old pipes too work and got them out.... I have no idea how they were in there so tight.... They had NO THREAD!!!!!!! I'm just so glad that our good friend at OmegaSparePartsLtd has come to the rescue and they are on their way! :-)

[HockeyDave55]

Up-date No2! 1st job this morning, change plugs.... I started on the more difficult side at the back.... So after I got all the gubbins out of the way, I went at No6 plug like a mad dentist, the plug well had a mix of oil and water in the bottom. Then I changed the lead for that cylinder....
I continued round to 4, then 2, then 1,3 and 5. Out of those I had oil in most but 6 was full to the top with water. Also when I pulled No6 lead, the post on the DIS pack also had water in it, now I'm looking at doing the cam cover gaskets :-/
I have no idea how this engine ran?
So, I carried on, re-fitting the wipers, changed the pollen and air filters, fitted the boot lid trim, refitted drivers door trim and fitted the air duct in the centre console and put the console itself back together.
I'm hoping to get the O2 sensors tomorrow so I can fit those and run her up....

There you go dave

Nice and clean mate, used to have one the same 

[HockeyDave55]

Thank you but to be fair, up close she's not perfect by far! I really wanna get her re-sprayed but that's gonna be a way off yet....
She now has MV6 wheels and is a little lower.

And today I ordered a Drain Cock (their description) for the Rad' called yesterday and it was £4.5??? Today it was £2.20 :-) I wish it was like that for everything!!! 

So anyway... The MOT is booked for the 30th... Just a few small jobs to do and I think she's ready.
