\'Check Your Nuts!\' My partner has just been through an operation and chemotherapy for Testicular Cancer and is only 29. He had no lump or pain, just became swollen… If in doubt, get to the doctor!

Got plenty of other things to get on with such as cleaning parts and spraying/powdercoating. Cant see it being finished this year as my funds are limited but I am in no rush.
Also is a 4-2-1 manifold worth the extra cost?
Will get some pics up asap..
Thanks

Going down to Autohaus Dolby in Sheffield to see if they can complete the engine bay and pretty much everything mechanical. Anyone had any dealings with them?
Thanks!

I managed to remove the fuel tank and clean it out before taking it to Autohaus Dolby who have done a great job on the engine bay, fuel lines and various other bits.
Rear axle, fuel tank, rear drums removed and refurbed -
Fuel tank painted -
Engine rebuilt & cleaned-
Engine bay -
Underbody cleaned and sealed -
In its current state -
Bumpers and grilles are on order at the moment then I will start on the interior.
Currently searching for a set of bbs rs or rm splits. I know they have been done to death but they look so good!

Yes I am hoping it will be ready for the AGM. Dashboard has gone in today but a hour trying to fit the new cigarette lighter and the bulb holder had the best of me so I gave up! Ill try again tomorrow!

New front bumper fitted;
Dash fitted and sound proofing the interior;
I have also found out that the car was a personal import from Germany from new. That is probably why the paint code is not that well known of on a mk1. Hoping to get the birth certificate bought soon.
