My 83 Gti set to get full restoration

Sorted cheapest way! Basically vauxhall 2.2 diesel engibes use a 3" maf casing and your maf sensor bolts in.. check my thread for pics. Also ford galaxy diesels are same part no. For the sensor itself :-) should save ya 50 quid joe ;-)
Sounds good to me mate, I'll keep my eye open for one of those

t5 2.5 transporters also use a 3 inch maf housing and mk4 maf sensors plug straight into them

Nothing massive to report I'm afraid, got a few pics from the painters of the work he's done so far…
Engine bay being prepped ready for primer
O/S sill fillered
Boot area getting prepped
Rework on the N/S sill as the one I fitted wasn't quite right.
Also, got the rest of the Trackslag exhaust
That's all for now.

The Trackslag is a work of art isn't it! It's a shame to hide it away under the car

sorry but id be fumming with that body shop for doing so a little in such a large amount of time…. you had done way more in the same period
I know mate, I've told him I need the car back for the winter and I think he's got the message now. He has just sent me some more pics of work he has done this week, he hopes to have the car in primer by the end of the week, hopefully. It's not all his fault as I did make the mistake of telling him there was no hurry at the beginning while I was still saving a bit money up

Got some good news to report. After a long wait my car is finally in it's first coat of primer
I went down to see the painter at the weekend to sort a few things out. When I got there they were working on my car sorting the sills out etc….
And tonight he sent me another couple of pics of her in the paint booth..
Hopefully I'll get some more pics tomorrow when she comes out
