cheers lads. still needs a bit more polishing and a coat of wax
Just picked this sexy little thing up
Built up most of the rear shoes tonight
Also put in a little bit of camber because I will more than likely need it when I get myself some wheels
Other things just to keep the thread moving along…. Because they came with some shocking pedal extensions. Underneath, the original ones had big holes drilled in them. Had a go of repairing them…
They will be covered by the pedal rubbers any way, but it would probibly bug me if I didn't try and fix them lol

Looking good buddy, could you cut a tiny piece out of the arch to make it fit better??

Dont really want to damage the underseal. these cars rust enough on their own
i had to cut the top mount down to get them to fit. ( the thread isnt long enough to get the bolt on it ) so that is one of the reasons.
the other reason is that that fitting is very big towards the one on the other side….
so new top mount bushes are coming today. if it is too close i will order a smaller fitting as well.
car will be back on its wheels later

black strippy bits are for the rear seat, go over the carpet
nice pre-insulated terminals! hopefully you have enough length to chop the carp out and crimp on nice new spades?

ahh thanks man
someone chopped the dash loom up and joined it up with a mk2 loom.
i think i am just going to replace it, i cant be bothered with all the hastle of cutting and re wiring. i have enough of that ahead of me when it comes to extending the engine loom lol
