While I was waiting for charger to come back I fitted new head lining. No photos of that tho forgot to take some as I was covered in glue. Got all the glass fitted and started fitting the front and crack it just went 
So I got a replacement from local glass place, green tint £60 he dropped it off and said i will fit it for £70 all in cash. So cost me £10 to get it fitted well worth it. A new pics of it where it is now. 



I popped to local scrappy as they had a mk2 in and I wanted the servo so got that and a bmw positive wire from boot to front both £30

Also grabbed me a little bargain 4 branch stainless £40 

Just got to get brake lines in then the engine will be goingin hopefully this week.

Well got the brake lines finished and all bled up. Had one leak, not bad really for a first Go at a flaring tool.   

Then with a bit of help from the old man got the engine in. All before Xmas like I wanted. 

IM hoping on getting the looms mad up over Xmas, not got much hope though as I hate wiring.  :(

Looking great Matt.

Rubjonny is a legend when it comes to wiring and I'm sure he will help if you're stuck.

I can try to help but all of the information is from him really :lol:

Thanks. Yeah I have spoke to rubjonny and have a few links of him to help me. I would definitely have him do it for me but he said he was booked till next year. Just shows how good he is I suppose. So will just double check everything really. But not started anything yet and it's already playing on my mind.  O_o
