another update at the end of the weekend as i should have the rad in and coolant pipes on and could maybe even have a video of the engine running.

i also have the golf booked in for an all sing all dancing alarm system to be wired in next wednesday and will be picking up my exspensive red HT leads tomorrow

single wiper was completed when i was doing bodywork as you have to smooth 2 holes off and reshape it and the wiper motor was in an update on around page 15 when i purchased strut rear lights and strut brace i custom made the wiper arm aswell but i dint update on thing like that otherwise this project would be 50 pages long :) lots of things been done that arent worth a shout imo but yeah im happy ith the single wiper :)

painted the brakes btw damoegan will be re painting the rear axle when i recoat/wax the underside of the car ;)

ive now fitted all the samcos and im chuffed i went for black ones as they blend in nicely i think! very annoyed about 1 of my BRAND NEW HAND MADE magnicor ht leads was broken they cost me so much!! so dont go asking why do i have a random black HT lead in amongst the red ones! anyway here are some pictures of the engine bay with the covers on, coolant bottle in, samcos and with rad in!
