Started the list
I managed to get a few hours on the car today whilst it was sunny.
ECS Inlet Manifold Cover
Old Vs New
I wasn't happy with the 1k lacquer always bubbling. I guess I could have tried 2k now that I have all the gear, but I wanted a reliable looking item which would put up with anything.
Pollen Filter
Old Vs New
It's amazing how dirty these things get, even when sitting around
Glass Rear Wiper Delete
Received this in the post this morning.
So much better than the acrylic version, tinted and fitted really easily. Really liking the mod now.
Butyl Sealant
This arrived in the post today. Big thanks to Richard (RDS) for pointing me in the right direction on Graham81's RR thread I did all 4 doors and hopefully it'll cure the leaking driver's side doors.

Here's how the list stands... Still a way to go...
General
Fit new ECS CF Inlet Manifold Cover - Done.
Do an engine flush with fresh oil, filter and new copper washer on the old magnetic plug.
Fit new Pollen Filter - Done.
Fit new Fuel Filter (anyone any ideas how this is done ).
Fit new glass Rear Wiper Delete - Done.
Adjust the Rear Upper Strut Brace and fit some S/S end fitments.
Steam clean the interior along with the steering wheel, which has mould growing in the dimples from storage (damp).
Butyl all 4 doors as the rear passenger one has a leak - Done.
Front
Remove old brakes and prepare the hubs.
Service front Airlift modules and Coilovers.
Clean down the wheel arches, stone chip and paint in Futura Yellow (couldn't get Ovni).
Roll the arches and trim the arch liner to suit.
Fit the new brakes and brake lines.
Fit the new poly bushed dog mount.
And fit the R32 ARB if I can source one cheap (but not likely this time round)
Rear
Remove the rear axle, have sandblasted and powder coated.
CNC a set of rear caliper brackets to accept 323mm x 22 mm 2-piece Compbrake rotors.
Refurbish the original calipers with paint and new seal set.
Fit rear axle poly bushes which I've had sat in the shed for 2 years.
Roll the arches a tad more than factory and trim the arch liners to suit
Stone chip and paint the rear arches and underneath.
Put back together with new brakes lines.
I'm out tomorrow but should get a few more hours on it on Wednesday. Still waiting for a few bits to arrive to accomplish the above list.
