cutting the skin & attaching it to the shell with dzus fasteners soon like a good plan

got a few little jobs done,

got some jubilee clips for the coolant pipe so she now holds water
ordered the manifold bolts yesterday, here Monday
removed the PAS pipes
found/refitted the lost tie-bar nut, which i've also ordered a new one of
ground a bit more from the engine bay bulkhead
replumbed front brakes

going to get Pirtek to extend the PAS pipes

front brake pipes now linked together

next doors neighbours garden has been cleared so got alot more room, the other side is jacked up which is why the front is high

**p fandango** · Thursday 27th January 2011, 17:21

my MSD bulkhead feed-thru turned up this morning as well as the number plate lights, need to get some proper HT leads sorted for it & wire the lights up but the list of jobs is getting shorted

. Next job is to fit the manifold gasket & secure that on properly & think she can be started then, also got the alloy for the door cards so can start on them

Not, and if things go according to plan G, I wont be in her for long, but the deal I'm gettin her is a blinder for me and the guy selling her, so it's a win-win all round really... I'll see what time the gaffer wants to leave cov at, and if nothing more we'll pop in an say hello on the way out...
