[merc85]

Before pics



After degreasing them i them gave them all a clean and polish



Coming on well, but its made me relise how clean blacky was lol

[AndysR]

[merc85]

Has this turn up today



So didnt waste anytime fitting it, (now its the correct one) lol



Desparitly gotta sort the header tank out, as its anoying me.

[merc85]

This is where she's currently at,

Few more things to sort ie Header tank, some sort of exhaust as the tail piece is rubbish, new tailgate struts as in the cold weather the tailgate can fall on your head lol, and adjustment of the pnp switch as the reverse lights dont work. Oh and a splitter would be good too.

Apart from that all good.

Other than the stuff mention earlier, not really atm, money is tight lol she's mechanically spot on, body is really really nice, Would like to get the front Bumper painted to tidy up the little stone chips, and perhaps get the front and rear bumpers colour coded, but keep the side moulding Original.

Performance wise, may fit a walbro pump as the volvo one must be getting tired now at 170k. probably just keep the rest stock. Dont even really know has she goes as im still driving her easy after the head refurb but she's certainly torquie and quiet.

I think my header tank is a fair bit cleaner than yours mate and it should be up for grabs soonish.

Cheers Graham, gonna get it sorted at of this month, £18 plus vat new same as what i put on Blacky, i have got 2 other's spare which were better, but i thought at that price i may as well just get a new one. but thankyou

No worries mate, tbh I thought you'd go new but I thought I'd offer.

[merc85]

I think the v70 one's are slightly different anyway bud.

Got round to doing quite abit on Roundy over the past weak, Thanks Andy for Dyeing the Seat

Change the god dam aweful header tank, then Free'd off the rear wiper and sprayed it all up with grease on the inside, works a treat. Eagle eye'd amongst you may have noticed the Exhaust tip to. Stainless 4" trim Rolled outer, which will do for the time being.


Here's the bay



Here's the Clio blade 1998-2005 in case you peeps didnt know



And the Drivers seat Bolster, it wasnt damaged but the colour had been rubbed off so AndysR dye'd it back for me, exact colour match too



Next on the list is to get my Dent man to sort very very minor car part indentations out on the n/s doors, dont really notice them but i do lol.
