bit of time on the car today..

first fitted fuel filter and fuel lines, starter motor and then started on intercooler pipes

not happy with pipe to throttle body so not connected that yet. PS belt / alternator belt not on yet as PS is dry.. filled gearbox with oil which took forever with a sucker thingy from the pot it was drained into..

need to sort the intercooler to turbo pipe too which was always suppose to be temporary..

bumper on.. sides need securing properly yet but couldn't find the bolts

wired and fitted a new 3bar map sensor as couldn't find the one from the wagon..

fitted a battery, bleep from the alarm.. key fob with a new battery and locks and unlocks without issue.. another worry unnecessary!

I then fired it.. small panic as throttle was stuck slightly open.. 5000rpm on first crank after cranking with ht leads off first to get oil circulating.

then fitted head lights, sidelights and grill.. headlights are temp as passenger side is cracked and the fixing not ideal from hitting the tyre wall etc..

really liking the colour now

full closure alarm was a bonus!!

that is impressive

It's looking like a real car now.

I think the colour is nice, sort of mint green.

Have to call you LAMB CHOP from now on.

[Jolly Green Monster]

not sure on the real name but it is often referred to as peppermint green

Stuart at www.swautos.co.uk who owners the workshop where the car currently is said today that the next two days is fairly light workwise so he may get the mechanics to swap my brakes rather than them doing nothing.. he hates paying them to do nothing [smile] I expect last minute stuff will come in and they won't get time but it would save me some hassle.. [Wink]

I have to thank him for use of his tools and of course the storage of the cars

Looking good Simon, looks like you've been working very hard.

[Jolly Green Monster]

big thanks to SW Autos who took the brakes off the wagon for me today

[Jolly Green Monster]

did a little this afternoon, battery stay, cleared out unwanted stuff in boot, ps / alternator belt on, played with intercooler pipes and planned out new pipes for when I redo intercooler pipes... I then replaced ps pump on my other scoob as it failed spectacularly yesterday!

couple of picks to follow

Simon

[Jolly Green Monster]

a nice road I need to explore again in the new car rather than the 300bhp one

brakes and shafts etc

hit the tyres again

si are you throwing all the dash panels as may want some to try out some new mods for mine ???????

which ones?

I will be removing the dash..

If you mean the heater surrounds I will be keeping it as I have fitted gauges in it.. but I have another dash coming with my cage so it might have one on it..
