Looking at yours closely on that pic it looks like an add on parts thats welded into place.

Going to take a trip down to the replacement panels place locally and see if they can actually get that bit. Should be able to weld that one without breaking a sweat then :)

Also from above comment- nope not any sound deadening on mine, itll be rather loud inside i should think

Cant make out if its any of these parts?



Good news from this though is i can buy the seperate bit at a later date to relocate my towing eye :)

I cant see it on that pic mate, but it is a bit thats welded on def - not part of the chassis as such.

Louder is better :)

Looks like this part dude ;)

Excellent, im hoping the replacement panels place (NRP) can get it easily enough.

Apart from that lots of other promising things from today, all the plugs i was worried about on the loom from being broke all are on the old loom so i can cut and solder them onto the VTS loom

Ones that i was unsure of location wise we've found too :)

nah thats passengers side mate,

Doh!!!!!

Fast moving process dude!

More pics of the bay stripped and being prepped for paint please :)
What colour are you going for, same as the exterior?

Good luck with the final part of phase 2 and fitting/wiring all the odd bits and pieces into place :y:

Cheers Red :)

The engine bay is going black, so much easier to keep clean etc etc and i think itll look neater than in yellow

Half way there Matt :p

I was thinking red as i saw it in a GTI back at FCS and i thought it was mint

Where did you end up getting the Samco/SFS hoses from in the end?
Samco are shite for practicality and SFS make better hoses which are much cheaper i've found...

Quick question...How do you remove the firewall from the engine bay and where was that radiator from for £50!? :)

Radiator Josh (jpsaxo) ordered from me, drop him a Pm im sure he'll sort something out for you :)

Removing the firewall? My car never came with one. Middle aged posh lady the owner before me, very much doubt she'd have removed it so im assuming they dont come on 1.0 models - Citroen weight saving? lol

*** coughs****;)

haha i wouldn't say no...

Grab a power tool and come on down lol :)

I bet the middle aged lady was gonna track it but decided to use a vts lol!

Well bye bye the old engine haha..

Nice one Matt!! Need any tea making give us a shout :P

Did i mention that Aid is an absolute legend :) .wouldn't believe how much i appreciate it :)

i think the bit your after matt from looking at the pictures is this bit.
