Little update, got the other side in paint yesterday and started putting some bits back on today.



Other side in paint,



Plan now it to get it back in one piece with the help of Ash and get it running again.. take it for a drive up and down the private road a couple of hundred times... and then throw it into MOT.. laugh as it fails miserablly on emmisions and see what needs replacing if anything. This is after I service it..

Once anything broke is replaced I'll throw a standard exhuast on, standard manifold and standard induction and hope to fook it goes through. It scraped through last year.. this year it has not been run so hopefully that will help.

Sort brake cylinder out, paint other little bits and bobs.. heat wrap le fanny mould. Finish the strut brace that I started painting yesterday. Replace rusty bolts and hinges etc fit the kent cam sticker after re-painting the rocker cover again lol... buy new battery terminal screw thingy ma bobs.

Finally steam clean teh engine bay, and make it look all shiny and shit.

fuck me I have allot to do by next month :'(

Anyone want to place bets on what car I will be taking to the ring haha?

which ever one has the battery that works :D

nice car mate like the wheels on the black one

To be fair, it probally will go down to that...

shes looking good james

Tar big lad :)

youll end up taking the green one

just dont redex the black one whilst its having its mot like i did...

put mine in for mot and it was still on the same tank as the redex and it just scraped through

Looking forward to seeing this on the road mate.

Right,

Massive thanks to Craig (saxo180), got a mark 1 zaust on now with the CAT in. Middle pipe is not attached but i'll explain to the MOT guy on monday that he might as well pass it because as soon as I get home i am putting the piper back on lol

Massive HUGE thanks to yates and mark51 for servicing it, was funny as fuck.

Dismantling my car though while i am driving it.... HARSH lol

Car is now up and running, ready for it's MOT on Monday morning.

Needs a new headlight but thats getting sorted saturday morning, *hopes to god it passes*

Plans for wheels = They will go gloss black when the tyres get replaced next week. Going for the stealth look. Mind is set up on this one now.. did a photoshop and it looked fooking sexual.

Major clean over the weekend with Ash as well (he does not know yet), so hopefully the detailing will go all well.

I can't wait to drive it down the lanes on Monday to the MOT centre... feel like a kid waiting for christmas lol

About time mate ;) lol!

Glad you managed to get everything done on it. Is it going to make Germany this year then? This and Adamsax's are my favourite MK1s on here without a doubt, sure you'll look after it too mate.

What happens with Green one now?

Don't know what I'll do with my green one... I have had it 4 years and in a gay kind of way I feel 'attached' to it. Fucking hate it but it's never let me down lol

We will have to wait and see I guess.

Do you wish you never split it now?

Money was the only reason mate and I am so happy I did...

I'd still be piling money into it now if I never did. Reality check - Stop spending thousands of pounds on tin cans lol

Black on black Mk1 will look sexual :y:

Can't wait to see pics of it on the 'Ring

which mot centre you going to???

hahahaha it was great fun torturing James...

hahaha

all good fun and games

Driving 5 miles with no gear knob was rather painful to be honest..

MOT tommorow.. *crosses fingers*

good luck little black car :hug:
