little update - got back from uni today to do another little slice of work to my car
basically this was is still the process of fitting a heater matrix.... quite a mission!!
first i gave the new one a quick clean then assembled the slider parts and got those working nice and freely
then we removed the inlet, strut brace and induction kit to have enough arm room to get at the piping "easily"
then finaly removed my bodge job which was surprising ly strong but didnt fulfil the function i needed to (and produced pink socks
)
tomorow or next weekend it will be time to:
1. fit the new heater matrix and airbox
2. refit all the engine bay side of things
3. dash and ancillaries
4. sand down drivers footwell and repaint with touch up
