Been a bit slow out of the blocks with this one. Got the car in September, nice ebay bargain, cat C write off with minimal damage


Replaced the rear bumper and light cluster and bish bosh, damage sorted.

This just wasn't cutting the mustard

So this was acquired

As the car is a 316 manual the prop & diff were no use for the M50 conversion. A zoner came to the rescue with this complete rear end and full 325 prop which he had been tripping over for 2 years. £20 and theft of the wife's golf for a sunday morning =

Full 325 system from ebay £25. Garage slowly turning into a shithole


So with a spare rear end I decided I would do a full refurb on the spare and then just bolt the job lot back in.
Cleaned up the subframe a bit and then went a bit mad with the red hammerite



I'm currently sourcing all the bushes for the rear end, plus new top mounts, new brake pipes, drop links the whole shizzle.
Whilst I've been working under the car I've decided I'm gonna remove the fuel tank and spray it. It was replaced 5 years ago so I may be able to get it looking spotless and preserve it for longer. Will replace the fuel pipes and all brake pipes. Also plan to underseal the whole car so it all looks tip top.
Front end will get completely freshened up too.
Got an engine crane from daimlerman, so the lump will be on it's way out soon.

Just started loosening everything off and unplugging this lot ready for some action hopefully next weekend

That's all for now[youtube][/youtube]
