Ha!!

lol we did one driveshaft each what u on! hahah :p

I took them off the 1.0 haha!

ha fair point lol

ah well. be done soon mate

Whats the problem with the mk3 and a facet eric?

You stumped with the wiring? You dont actually need one if your running a lift pump

we ripped the whole engine bay out and replaced it with the mk2 stuff. even fusebox. tbh thats what took alot of the time.

yeah just not sure what to do with the injection pumps ect.

plus side is, we did get it to turn over. so we know the loom is in correctly. just minor niggly things now.

whoever owned this car before needs a slap though. its shagged LOL

  • Author

Who ever owned it before is a prick its costing me a fortune un-bodging everything

iirc don't you keep the lift pump at the tank and ditch the high pressure injector pump?

think so. but how do you get rid of it? just disconnect the fuel lines either side and get a joiner? or just replace the whole section of pipe

On mine i swaped my injector pump for a facet.

But Looks good :D

Edited by bugpolo

thats good news. so leave the lift pump as it is yeah?
