That is amazing bud , lovin the colour to . What are the wheels on the rear M8 ? Seriously can't wait to see this done , that engine bay is a work of art . Dave

Your not kidding there wide lol . Looks sweet as mate . Dave

B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L =D such a good build thread and becoming such a piece of art!!

the polished steering rack and everything =D just wish you could get it sprayed, as surely once youve got it in paint then it should be just a case of re-building most of it now??

yeah once its painted it should go together quite quickly but its the engine that needs the most work and time spending on it just need a lupo sport or 16v gearbox :) if anyone knows of a cheap one going somewhere then let us know

I have missed seeing new pictures of this! So glad you are back on the build. I almost want to take my valver box out and give you it just so you can get it finished quicker!

got a nice 16v interior for sale if anyone is interested?

Some wear and one little cig burn on the drivers side seat but not that bad

make me an offer but not a silly one

pick up only :)

also on ebay.

got the mk1 rad out the loft today thought i would have a go at fitting it.

had to do some little alterations to the full panel though

managed to get it fitting rather nice with a bit of cutting band fine tweaking

well another step forward :) starting to look like a car again, really happy with the progress today.

top fill rad FTW...nice to see you back on the job with this...hope the job search is going ok too.

could you not fit a slimline fan to that rad?? the factory one just looks bulky and grimy

yeah might have to yet depends on where the engine sits. i quite like the fan and housing though coz it has an old skool look to it.

That's alot of work but looks sweet as , do think the top fill rad would look the bollocks in that mega clean bay tho bud . Dave

to be honest it was rather straight forward and didn't really take that long.

ignore the rust on the fan housing its gunna be shot blasted and powder coated

That's cool mate , the fan housing looks like my old mk2 golf one , what colour you doing it ? Dave

dunno i might just get it done in black powder coat or cream like the bay

Sounds good mine was polished . Think black would go well with your bay , break it up a bit . Dave

Mike, I've hidden all my rad, and fan infront od the front pannel leaving nothing visable inside the bay- Food for thought possibly? It was a bitch to bleed but it's in and running sweet now,

Chris-

i like the fan on show it gives it that older look but thanks anyways
