Tomorrow im off work so hopefully have the rear seats and carpet out the front welding done and painted and suspension back in, may also have the mani and turbo back in. Then its just the rear welding and track rod end to sort and the light at the end of the tunnel will be showing.

Project baby BEL - N15_GTi - 29-06-2020
Awesome mate!
Project baby BEL - Mr Rae - 30-06-2020
Thanks, hopefully have it pritty much done today.
Project baby BEL - Rabster - 30-06-2020
With plenty of time to clean and prepare for JAE :-p

So its job done!! Got the passenger sill done this morning, bled the brakes and the coolant system, got the wheels on and the back seats in.
The exhaust tone is much crisper and sounds awsome with the new manifold. Shame i cant take her for a spin because of having no MOT, so i have to wait till monday for the retest.
Only the one picture tonight and thats the new safety extra in the boot...

Ive read and seen pictures and stories of peoples cars bursting into flames, so to give myself a chance to prevent that if it ever happened i bought this powder extinguisher (probably spelt wrong)
So thats the nasty job done, saving time now to get the bodywork done. Going to give her a good wash and polish tomorrow

Looks so much better mate glad its all sorted
Project baby BEL - Sparkystav - 01-07-2020
Always good to have an extinguisher, and a decent sized one as well!
