Hi mate, just catching up, that's the manifold and inlet manifold done, still waiting for the welder to get back to me, however I'm going to start looking around for someone else, as I've done all I can for now. I'll keep you updated.

Thanks for the help. Nearly done.

Hi Barry,
Got the tooling for the lambda sensor, used the ring spanner and my body weight to get it of, the soaking must have done the trick, did you have you use any special heat wrap on the wires, to protect them, ?

Hi Barry, I've ordered the lambda tool you mentioned and a ring spanner, I've been soaking the sensor for the last few days, I'll let you know how I get on when the tooling arrives, Thanks for the offer, but I'd be scared incase I broke it. On the Tyre issue, at some point I'll need to get four new ...

Ok, I'll have a look for that tool, I was using an open ended spanner and it didn't work.

Hi Barry, do you happen to have the lambda sensor on your new parts car, for the love of god mine won't shift , even with a hammer, it's not for moving, unless it's on a reverse thread. Lol.
The new tyres fill the arches well.

Hi Barry, I had the same issues with the wishbone bolts, and had to cut mine out, can't remember if I put copper slip on them, so I'll check . On a positive note, I fitted the exhaust manifold at the weekend. Sadly no man hole, jacked the car up as high as I could, undone the gear box mount but stru...

Gotta love the black once, looking good.

Hi Barry, good job with the mot, how are the recaro's, have you noticed a big difference when driving. The reason I'm asking is, I've got the std leather seats, but I think the recaro's look alot better.
I think I may start looking for a set., .. good to see the progress, keep up the outstanding work.

Looks OK to me,

Merry Christmas folks, all the best for the new Year,

I've been playing with dolls and Barbie's over Christmas ha ha.

The attention to detail is awesome, well done for having and idea and following it through.

But your the guy that knows everything, well in my eyes lol, we've got freezing cold weather, no snow yet, but it's coming, as you said its just too cold to do anything, not that I've got a car to-do anything too, ha!, cheers

Hi mate, when I had the interior out, and remember when James found the rust, I had a look inside the wheel arch and deep down in the inner sills, It was clean and rust free, however I will have another look, best to do it right first time. How you getting on with the suspension, I suspect I'll go d...

Hi Barry, I've not thought about the sills, if memory serves me well, it was the inner sill at the rear, where the hand brake cable is secured, that was rusty, the outer sills i'm sure where OK, I'll have a look the next time I go for a visit, but if they need done I'll get them done, in to deep to ...

Hi Barry, rust on the floor area, and hopefully a few other bits, it's a guy I know who is doing me a favour, so he's doing it inbetween other project he's got on the go. I'm in know rush, it allows me to get the other parts I need for the transformation, James has been a huge help with that. I reck...

Hi Barry, your an inspiration to us all, I prefer the recaro seats to the frp seats, but couldn't be bothered with all the extra work. So I may stick to the black leather set I have sitting in my garage, next to the frp wheels, but no car at the moment to put them on, ha ha, thank god I'm in no rush...

Pm sent

I think James should sell the heat shields to me ha ha

Thanks for the kind offer, but I just bought a set of frp wheels.

I'd be tempted, but I've just bought 17" frp rims.

Latest update on weather strips, as thought correct part number, wrong part, so getting the last one sent out on Thursday. Let's see if it happens. I'll update on Thursday

Well done mate, it's looking good, those seats look great, I may get a set for mine. When ever I get it back.

Hi mate, the part number is correct, but the part inside is wrong, the date on the label is June 2015, so looks like a return item, one end of the bag is open , so I'm guessing that's why I've got the wrong part, I can't test it for fitting as I've not got the car back yet. I've sent a email to them...

Hi folks,
Does anybody know the correct part number for the Door weather strip, I thought it was 1068402, as mentioned on this site, however I made the mistake of ordering this part without checking the part number, the one I received is chrome and not black.
