as the car is now relaxing for the winter (off the road) I decided to start the engine & let it idle with the heater running to dry the interior as its somewhat moist in this part of Wales nothing else to report.... Rich.

Completed the wiring for mk2.5 headlight conversion, finished spraying new bumper (jury is out on the quality of it, not expecting much from rattle cans). Swapped the slim D1 quick release for a normal size one to space the wheel closer to me.
Next up get the bumper on then crack on fitting the turbo kit.

Rich. Still no change. *End* well, not quite true..... have looked at an industrial garage unit to rent (not suitable for vehicle use) but have another to see shortly that is aproved for vehicle / 'hot' work thats closer...... suppose if I only had the one car & the garage was empty then I'd be able to work at home Rich.

Finished a special rear heatshield to keep heat out of the boot on the trubro car. I've taken a standard heat shield and added heat-reflective matt to it, with high temp epoxy.
