Well i attacked the brake servo and master cylinder with hammerite spray paint , first thing i will say is this stuff is a nightmare to paint and goes on like p*ss, seams the lightest coat ever is needed to give the paint something to stick to once its gone tacky, anyway here are a few pics.





quick pic of first coat on the master cylinder *just shows how thin the paint is*


then gave my gearbox a lick of paint to tidy it up.

Good job!, keep the pics coming. I always use plasti-kote rather than hamerite as I always thought it was to thin as well.

bit of an update, firstly i brought and fitted a 1.9 mi16 push clutch to the gti6 engine and bolted on the gearbox.




Then i reseamsealed the eghaust tunnel where the heat had caused the o/e stuff to all crack of.


shutzz the front arches


Gave the driving light cases a lick of paint as they were battered after only 4 months of use (denji/bad quality)


Then fitted Various brackets, subframe and brake servo back into the engine bay.


along with a pair of new pug arb bushes

theres been a delay in updates as the things ive been doing include

fitting genuine cambelt kit
replacing nuts and bolts from the subframe,
fitted engine and loom and fired it up for the first time and it all works.
collected a pair of new front wings

and now ive just stripped the manifold back down for paint and im working out the route to take with regards to plumbing the engine in.







Ive also been plumbing in the gti6 using some of the 8v hosing aswell as the thermostat adapter (curtoisy of baker bm) and some random hosing from scrapyards.





Ive not plumbed up the oil cooler housing as im going to get a remote oil cooler (mocal or similar)

Only thing ive realised now is the only bleeding point i have is the one on the thermostat, any ideas if i will manage to bleed the system ok.

Blue Plug looks to be off the Coolant Temp Sensor (Warning Lamp/Gauge) but if you've already plugged something in there thats Blue then i'm stumped.

The Black Plug is off the MAP Sensor Wiring Loom and I think its spare, although I have no answer as to why its spare.

Well , as most of the engine side of things is complete i decided to take the plunge and begin attacking the bodywork..
First i removed the dash ready as i dont want to have to dodge this around spraying,


Then i removed the door pins which had seen better days, cant wait to get these replaced and see if it looses the play.


Then i decided to begin preping the boot floor which has a fair few dints, im not to worried about it being perfect but i decided to fill some low spots and block it off.. Im by no means a bodywork guy but i like to learn so hey may aswell give it a go where the finish isnt a huge problem.



One thing that has worried me is towards the back of the roof i have 3 very small holes (not sure what caused this) its solid around the holes, question is how do i attack it, i dont think it can be welded due to roof warping, i cant get underneath is as there is a stenghting bar right in the way so thats not possible.
Advice & suggestions

looks like the car's coming along nicely man. i've got to give credit where it's due - working on a drive, you certainly have a lot more patience and love for cars than i do!
