The road to recovery...*update 3/9/11*

well,finelly took my car home today to get all sorted with it and built back up again,has been at a friend house since august last year.

was in a sorry state of itself...

gave it a good wash,was looking a hell of a lot better,i really cant wait to bring it back to the way it should be.

plans are along with refitting the new engine.

declutter the engine bay,what ever is not nessecary will be removed.
custom electric power steering set up.
possible wire tuck(will see if i can be assed too!)
completely poly bush every suspension component,then repaint them.
new brakes all round.

and a few other bits and pieces,drawing up a list of ideas at the min.
sorry abt the crap pics!
ill be updating this thread with progress and pics.
ive a busy few weeks ahead!!

Nothing a little bit of TLC won't sort Johnny, it'll be easier to work at now the lighter nights are rolling in.

and the late evnings are what drove me to get this out again!

had a spare hour so thought id get somthing done with the bay!
ripped out the charcoal canister,and related vaccum jazz.
and trying to figure out some re-routing of wires,and a location for the electric power steering pump.

gave the bay a quick wash and all it needs is a few scrapes touched up and some polish(dirt was an excellant protection film,lol!)

sorry about the crap pics again,really need to get batterys for my camera!
