got a few more parts cleaned up & painted small update really
first of all the HID bulbs from ebay £7 odd posted its not a hid kit its just bulbs will be getting the hid kit soon though but theese a better than standards for now
next is some rear spax adjustable shocks & springs from the black sport not in the best of condition but nothing a bit of paint wont sort
got the brake pedal box all painted up cant think of the propper name for it
Pic of the steering rack all painted up not the best of pics but does the job
got pics of the black sport before it went on the scrap van but pointless putting them on
updates should come quicker now as i have more time on my hands so tomorrow going to tackle the engine & get it clean ready for painting

drivers side..
black boot will be getting smoothed & dewiperd when it comes to spraying it
here's the wonkey mudflaps & exhaust
lowerd the rear of car today it seems dead bouncy & hard need to sort something out as its a bit rough on the speed humps around here but the shocks have the rear adjuster's so will have a play with them tomorrow
not that much of a difference with the springs hoping to go lower will get pics of the rear of the car tomorrow as it was dark & hopefully they will settle a little lower
will give the car a clean tomorrow & get some pics up hopefully will have the front of the car lowerd as it needs doing badly & will be puttin the engine back togeter ready to go in wantit in before christmas

been getting all the last bits and bobs sorted ready for the engine swap..
sorted the full x16xe wiring out it was in a right mess but 60m of electritian tape later it was all sorted out and nice and tidy what a nightmare it was
also tidy'd all the hoses up cleaned them and give them a little spray of tyre black which made them all shiney black again
orderd the headgasket set and that came yesterday
orderd the gearbox gasket set should be here later today
going to pick up the sump gasket & oil filter,spark plugs,airfilter ect: later today
then all thats left to do is clean the head of the engine and start fitting everything back onto it ready to go in when this weather calms down ...
will try and get some pics up of the car later today needs a good clean but theres no point with the snow now and im hopefully going to pick up my gsi bumper today or saturday
