just recived some genuine gsi skirts so the black ones will be getting sold..
engine is getting picked up from my mates tomorrow so i can crack on with it at my house .. will be taking the 1.0 out of my car soon.. as it dont drive no more its gave in so more of an excuse to crack on and get the 1.6 in 
alloys have been sprayed black but not happy with the colour so will be getting changed as soon as the engine is in thinking of going white

went back up my mates to pick the fuel pump & tank up & the scrap man has took it along with the radiator so a new radiator is on the list ..
what im wanting to know is can i use the tank and fuel pump from the 1.0 12v on the sport engine or do i have to go out and buy a fuel pump from a sport...

you can use the tank, but i think the fuel pump might not be powerful enough
ive got a fuel pump from a 1.6 16v sport if u wanna buy one mate
