:shock: Run away! There is a thread somewhere of the work being done... I'll try to find it. Oh, and good work on the purchase, it's a nice car :) Edit, here's the thread, but the pictures have been deleted :(

Yup. :( And I keep remembering things to add to it...

I'm happy to scrap it out for the 16v's honour. I'll obviously be naked and covered in chip fat.

I guess i'll find out if there isn't going to be a lock on your bedroom door in a couple of weeks. :tongue:

:camp: :grin: Knew it was only a matter of time before someone used that smilie! :lol: I'll have you know that bailey's can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a heterosexual lifestyle. Or as part of a ladyboy chaser...

Yeah, but I don't think I'll be able to unbend a 996 in our shed....

and when that's done, I can move onto another project.... :norty:

Just returned from Pete_Griff's with a trailer load of parts for the VR ready for a quick clean and bolting up under the VR. Cheers Dude! Now have nice newly painted front subframes, wishbones, front hubs and rear axle, all rebushed and with new bearings. Refurbished PAS rack and pump, eibach rear ARB, new brake lines and assorted odds and sods. Will have a marathon fitting session next weekend hopefully...

It's nice when it all just undoes isn't it? I've not long returned home with a trailer load of parts for my VR. :) I've had a GSF header tank in my valver for about 4 years, it's been pretty good really...

I'd like to see you try and find my Dad! If you do, let me know where he is! :lol: Is it too wrong to make a joke about him being in the box at the end of my bed?

:) Lucky boy.

Radio friendly unit shifter is one of my favourite songs ever. And if you disagree I'll turn your dad....

ROFL!

:) How've you gotten on today?

Not much really... :) Good work all round.

Good to see the car stay on here... The spec sounds great. I'd be well chuffed to be able to buy a car with all of that already done to it. :)

I think I feel sad.

Basically, there is a metal hook which is screwed to the door pillar with a rubbery covering. Use a screw driver to lever it up and off of the hook from the bottom.

There is a hidden bolt in the water pump housing, you need to attack it from below and get a long extension into the bracket above where the PAS pump pipes run.

Take the pas pump off altogether....

It's the central locking pump.

Yeah, I know, but I wanted to get into some pork based conversation to lighten the mood. :tongue:
