Cheers. this arrived today, something for the MoT man to enjoy

Looks spot on Dave, where did you get the screen and is it the one with the green band on the top? did you do the foams on the 4 dash vents too?

Ended up painting my original engine cover and finally got all the HT leads on etc. just the slam panel and bumper to paint and it’s pretty much there

🤣 they do look great and probably so

Hi Dave, all the plastics are the ones I got from you thanks 👍

And now I’m very nearly there.

All the little bits take up so much time. Been sorting water pipe clips

Thanks, do you have the details of the filter you fitted please? did it all fit ok?

I need one of these housings, mine is a late car but has the cap without the centre part. Where can you get them from please?

Powder coating isn’t the correct way for the chassis parts, if you get a chip then the water gets behind and rusts it. You are better with a blast and paint system with correct primer etc. can you drill the stud out? Start with a small drill in the centre and work up in sizes? Get some WD40 in there too

Small update, managed to find some NOS green water hose clips 👌

Cant see the pictures mate

TL Derby VW often have them. I have a contact there if anyone wants me to ask if they have any or when they will have more?

So finally got the engine back in the car, pretty chuffed with the outcome.

Even happy with the back of the engine 😁
