and its done.... the silver one is laid up in my garage while u decide to sell or break. after the usual and obligatory problems.. issues...and bits breaking...i got it though the mot. still have a few minor issues like rev counter goes haywire after 4000 rpm and need to tidy a few wires... even though i tripled my intended budget..it was worth it. felt the difference straight away. no so punchy but pulls forever!!! my corrado grin is back... plans are building now for body to be sorted then chip and remap for some subtle power.. should be out and about this summer

rouge or cerium oxide will remove scratches i work in glass industry and we use it daily. needs to be mixed to a smooth paste and applied to scratch.. using a soft buffing wheel on a high speed air drill. you buff around the scratch. what a scratch is...is part of the surface is damaged so you need to wear the glass down around the scratch to make it level and then go over area and it will disappear..wheel needs to be wet at all times. if wheel sticks it heats glass. if scratch can be felt with finger nail...ie it catches your nail and sticks its too deep.. its a messy job!!!!!

ok engines in and the rebuild begins... sorted alternator etc.. still unsure about plug E and now the lambda....splice wires or use mk3 lambda
-
first of all.....sorry if in wrong section right then I've stripped the wiring from C leaving lights ...wipers etc the abf loom i have still has the alternator and starter still wired including battery terminals.. my questions.. is it easier to rip out the battery terminals and earth from the c and use abf ones? also the abf has plug E attached can i leave the one already there or do i use the abf one.... i have searched and researched and confused myself a little
