Rebuild kit ordered and clips on their way also.


Maybe try to get the rears sorted at the same time. Discs and pads likely not go amiss.

Cv boot

Brake kit

Rear brake refurb and new pads

New tyres on.

Radiator pipe work to be rework (may standard and willy standard is different lol)

Intercooler pipe work? Similar issue.


Glad willy is taking so much to do with sorting it, really awesome seeing the car slowly come together.


The intercooler supports was a bit of magic welding (I can't weld) by Wilbert.


With Jay on the parts and advice

Willy on the 'refurbing of everything he touches'

Chris on the setup and tuning


Really think I'm on to a winner.
