Been a rough road it seems with the parts not being up to standard :-( Sounds like progress is being made though in the right direction though and hopefully the fault can be determined and a refund if it is due to you. Keep at it bud :-)
Looks sweet! No cooling fans though? Also where do you get the miners from? Wish I had bought loads when they were dirt cheap but never even heard about I this until this thread lol
Check the lever rod that opens the vent just to be sure. As my old 82 did that then when I had a look noticed the rod has come off so moving the lever from hot to cold actually did fuck all lol
The mk1 is probably going to be sold to it's old owner and I won't have the new car to replace it until next year tbh. Don't want to get it up here in this weather like. You keeping your 82 now boss? Also this thread has fairly kicked off lol
