Im so bored. i want to get a move on with it. And i cant because an engine mount is taking ages to get to me,. so iv decided to keep her off the road a bit longer than planned, do some extra work, do the clutch, get some new shocks and springs on her, Try and find an intercooler that meets my requirements.
make everything look really nice in the engine bay, and then maybe just about catch onto the end of SPA.

Given the, um, lack of distinction between household and garage items in your house, it's probably being used as a plate-rack by the missus already!

I've been dogged by waiting for various bit 'n' bobs. Reading this thread is like my own blog (see below). Most of the front end done but having to replace the petrol tank due to straps rusted away at the moment. Found loads more rust on subframe and rear suspension on removing bumper to access the tank easier when will it end

no meat at all left on this plate. and it was falling apart this box was quite a pig to get out, here is a few pointers if you are thinking about doing your own clutch. when taking out the drive shafts, the 8 mm allen key bolts, dont bother playing around with an L shape allen key, get down to halfords and buy a 1/2 inch drive allen socket, did the job in 10 minutes where it had taken me half a day to get 3 bolts out. follow the how too or workshop manual and leave the mounts on till the end. buy a rather big lever,crowbar or big fat screw driver to help with the seperations

follow the how too and leave the mounts on till the end.
you need to do that, other wise you can hurt your self!! buy a rather big lever,crowbar or big fat screw driver to help with the seperations
you should be able wiggle but a screw driver/leaver will help!!
