The new wiper motor is in:
Along with the new tank breather from the guys at THINKAUTO (5/16 inline tank breather) + 8mm ID flange K&N filter, ordered in to my local Halfrauds, they can get me any K&N I like within two days if its in stock in the UK, I know Halfrauds arent the cheapest but they can get the goods if you need it..
I removed the two front bulkhead side peices after the dyno session so I could get them ready for spraying, all welds sanded back and a bit of filler to get them nice and soooth and hey presto, ready for Stuart to spray them:
The I went about fitting the grille, bit of a barsteward tryign to fit a mk1 grille to a mk4 shell, plus I have a fwe extra holes that I dont need but you have to look close to notice them. The bumper got cut down a few weeks ago and I have thrown it there for good measure, I need to get two outer stays welded on st the original two were cut of when shortening it to accept the new massive arches. Also my super duper air directing carbon fibre bit makes it a real sod to get any form of nut on the back of the bolts (3mm), I had to tape a nut to my finger and feel my way onto the back of the bolt.
For anyone thinking of doing one of these conversions but only have a small signle garage, check out how much room I have in mine in the next two photos, it can be done, its a squeeze and you have to plan your work, but it is possible.
