After much blood,sweat,tears and heffing and jeffing i got my new interior all in and all good.Gotta love the heated seats .Had a major problem with 1 bolt on the driver's seat that wouldn't budge for love nor money.In the end up a very kind neighbor drilled out the bolt and re-threaded a new 1 for me.It took me about 4hrs from start to finish.Boy what a difference the new seats have made to my arse .Here are some pics of it.









Thx Scott mate u is a star

All i need now is to source some fog-lights and the fronty nudge bar with the 2 spot lights to finish it off,so if any one knows of a cheap set can you let me know plz thx ppl.Any comments are welcome

Saw it in your works carpark yesterday was going to take a pic and post in the spotted thread bit that carpark has a massive camera on the entrance so thought it might look a bit dodgy lol

[hipo1024]

Got bored of the car infront sat in traffic on the way home today so took a few byways home instead. Really nice doing my local lanes again as I haven't done them for about 2 years. Lost a bit more lacquer and gained lots of mud to cover the scratches lol

Treat her to a coat of Polish, round three of swilling the mud out of the undercarriage from Kirton, and primed the bumper for touch up.

Managed to get my knakerd engine out! Now ready to start swapping the ancillaries over. Swapping the fuel pump is the bit im most concerned about. But i have got the garage owner thats going to do that bit. Once thats done the new engine should go back in on tuesday. Going to swap the clutch slave cylinder and rear crankcase oil seal while the DMF is off. There has been some debate about which oil to put in so if anyone has got that information can you send me a pm? Ta bobster.

Castrol recommends 6.1L 5W30 Fully synthetic. That is also what I believed it to be.

Good luck buddy

[4x4 bobby]

[RatCav]

As for me I finished undersealing the old Mk.I

[martinkettering]
