il be keeping things up to date as and when things get done :)
atm gearbox to swap out and vac hose to dash to replace so i can see boost!
ive already started cleaning her up,so many cobwebs to rid of too.

starting with engine bay clean first,then under car is going to be cleaned up so i can fit new center section,stop some exhaust leaks.

then messages going out to try sort gearbox delivery now i can afford one,just 160 miles away from one
 
Have you got the stainless mongoose section to go on from Eklipze3k?? Was a bargain that, iirc i paid £25 for that.

Whereabouts is the gearbox dude?

when its done you can give blu a ride

When its done i will drive it myself :nerner:

Well before that I replaced flexible pipe from turbo to cat and that's cured exhaust blow ,brake light and exhaust rubber next and sorted she can't fail,fingers crossed
 
productive day,all little things too!

started with handbrake light,seems wire snapped at the connector,soon fixed and works once more,

rear 3rd light wasnt working,multimeter confirmed was power so re seated all connectors and tada! working break light.

exhaust hanger rubber had failed comepletely,so chucked spare one i had one,
as mentioned before replaced flexi section but seems a little shorter than ebfore so not sat right,if rain eases up il have another go at getting it settled

good news,since passing mot ive covered more miles in few days than Eklipze3k had done in the year with molly.

employment is back on track so molly will thrive once more,il be painting roof and front bumper soon,removing washers from front bumper and smoothing it out,

mods will not happen,at most like lovely shiny exhaust but to mimmick the stealth look of stock.

motorway driving is great fun,hard to drive in a eco way,i got 340 miles to tank enjoying it a bit much, i aim to do 400 next time!
