Blindfaith 2.Yet Another Winter Project.

[S49]

At least now with winter coming on i can build bits up in the shed i store it in. Where as the stage it was at this time last year once the weather closed in that was that,

Scratching my head over the dash build up i have the cold start "choke" lever, grown ups will know what a choke is. But no sign of anything to connect it to on the injection pump. The pump has tamper proof wire soldered to the idle and fuel screw adjusters, never seen that before so perhaps the pump has been rebuilt. Anyone have a spare blanking plug for the choke on the dash. I know that the posh later TDI's have such a thing.

Got the old exhaust on, just so its out the way.

And heres the proof that its a waste of timing pissing about with scuttle drain tubes. You could get a bus down those gaps.

Even found the wires for the interior lights.

Nice job Si.

Cheers i have another with a bust mesh. I think i've said before i'm too quick with the welder. I noticed after the mesh is "spot welded" in. With a bit of thought i could have undone them with the soldering iron and swapped the mesh, Oh well its logged for next time.

I dont know why i refitted the exhaust Santa said shes getting me a Cybox side exit system for crimbo.

The wife brush painted the doors, so i have the job of wet sanding them. Its getting there, not fantastic but i wasent going to pay some clown to park it in their bodyshop for 18 months while coming up with ever more outlandish reasons why it wasent ready when promised as time went by.
