Yeah it was great mash getting my hands dirty! I had a good run of things going well, but it was starting to die off with the seat belt bracket sadly. So I packed my tools up and went in. Rule is if things are going well stop, that way you come back on a mental high. Also i give my speaker wire end a little nip to make the sound a lot better, My friend on friday told me of his fond memories of the charger, and said it was a cracking buy! Be nice to get that put to bed at some point. ![]() Success is 90% Inspiration and 4 minutes Preparation # you can make it! |

My dad has on his, and it runs a lot better, Mine seems to be running a lot better, but that could have been due to the exhaust and fuel pipe problem.

Its as close now as it will be for an MOT, as I have just fitted the replacement seatbelt mount. So I will just throw it in for an mot to see what happens. Chances are it will fail
