Try again….

Thank you! They are but wiring is quite different. Does confirm where that fork sits though. Look how clean your wings are!!!

steering column is in. What a bastard. The lower hole here is screen wash to the rear. Any idea what top one is?! Right next to brake booster

Is it for left hand drive electric's?
Been ages since worked on these

Looks like a tube is going in there on one of my pictures. It will be so much easier after next week as I’ll have another disco for reference

Speedo cable….???

It’s alright taking photos but unless you have them all to hand and neatly marked it can be a pain. A spare motor will help.
What you doing with this doner??

Some how Iv been requested to look at a S3 to rewire with a new loom. Owner has already removed the old loom…. Bet there’s no labels that’s why he called me.

Im not entirely sure yet. I’m going to use it as a van for a bit but it won’t be a donor. I’d like to keep going with d1s. Maybe repair and sell a couple, break the rotten ones. See how we go! I also need to tick an RRC off

A lot of the disco is the same as RRC,chassis the same,body mounts,floor,front end are all the same design. So once you done 1 the RRC would be easy.

I don’t know where you get all this time.
I still don’t have enough time to build my rear tub cover. (5years now working away does not help)
Have you used Ali mig wire before ?

I haven’t no but I’m going to upgrade to a parweld at some point and the one I was looking at actually doubled up as tig. I’m going to see what the welding shop can do for me when I’m out of gas. I’d like to learn tig anyway.
Yes a lot of the RRC stuff transfers over but you got the skins to mess about with on doors etcZ
Time wise I try and time cutting and welding so that it’s not in antisocial hours. Sometimes that leaves me little time to do noisy stuff. The other bits I try and get a couple hours in after the babies gone to bed and before I do! It’s a good way to get rid of the stress of the day.
I’d like to get to a point where it becomes a side business and you never know it may even become a main one!

I spent most of my twenties working away and had very little time so know that feeling!

Clutch slave cylinder (which I obviously don’t have) looking at pictures of autos I can’t see the hole. I’ll just wait until I’ve got the other one, put together what I know and go from there
