Nope still not fixed the damn thing..
Hopefully i have the muscle to push her in there..
I managed to get the car to her current resting place on my own so i should be able to do it..
Without having a heart attack, i hope..

Looks like you're close to farming country .... I'd be borrowing a tractor if at all possible .... save your back - you need it !!

Looks like you got more wiring looms in your doors than I have in the whole of my D1
It is by far the cleanest P38 I've ever seen

Wiring is a pain, but never say never

Fook me..

How did it do that?

The uncle of the girl I bought it from thought it was a good idea to tack weld a new bit of metal for the inner wheel arch repair to the bulkhead and set fire to the sound deadening insulation under the dash and burnt out the wiring loom, took me ages of cutting and chasing wires to figure out what had been damaged and needed to be replaced, 3 relays and lots of earths along with the whole section and connection for the rear left hand loom, it was in a really bad way
But I was undaunted by the challenge and a couple of weeks with a soldering iron and a few sections of scrap loom out of a 300Tdi Disco I had it all fixed and up an running

I dressed the alloy with a brass wire wheel and painstakingly masked off all the bits i didn't want silver and painted it with simoniz High temp silver paint!
Worked quite well, it has to get hot to set
so run the engine! Great stuff and improves the look no end

My doozle inlet manifold I did last week I took down to clean metal and sealed it with high temperature lacquer. Poked a heat gun inside as it was off vehicle while spraying. makes huge difference with added heat.

Day off work..
A paint brush and some waxoyl black is a good way to waste a day
Befores.
And after a pressure wash to remove the cow shyte and a good going over with a brush..
Next is the floor pans and sills..
All of which are rot free
Just a layer of protection..
This is the stuff i used..
not the canned crap!!
This spreads well and looks good..
I need to touch up obvs but it makes the underside look better and also protects the non rusty metal
