haha , yeh Scott, its the good bit ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,WHEN YOU CAN REMEMBER WHERE YOU PUT THE F****IN' THINGS :roll: :oops: LOL

Ive been at this car for almost 3 years now, and i DEFINATELY DO have 95% of everything I need, all in nice wee clear plastic bags and boxes . I just cant remember where i put a lot of them since the house move :oops: :oops: :oops: :roll:

The only parts i definately know I still need are;

New red carpet (Coverdales),,, yeh I know , but where else can I get a new red carpet????
Ashley 4 branch manifold and stainless exhaust system (ordered) much fruity soundingness 8) :wink:
New door mirrors (old ones I had are a bit yukky now)
sort out a remote servo
Apart from that Im good :roll: :roll: :roll:

Car is almost water tight again, all the glass is back in, engine is on the stand being rebuilt and repainted, .

I hope to have it finished and running within the next 4-6 weeks and off for its MOT.yeeeeeeeesssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let us know how you get on with the carpet!! was thinking about getting one for mine, depending on the fit. :?

Oh, and have a wee look round the scrappies, if I remember right, theres some types of Protons or Deawoos that have remote servos in them. Could be worth a look!!

I fitted a remote servo to a Mk1 Escort once, got it off a BMW 2002, easy to fit as well.
