Did a little bit tonight that's been bugging me , the bulbs behind the heater controls were always a bit dim and the clock was aswell so ...
Stripped it down



Replaced the bulbs and built it back up , proper fiddly bastard to do. I've gone for standard bulbs aswell no led bulbs



Seeing as I was doing the bulbs my new clocks had a dim spot so I replaced that bulb aswell
Speedo Isnt connected so thats why its reading minus



Mock up of my gauges aswell





That's all for now

The blue bulbs I put in behind the heater controls have already stopped working

In no rush to replace them though !



Gauges and wheel tie in nice with the yellow bits

I've got new bulbs to do the heater controls, remember it being a shitty job and you just reinforced this thought

Been getting my head down with this really want to have it out next month (if it gets sunny ha ha) so I sent it off to have the intercooler hidden as I don't want it poking out.

As an example the intercooler would have looked like this



I do really love that Gsi let that "thegsi" had but I wanted a stealth look.

So I had the front end modified









The oil cooler has been relocated aswell. So it looks like this from the front end now.

No giveaways



I will be fitting a headlamp

It's a lot closer to completion now.
Just need to wire in my gauges (have had to buy some adapters)
It runs but the rear crank oil seal is leaking :/ so the box has to come out :cry:
But that will be getting done next week

Bay shots





Intercooler hidden



Just need a new air filter now, any suggestions ?
