Hi Jerry,
I got front and rear strut braces OMP ones.
I also got new Gti fuel pump, Samco silicon hoses, TD04 turbo and engine will be here soon.
Once I get those on a palet, I will send it down to you.
Do you want me to make a turbo manifold or do you want me to send it down as a kit?
Cheers
Atchi

Hi,
Jerry has all the parts I bought.
I'm not in hurry so they are taking time off for a bit I guess!
They need to make money but not from me!
Cheers

OK...
There is a progress now.
Andy aka Garndi got my car from Jimbo to finish as Jimbo is too busy to finish my car.
I will be going over to see it tomorrow afternoon so hopefully watch this space!
Cheers
Atchi

Hi,
I don't want to bad mouth Jimbo but I think not working on the car for over 2 years and sea air where my car lived for last 2 years outside didn't help.
Andy is sending me a lot of photos as he progress(!?) my car and in many cases I wanted to cry.....
It is very much 2 steps forwards and 5 steps back but I hope my car's phase 1 build will be over in next 4 to 5 weeks.
Once again thank you very much to Andy, my hard earned cash is not wasted.
Cheers
Atchi

Sea air + outside living is not the best recipe. Glad to hear there is some progress now, it is in good hands.

Hi, Since Howsie asked! So Andy has been working hard on it. When he got it, looked OK but bit weathered in sea air. Result is this. Attachment: File comment: roll cage made it worth

Hi, I finally managed to visit my roll cage guy. He contacted me to come over for seat fitting but I was away in japan so I have delay by 2 weeks. When I got there, this is what he has done to my car! Attachment: File comment: front view
