My favourite wheels Stuart. They look great on the Coupe. Very like the ones I had on my silver E85 from NM Autosport.

That's why I took the Reps off mine and went back to 224s!

Ooohh! I’m cut to the quick Martin.

Some progress.

Parts arrived from Barry meaning I could put the front end back together.

Parts arrived from eBay meaning I still can’t put the aircon back together. Grrr

Still have the roof/wipers issue. Next step to diagnose that is to unplug the wiper motor. I also have no lights on the hvac panel apart from rear demister.

But I got underneath the car again and rechecked all bolts were tight. Exhaust is on and good. Attached the braces at the rear, front xenon leveller (new) attached. Popped the wheels back on as we have some light fingered visitors in the area. A couple of wheel arch liners on too.

Tomorrow is my birthday and I got the best present ever- IT STARTED AND RAN!!!!!!

So pleased. The exhaust sounded good and no engine lights (still have a load of others on the dash to sort.)

So next I’m going to get the brakes back on, the system bled and clutch bled so I can move it

A few pics

Cheers

Stuart

Impressive work there Stuart.
I'm seeing a little irony that this car ONLY has the heated rear screen working.

Can't remember if you've done it before, but I did a little write-up on bleeding the DSC, which may help.

As with every project you have episodes of ‘help me understand why you did that previous owner…’

Well, given the chap had already chopped out the ABS/DSC module as the kit he was going to build wasn't having ABS, then my guess would be the sensor was stuck so he chopped the loom instead.

He obviously hadn't been told that the sensor that side fed the speedo too.

This is a great project. My own project had been left sat in a driveway for three years and is slowly coming together now.
Keep up the good work.

And happy birthday Stuart
