Good day on the car today Matty, pics and update needed though...

[Wreelybro]

As Cliffie says we have a good day on the VX. (Cheers for the help and the spare parts bin!) Lots done but most of it you can't see.

Here’s list of jobs done:

• Oil Change and New Filter – Done.
• New fuel cut off switch - Installed
• Wiring in engine bay - Tidied up.
• Extra holes drilled in the underside of rear clam under the exhaust and reflective alloy tape stuck to inside of clam under exhaust to help with heat.
• Inside of clam sprayed black (the bit that's seen through the cut-outs.)
• Clam bolted back down- For the last time hopefully!
• OEM Rear wheel arch extenders - fitted
• Roll Bar cover bolted down and Ariel fitted (Cheers Mike!)
• Engine cover and Cover Release fitted. (Need to adjust a little as is very close at the back by the boot.) Need to get some S/Steel bolts to replace the rusty ones with the rubber caps on that you adjust to get the boot and bonnet level
• Soft Top locaters and hood fitted - Just needs to align and tighten up hood also adjust the doors a bit now.
• Painted and fitted the diffuser (Pics Below)
• Fuel cap fitted
• Wheel arch Liners – Fitted
• Fitted original switches back into dash (The ones on the Right of S/Wheel) I have a few wires that have been cut and not sure where they go to will have to sort that. Also Green light is staying on, on the Main Headlight Switch that need fixing. May need help with that!!!!

Next jobs to do are:

• Replace rubber brake lines with Hel S/Steel Braided ones.
• Bleed Brake and Clutch System
• Sort out Electrics
• Align doors Hood and windows

Then Move onto the front and interior!!

• Lots more there to do I’ll save that list for another day!

OK so here's the pics enjoy!

[Mike (Cliffie)]
