I started off with the dremel and some metal polish, but wasn't happy with the finish so i used a single coat of alloy look paint with a single coat of clear over the top

jds - the complete set up including all of the front bushes, steering knuckle and fitting cost $1823

Thanks for the info Steve. Your link doesn't work but. And which Pedders outlet did the work? I gather they're height adjustable only??

I went through the Wollongong pedders store, but all pedders stores can supply these coil overs, mine are only height adjustable but you can get the adjustable insert fitted aswell for an extra $100 or so per strut, they send them off to the Melbourne factory where they make them to suit your requirements. It only took them 5 days from the time they left wollongong to the time they returned and were fitted in the car!

Ok i fitted my new cam on Friday and the webers yesterday but ran into a few problems.
1 throttle cable is stretched almost to it's limit
2 distributor cap is just touching the front weber leaving me no adjustment for timing
Other than that they are all on, she idles (a bit rough but i can expect that from the cam) and she runs ok. Once i sort the dizzy problem out i think she's going to hammer!

Anyone else had this problem?

We have had that problem on our rally car where the dizzy is being interfered with by the Webers, so we just moved the vacuum advance side of the dizzy around to the front and reset the timing with the dizzy there.

Your new carbies look great!

I did this yesterday and seem to have the timing set nicely now, she goes alot better with no pinging, just the idle is a bit grumpy and she's a little bit tempermental under 2500rpm, but that's just the cam and i can live with that!
Also fitted and rewired yesterday was my (Tacho) sports dash that i bought on e-bay, so the dash is looking a whole lot nicer now too!

Next step in my Mk2's life will be getting resprayed in orange with the mexico stripes, I love the look of the orange mexico's.

Yeah she sounds great now, and is a pretty wild ride in the wet.

I'm still having a few little issues but working my way through them! Have sprung a leak in one of my soft mounts, i think on No.4 but that seems to be the only prob now, and doesn't hold her back much at all!
I'll fix this problem next weekend probably

Just fixed the leak, what i thought was a soft mount leaking was actually a rocker stuffed so i replaced the inlet rocker for No.4 and all is well now YAAAYY!!!

What i'm after now is a vernier cam wheel so that i can dial in the cam to suit the rest of the set up, and i would like to get a luminition ignition set up so that i can throw the points in the bin, he he , then it will be off to the dyno for a proper tune!

And i've also started retrimming my door cards, i'll get some pics when i get some more progress done on them, but the interior will look similar to my show car (pic below) but with orange instead of yellow, to match the paint work once i get the scort resprayed:
