I could probably do the work if we had a proper ground. Pretty hard working on a dirt/stone driveway, though it's fun to do skids on . Hopefully not too long and I can finish the carport off, and make it into a proper garage, then I can do it all myself.

OMGWTFBBQ, etc. I can't believe I missed all this.... I hate these stories. I have had my fair share of trauma over car work too. Even with the few things I do bother trying to outsource.  Others have mentioned it, and I will add my voice to theirs, The place is a clown factory mate. Don't even take it back there unless you need to. Its not too much to ask that a workshop get on with the work you paid them to do, without damaging things.... That pipe is rediculous, and the excuse is even more pathetic. The whole prospect of mystery panel damage is just scary. All I can say is I so very badly regret giving the last place I trusted with my car "1 last chance" Cut your losses, it can get much worse.[:(!][:(!][:(!]

scortfreak: i agree the side exhaust will look great.[88]
It'll be hard to sell but i have a couple of others in mind to relace her. She's been in the family for over 5 yrs and for me thats a record. Ty would die if it had a nissan engine in it, he would probably kill both of us.[xx(]. I'm looking forward to seing yours finished, keep pushing him.
escortgl77: I have pis on the 4th or 5th page of showroom under stans mk1, also some in the for sale section.

Everything seems to be working except the subs. More fiddling around. [B)]

The neon in the sub box was on at first, but it's not now. I'll go over all the wiring now. Don't think a red light ever came on on the amp. And that's fine. I prefer Toyota engines over Nissan anyway. [}:)]

Ty, do you have any more pictures of it with the 17's and the Cosworth you could e-mail me? I have the ones of it sitting in your driveway at night, and the ones you uploaded on this site. Any others? And any ones where you had the Cosworth the same colour as the car would be awesome.

Found someone who's interested in the yellow MK1 for a good price. Not sure I'll be able to part with it though, especially if it goes over seas. [8~2] I don't know what's wrong with me. On one hand I want to sell it and have money to finish the others, but on the other hand I can't imagine not having it. [xx(][B)] Hopefully the money I have now is enough to get the green car on the road, then I can worry about it all. [:p]
