Items wanted: Walnut handbrake handle, oem mats, full chrome MK1 grille, boot rack, bullet powerfold mirrors and rain sensing wipers.

Much needed repair parts: Thermostat and housing, power steering pump and center scilencer.

Here are some pics of my beauty before any mods:

After the stereo was installed my 75 was diagnosed with HGF, the car came with 2 reciepts it appeard the head had been done twice after the garage took a look they said that it most definatley had never been done. So after a week and £580 later i was back to installing Connie parts like the chrome wing mirrors:

Marinabrian has sent me a new 93S56 chip for my IPK pre loaded with YAC003850LNF for petrol cars. I then took apart the IPk and changed over the chip. When finished I went out and did a quick test, IPK will be installed at the Wolverhampton nano meet, thanks to more advice from Marinabrian the IPK is to be installed first then connect the T4 and it will automatically install the IPK:

So after a good wash before the rain went to the inlaws and thought I would take a few new pics:

Washing the car brought a problem to light. The xenon started to fill with water, So i took the light into the house and took it apart. I cleaned and dried the unit out and sealed it back up, i probably over did it with the sealent but wanted to make sure no more water got in:

Next job was to change the pollen filter here are some pics of the old filter:

The chrome trims on the front bumper needed changing as they were badly bubbled, i chose to install the headlight washer jets while that bumper was off, All wiring, washer bottle and pipes were fitted then BBUS and washers were activated by Duncan at the Wolverhampton nano meet:
