I think it's already been noted that you are disturbed, Muppet. :pQuote:

I need to dedicate some time to getting it finished off. :(
So, finally an update......after I've promised one several times over the last 12 weeks or so.
This was it several weeks ago. The front end stripped right down, and I had decided to do the timing belt whilst access was easy. :angel:
My intention was to replace the timing belt, even though it had been replaced on time 60k ago, the most important aspect was checking the oil pump housing - was it the dodgy one that snaps? Or was it replaced with the belt? Bugger. Old, fragile style it is. Wait for another couple of weeks whilst a new one comes from the other side of the world then. :(

At the same time, the water pump had to be replaced

At that point, the parts that were left to do:
Finish replacement of inner guard
Start rebuilding.....
Still waiting for new air con condenser to become available. I've tried to buy a new one three times now, with no luck - "sorry, out of stock mate, none in the country". The old one is slightly damaged, still useable, but ugly. As soon as I can find a new one, my tame fridgy next door can come and evacuate the old one. :)
More photos to come.
:eek: I'll stick with my Td5 :D
Nice tyres :cool:
I'm expecting more pics Mr Sheerluck :D
I'm sure that anyone who owns a D3/4 will look at that photo and think "holy cow, there's a lot missing". At that point, there was some very large boxes full of bits in the shed. :DQuote:

good timing Dave, was just about to poke you with a big stick to see if you had made any further progress. Don't need to now:D
Hope you know how it goes back together mate.:o
There is much, much more done. I'm just a bit slack at getting the thread updated.Quote:

I spent a long time faffing about with the interior wiring too. I was originally trying to splice in the loom for the OE sat nav and screen. I gave up on that and ended up just adapting the dash and H-trim, and some wiring to hold an aftermarket GPS unit and camera.
That was about a month lost :angel:
Just as well you didn't, Dave only knows how to deal with being attacked by a man with a piece of fruit :DQuote:
