I spy with my little eye:

1. A front windscreen and rear view mirror.
2. An exhaust.
3. A petrol tank.
4. A set of rear shocks and springs.
5. Those funny vent covers under the rear bumper.
6. A perfectly serviceable plastic bag.

It was hardly picked clean was it When you eat a nice lamb cutlet you nibble it to the bone, suck the bone dry and give the bone to the dog

All joking aside this sets the standard for how R8s need to be scrapped now. If all deceased R8s were broken down to this extent we wouldn't need to trawl Xpart only to find the dreaded "NLA" next to what we were after, and plenty more cherished cars would remain on the roads having been fixed at the right price. That's a 10 out of 10 from me, in case you were wondering

I spy with my little eye:

1. A front windscreen and rear view mirror. Cracked
2. An exhaust. Swiss cheese
3. A petrol tank. Rusted and had a hole in it.
4. A set of rear shocks and springs. Both were leaking
5. Those funny vent covers under the rear bumper. Silicone'd in and looked worse for ware.
6. A perfectly serviceable plastic bag. Had a split down the side.

Trust me, if it was useable it was used.

Fair enough. Though I put Duck tape down the side of split bags and keep on using them. That's just me though.

All the people, some of the time....

I was going to say the same thing about how Black arrived.

Tatti was the gift that gave on giving mate, its helped loads of us out, mainly you though, can't
beat a good scrapper, i'd strip one if I had the space, time and 'be arsed-ness'.

[RoverRevival]

Dot the I's and cross the t's

Power steering all hooked up and filled now, not bleed yet for obvious lack of engine running (see further down)


Timing belt fitted and covers


rest of the electrics finally plumbed in.


Decided to do the speakers now, while i was at it, they looked shitee




Door card refitted, and thats that door done


As for the drivers door i had to take the front wing off so i could get access to finally fit the door loom from the main body loom.

Dash trim seemed a fitting time to be fitted


and the seat, making it a comfortable side of the car.


Air filter, turbo actuator and release valves fitted. Clutch cable and a general tidy round.


and finally, i re-name thee OAT






Well, that's all the good news out of the way



finally found all the wires from the dash to the indicator stalks so everything was plugged in so just one thing left to do........



But



I connected the battery and tried to sync the fobs, not happening.
So i did the bypass of the immobiliser and turned to key position 3, and nothing
Checked it was connected and decided that wasn't the worst of it.

I hadn't heard the fuel pump prime either.

So if those two incidents weren't enough to put a damper on the days progress, two of the new brake screws leaked when i tried to put fluid in and it appears the pipes that i did, were not good enough

To my defense they were the first ones i had ever done but true to style 3 steps forward 7 steps back

New windscreen being fitted tomorrow

[Hammond]

Keep up the good work buddy, love the updates

[RoverRevival]

i'm glad you enjoy my torment.

Nice progress Craig, really getting there now.Shame about the brake hose screws and pump/immobilizer etc. I'm sure you will figure it out.
My original speakers were exactly like yours when going to replace them.

Thanks. Lee.
