    Thanks for the comments lads.
    So iv booked in to tynagh on the 8th get a bit more driving done, hopefully with no problems
    Haven't done anything with the brakes as yet,
    I have fitted an electric powersteering pump from an astra all plumbed and mounted, just need to wire it up properly and heat shield it.
    As the original pump is removed I have a shorter belt to go on but needed to modify the tensioner so I removed the self tensioner and will replace the spring with a solid stainless unit so that should see it all finished and running.
    It's a pretty straight forward swap most awkward thing was making a mount for it.
    While I was at the tensioner I decided I'd make up a new gear lever as the current one was a bit last minute, not that user friendly and a bit shit looking.
    That's pretty much where it's at right now.


    New gear knob, solid tensioner and wiring for pump

    Spent a few hours at this today.
    Sorted out some of the niggly bits that annoyed me and degrease the engine bay after a power steering pipe decided to let go.
    It was running a bit lean after the last day out so had a look into it, vacuum hose had cracked, replaced it and it was on the button luckily as my knowledge is limited.
    Took a pic aswell that I liked so I said I'd post it



    Need to get my bumpers on and an extra seat and harness fitted them she is good to go for tynagh.
