so far i have done the stereo system, i got a headunit from a mate and put that in and then discovered the car had some alright speakers in there all ready. goes loud and stays clear so im happy.

have been doing a little shopping and now have a series 5 turbo and manifold to go in, just need to get it sand blasted and then heat proof coatinged. only thing stopping me at the moment is some gaskets which im ordering soon.

have also painted the mufflers at the rear of the car black, which i think tidys it up a bit, left the tips as they are though

have replaced every vacuum line with silicone tubing and cable tied them on tight the spider thing and the turbo area, pressure sensor etc

 recently replaced the clutch master and slave cylinder with brand new parts, got a braided stainless clutch line and bled brake and clutch and repositioned the clutch pedal

Just finished the turbo conversion last weekend, got all turbo gaskets and a new water thermo, its running 6 psi and feels just as fast as my old series 4 turbo on 11 psi, plus it sounds cooler
