Hi mate,

 

I was going to give you a shout a few weeks back but forgot !

 

What have you all tried to fix on the MI.

 

I've done a hell of alot to mine so know my way about them. PM if you like to save making a mess of your thread, If I can help I'll give it a go.

 

Who's doing your paint work etc

Please do it properly and remove the glass door handles etc, takes hardly any more time and gives a much nicer finish, saddens me when I look around a car and see the line of paint around stuff

dont worry all glass and handles and stuff are coming off. i was just inpatient today. graig oo7, tried alot of stuff, fuel is getting to the rail but thats as far as its going, think the injectors are knackered, i just gave up on the engine sie of things for the moment. no got a painter to doit yet, was going to send it to sos motorsport in falkirk after xmas and all that to get done, do you know someone local. ?

theres meant to be a good painter in lochgelly industrial estate next to chiz fab i believe, if your looking for a decent rear beam thats lowered already iv got one lying and loads of other bits so give us a shout if you need anything.
