Aint doing another job like this Ed, it sort of spirals out of control, especially time wise. Saying that, as an office bound person during the day, its quite thereapitic to modge about under cars of an evening and weekend. The wifes 206 1.6 Hdi is in for MOT this saturday and she's already mentioned that it might look better a bit lower... that might be the next project.________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ (now gone...)2004 Aegean Blue 206 GTi 180 (also gone...) 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS in Sprint Yellow honestly3k wrote: Do you wrestle for a living matt?

Some pics from last nights activity.Subframe all fitted..  Engine on the way in..  Engine fitted!! ThumbsUp    Tonights willing conscripts.. Mark (with the partially severed finger. LOL) and My lad who was on engine crane duties.  Tonights acivities have been to fill the gearbox with proper Pug gearbox oil, fill the engine with oil, put some PAS fluid in the PAS header tank, fitted the driveshaft hub nuts, fitted the TRE's into the hubs, and got the final bit of wiring loom connected. One thing im stumped with is the neg terminal off the battery and where it earths.... propper stumped. Next job is to finalise that wiring to the battery, and get the slam panel, radiator and fans refitted. Soon be time to fire the old shed up..... Eeek. ________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ (now gone...)2004 Aegean Blue 206 GTi 180 (also gone...) 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS in Sprint Yellow honestly3k wrote: Do you wrestle for a living matt?

Got home from work an hour early so cracked on with more Pug work.Fitted the 11mm lock nut on the one driveshaft intermediate support bearing as Id lost one and had to get a new replacement. Replaced the main engine mount that i broke the other night - the top thread sheared off it, pattern part rubbish, so i fitted the new Genuine pug mount. Replaced the master cylinder cap with new Pug one. Then i worked out the routing of the final earth lead, fitted the battery tray and battery box / ecu and chucked the battery in. Even though its been off the car 6 months, there was still enough power in the battery to work the central locking and the dash lights. Popped it on charge for now. Fitted the slam panel, and radiator and fans, along with the black masks. Starting to look like a car now its got its "eyes" back in. All electrics work ok, just waiting for the radiator spring brackets to come out of the de-rusting bucket then i can fix the rad properly, and get some coolant in it.   ________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ (now gone...)2004 Aegean Blue 206 GTi 180 (also gone...) 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS in Sprint Yellow honestly3k wrote: Do you wrestle for a living matt?

Bit more done tonight. Like a hymen i forgot to fit the radiator and fan pack spring retaining clips before fitting the slam panel, so i had a very fiddly half hour getting the buggers in tonight, before finally securing the rad and fans firmly.Then fitted the rad hoses and put some water/antifreeze mix in. I refitted the front grille and hockey sticks and the OE sticker on the slam panel    Fitted the air box snorkel to the front panel as well. Looking almost complete now..   Made a start washing and cleaning all the arch plastics - got all new Pug clips to secure them back on with, however im gonna get it running first before refitting them in. The end is in sight...  ________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ (now gone...)2004 Aegean Blue 206 GTi 180 (also gone...) 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS in Sprint Yellow honestly3k wrote: Do you wrestle for a living matt?
