hey stuey, got a question for ya, i see you closed up those holes in front of the windshield that suck in air for the interrior, so how does the interrior heater get air now. throw in some pics of the front boot if u have.. cheers..

G :cool:


tbh the vent previously went from the heater straight up to the vent so i removed it and small tube up to it and it now sucks in from inside the boot (wich i assume isnt airtight) not the best but I having to make some comprimises, I have seen a 126 with a small vent in the  wing to get around this which i may do later if i feel i need (i have a pics somewhere if i find it i'll dig it out) -but i have other plans which may negate the need for it yet....

I might have to have a go with my girlfriends dads compressor.  I have the the white aircooled that phil gave me which needs patching up but i would quite like to paint it a nice duck egg blue or something if the patching looks ok.

they are large but i can actually get full lock on them, they are toeing out quite alot at the mo too as I havent adjusted the traking yet since the lowering which makes it look alot worse than it is on the front end piccy...
