I've got them in the 3200 and they are stunning.

That doesn't look nice, good to have a nice new one in there

Good work, one job I hope I don't have to do.

At least a cheap fix so long as you have the time.

Look forward to seeing the guide!

One thing I will say about these cars, is that they do come apart pretty well and getting them back together isn't bad either, provided that you have patience, the correct tool and the know how.

Indeed. Complex yes, but very well built with decent fixings on the whole was my experience. I'm not really messing with the GT much, though

Good work mate.

Great work Mav. I bet it has been a mixed job this one like a few on my hybrid. Great challenge, lots of frustration, blood, sweat, tears and expletives! Ultimately very satisfying in the end though.

I would have tackled the dash out to replace the hybrid's blower unit but I just didn't have a whole weekend to do it. Paid a guy to do it in the end and although a chunk of cash it was not bad value really. Took him 2 days & he charged me 600 quid.

I think I would attempt most jobs if I had the time. Also when the workshop is finished.

Keep up the good work

Well done Mav and all done on the driveway better natural light for working.
I did my XJC head gasket outside in front of my nice double Garage that I can't get inside off.
