To remove my diff bushes I cut out the centre rubber part of the bush then used a cold chisel and a big hammer on the outer metal bush and hit it in towards the centre. They both came out really easily using this method.

I had the same problem with my clutch. I ended up using a method I've used for motorbike front brake bleeding. Try holding the clutch pedal all the way down for 24 hours, this allows any air to bleed out the top of the clutch line.

Hi John,
I used the original radiator top and bottom mounts. The top mounts I bolted through the chassis side rails once bolted in place the rad is nice and solid. I'll try to get a piccy later.

I had the same problem with my petrol tank mk2.5. I ended out bending the front lip down where it was touching the chassis rails and using exhaust mounts I had spare from a Cobra build as spacers.

I just used a jigsaw, cut it really well, just took a quick run over with a file to finish it off.

I did cut my plate out but I don't think you need it for anything, the last car I IVA'd they didn't want to see it.

I didn't give the scrappy anything apart from the body. You're not scrapping it, just getting rid of the body.

Hi Paul, I got the fitting instructions, all seems fairly easy. I've just got to work out if removing the connections to the ecu is going to mess anything up.

Not yet, I did ask them to send me a copy of the fitting instructions so I could see what inputs I needed, but that was 3 weeks ago and I'm still waiting.

Best tip is to make sure you follow each wire all the way to where your going to cut it. I took all the harness tape off and still managed to cut a couple of wires in after a join so had to re-solder the joint. But apart from that, it was actually less daunting than I thought it would be. I made sure the engine was running before I started cutting then started the engine after every I'd cut a couple of wires just to make sure I hadn't cut anything important.

Hi all, Just a quick update, in the last few months I've managed to get a drivable chassis. I've spent the last 2 weeks stripping the wiring loom out: I've removed the ABS, aircon, airbags, stereo, wash/wipe, rear demist, heated seats, alarm, electric Windows/mirrors, central locking and that's about it. Anyway here is a photo of the wire I've removed.

I got a local scrappy to collect it. He didn't pay anything for it but didn't charge me either.
