ok more seriously

* get the aerial and the cooling system sorted
* another new tyre on the silver wheel
* see if the oil consumption improves, if not, figure out whats causing it to be thirsty
* finish tidying/touching up bodywork bits to a half respectable level & t-cut
* new passenger door (the drivers is passable) & get the door cards flush again
* tidy up stereo wiring and try to re-do foglamp wires
* vac out the insides and tidy the boot
* try out metz's old induction kit
* sale

er, thats about it

gt exhaust manifold is the same as any other non g40 mk3 exhaust manifold matt.

youll need an electric fuel pump if you put a gt cam in.

and karl, foglights! forgot about those, still need to fit the oe ones to my current gt. theyve been sat in the caravan for ages after taking em of my other gt. :shock:
