Fingers crossed. I’m a little tentative with doing the timing belt. I have one of two options:

1) Do the timing belt myself and run the risk of messing up OR
2) Do at least the pump timing, see if I can get the car on the road and then have my dad help me do the timing belt.

It was a little busy yesterday with the car. I need to try and do an outer CV boot on the passenger side. As I made a booboo and ripped it.

But I got the other three shocks done and done some more cleaning up on the vehicle as she needs it. The car will sit about 30-40mm lower than standard. Couldn’t do pre-measurements as she was sitting quite low already with the old shocks.

But I’m getting there. Slowly but surely.

It will be cool to see it on the road, you're doing way better than I could.

I have some automotive experience so it helps. The only thing that doesn’t help is I don’t have all the tools I need so I practically get no work done on the car during the week as I borrow tools from my dad’s workshop.

Ah, very good. You have some knowledge, and occasionally the right tools too.

I’m hoping to fix the CV boot and do the brakes tomorrow and have her on the ground by about midday or early afternoon.

But I’m very yes or no on doing the timing belt myself. Spoke to my dad and he recommended that I don’t try my first timing belt change on a Mk1.

But I have found an amazing video on youtube where they show in detail what to do and I have watched it over 20 times now.

Sounds like you reckon you can give it the old college try. Way out of my league for sure. Good luck either way.
