just finish off some comestic bits that were dubious for SVA

Top bonnet vents purely because they look nice and get my snazzy water jet cut badges painted and fitted to the front and rear.

Oh and hopefully get some nice dry sunny cold days so I can learn how to drive it so far it's only been to SVA and back driven quite catiously as it scared me stupid

* moving the coolant expansion tank to the front of the engine (less clutter)
* fitting rad ducting
* fix noisy rear polybushes
* fit charade alternator (now a 2cv one and it's struggling)
* fit interior carpets
* connect the flashy aero-style filler to the fuel tank so that it actually works...
* new rear cover
* H4 headlight conversion since i'm now running the old filament type bulbs
* tidy up wiring loom
* tune megasquirt (i'm lucky enough to have not one but two rolling roads at my disposal!)
* shorten battered pinto sump

And if time and money permits:
* fit wipers
* fit heater
* fit hood
(yes, me too....)
* fit proper 4-into-1 exhaust
* modify cylinder head

That's about it, i guess... I'd better get cracking!

That's me almost done then! Let's hope the good weather continues until after i've refitted the now shorter sump!
