its comin along mate, hope all goes well

[Mike]

I do, engine goes in tommorrow, into the Spin thingy!

I could do with re-sizing these fooking pic's though??

[TommySR]

yeah i was thinkin that, my PC is having a heart attack loading them all up lol

[Adam]

Nice work.
I loaded all the pics and nearly killed my new modem lol

[chimp007_uk]

reminds me of my mint 1litre i had a couple of years ago... that was glacier white, i was the second owner from new 39000 miles and some knob wrote it off by ploughing into the back of me as i was turning into the drive :( absolute shame!

nice car tho :mad:

[Mike.]

that white shell you've got looks exactly like my new shell lol, whats wrong with the red shell ?

is it all structural rot or something because the arches, front panel and slam panel look good

[Nath]

looks good mate.have you still got that light air intake thing? as ill buy that if so??

[Mike]

whats wrong with the red shell ?

is it all structural rot or something because the arches, front panel and slam panel look good

Rear arches were replaced in Sept 04, the slam panel was done in Dec 05 but the rear chassis legs are shot, as is the rear axle mounts and the battery tray. And for the sake of ?50 for a mint shell, i though why not!


headlight air intake?

Yeah ive still got it, its waiting to be sent to the fibre glass emporium to be replicated at the minute as ill be selling a few via eBay and probably on here.

The engine, front legs, hubs, bailey tank, washer jets and exhaust system went on today, only took about 6 hours between the 2 of us so not that bad really.

Ive got some more pics of todays efforts but cant be @rsed to upload them lol

Mike

[Nath]

ill buy one of those intakes off you them please mate. well have to meet up soon mate as your litterly 10 mins from me lol

[Mike]

yeah sound jbobo ill let you know mate

[Mike]

Today progress was hampered due to sh1te weather! I jacked it in at 8pm due to torrential rain!

Today I... got the newly painted front ARB bolted up, tightend hub bolts and finally put front wheels on then put the split pins in whilst it started pishing down!

And realised ive lost a god damn centre cap. Bugger.

I was wanting to put the manifold on, rad and sort out the coil pack but that never happend!

[draper]

i definatly want 1 aswell buddy

getting some good progress done there mate, ive just started stripping mine, didnt get much done sunday due to an all mighty hangover !!

[Mike]

i definatly want 1 aswell buddy

sweet that is, erm, due to the re-shell its kinda taken a back seat. But again ill have to let you know im afraid.

Yeah, weather conditions have hampered todays progress so im well pished off to be honest.

[SRlew]

lol yer iv been having trouble trying to do work on mine cause of the weather, but its nice today, we all need to get out there!

yer coming on nicely buddy!

dont suppose your doing these intakes in a mk1 aswell are you?

[Mike]

dont suppose your doing these intakes in a mk1 aswell are you?

Erm, yeah i can if you/me cant get a Mk1 headlight. I dont mean to take the pish but seriously they take ages to make as at the minute there hand made. And with the re-shell there taking a back seat too!

And i have to make original first to get it copied, and ive only got a Mk2 original at the minute.
