3. what are u going to use to demist the windscreen?, i'm opting for the heaters to blow permenantly down (heating the cabin) and a Uroglas (iirc) heated front screen...
good luck, keep up the good work and updating the WIP pics
cheers

Regarding the EPS steering system I am going to try three options starting with the easiest option first! -
1. Try running the speed sensor from the digi-dash ]
2. Try running the speed sensor from a piggyback gearbox unit from
a 1.2/1.4 nova/corsa
3. cobble together an ABS sensor on the front hub (most difficult option!)
Having sorted the position of the colum bracket I had to extend slightly the collapsable link bar between
the two U/J's but it seems to fit and work!!
Regarding the screen demisting situation I am going to smooth in a new vent from a F*rd Escort which
should give a reasonable flow!
All,
Been to the body shop again this weekend - still no work has been done - aparently they have had
staffing issues - not going to worry too much - its taken 2.5 years to get this far - another couple of
weeks is here nor there!!

I know what most of the wires do - its just remembering to patch in new wires for the following :-Quote:

Right ...... its been a bit of a wait but the bodyshop has finally got its finger out and got on
with sorting out my shell. HURRAY!!!
They have welded in a new arch on the nearside and pulled it out by about 5mm to accomodate
my 16" tyres more easily.

The offside has now been cut away showing what was hiding in the seam, a bit of rust but not as bad
as I thought it would be! The rust is going to be cut out and a new strip put in and then the arch
insert put in and again pulled out by 5mm.

I have also had the bodyshop sort out some shotblasting and powdercoating of the
suspension components which are the rear beam :

Some more updates will appear hopefully in the next week or so.

At last the bodyshop seems to have got on with the job !! This week they have sprayed the shell matt black, then
matt white and are now rubbing down the shell to find any inperfections, sort these before the final coat of primer ,
then lots of lovely colour and lacquer!!!
