Lol.
Had a mince at Riggys today, with Lee H, Rexy and Chris?
Pepe is looking very tidy indeed, rexy's done a good job on the paintwork :cool:
We had fun trying to fit a full cage into Lee H's daily runner, proper tight fit(as expected seeing as it tightens the shell) Rexy managed to get the last bar in armed with a hammer lol
And then Lee decided check his oil level because hes been having a few oil burning issues. "It doesn't seem to be smoking now", Lee checks the oil "Hmm, the dipsticks dry", "I wonder what it'll smoke like with oil in" lol
"Its parked on a hill", "No thats just me telling myself that" lol
Collected the seats/harnesses, and baxters suspension off Riggy.
Will get pics tomorrow.
Couldn't resist a quick 5th gear blast on my way down the m6(as it was empty) on the way home. Pretty impressive speed for a 1600 ;)
Cooch-Ive not started on the manifold yet, might crack on with it tomorrow. :thumb:
good work Mr Adam, pics please.
Wasn't able get much done today as i was working for a few hours.
Did manage to start cleaning the seats and harnesses though, and took a few pics. There in decent condition apart from one tear in the drivers boulster, fine for what i want them for tho. There also noticeably lighter than a sr seat, so a bit of weight saving going on too, which is always good :cool:

Did a quick test fit of one(cant fit them fully yet as i need a spreader plate/bolt for the transmission tunnel harness mounting)

Also dug out my gsi skirts, and started prepping them to be painted. There going bumper colour :)
Finally decided to fit skirts, good good. Buckets look cool too
**** , iv got a plate for that ad , ill dig it out and post it you lol
Aye, hopefully just a screw/bolt in the "fin" part where it joins the arch lip, and tigerseal on the long part will keep them on.Quote:

Managed to do an even better one today.
Set off up to garage this morning, thought temperature is getting high a bit quick. Turns out the water in the coolant system had frozen so wouldn't circulate. Had all the radiator and stuff out to unfreeze it all. No damage done luckily.
Teach me for not using antifreeze.
FPMSL lol lol
Its going be freezing tonight too, so i hope it has anti freeze in now lol
It has, made sure this time, had a **** day sorting it all out and dying with man flu to top it all off.
Lol
Right.
Finished at 12 today so cracked on with fitting the seats and harnesses.
Ripped the sr seats and belts out, removed the carpet, and got drilling:

More tomorrow when i crack on with fitting the boot pop solenoid.
nice work mate.. i got into mymates car the otehr day with buckets and i found it hard to get out lol
You get used to kind of swinging yourself in via the A pillar. lol You'll also get sick of adjusting the passenger harness for each passenger you have. Looks good though, nice job on the holes; I had to stagger mine as my spreader plates were bigger than yours.
Yeah Iain you used the proper FIA plates which are larger.
Ive just used the road legal basic ones. ?2.50 for 2 from EDS motorsport for anyone that wants some.
you got nuts aswell lol
Have i what? :confused:
LOL
EDIT-Ahh, the plates have a thread in.
So a nuts not really needed....
nice ad mate , look good
Cheers Carl
