Nice purchase Ian.
Good to see you sorted that bit of rust too
Better sorting it now than letting it get worse.

Yes Lee, there are some holes where someone has had cowels over them, I was looking around for some but not having much luck, also can you get them that big?Quote:

Another question I keep meaning to ask, The clutch cable router thing, do I need to bend it? If so which way and how much etc...
Cheers
Ian
Mine were made by plastics4performance. I just have two large holes covered by seperate cowels so i doubt the off the shelf items will fit. They (or a similar company) shoudl be able to make you some, but not too cheaply I would imagine.
The clutch 'nipple' needs to be bent down and to the right as you look at it from the front pal. About 4 o clock ish.
Update time.
First off I want to say a MASSIVE thanks to Olly (Trackdaynova) for coming over and giving me a hand today, really good to have someone else to help out, muchos appreciated and a good laugh :D :D
We got the passenger side seat rails made up and welded in, Using plate on the sills and tunnel and some 1 inch box section across. We got the seat sat in on the side mounts, but I didn't want to start drilling and bolting it in yet as I want to make sure I have the clearence when the door bar goes in and the door is on, and at the same time didn't want it to be to close to the drivers seat. But drilling four holes is the easy bit anyway so that can wait.
Also started welding in the plate over for the internal shifter, however the welder ran out of wire... Bugger! :(
Next up we fitted a rear coilover and a 15 inch rim with a 888 on to see if I was going to have any cleance issues, and so far I'm well happy as it was clear of the outer arch lip by at least 15mm maybe more, however it was touching the spring, but this didn't worry me to much as theres plenty of room to get a spacer in to bring it out. Happy with that! :D
Good days work, with everything achieved I wanted too. No pics as yet as I didn't take any on my camera, but Olly has a few so i'm sure he will put some up.
Big thanks again mate really appreciated :thumb:
No probs mate - thoroughly enjoyed it, love cars in the WIP stage, and with it being the first time I've seen yours, I'm impressed :)
Had a cracking day - very funny throughout, and now my muscles are aching from playing Wii for the first time last night lol
Anyway, pics
Before we started, just took a few general pics

Looking good there :D
i really need to learn how to weld like that, would save me a fair wedge of money, what welder are you using?
i have a sip Weldmate T90P Gas MIG Welder
it seems ok, but i get what a panel beater friend described as pigeon s**t welding
instead of the smooth solid looking stuff your getting
Some decent progress there! Fabricating seat mounts is always time consuming, all part of the fun though!
Did you put the 1/4 panel(s?) on yourself? I'm contemplating the same on my K reg shell but not sre yet
Nice work lads :)
