Cheers John :)
Definitely needs to go a touch higher on the front imo lol
The xe and Avo's will sort that ;)
Mk1 + Moss Green = :cool: lol
If it looks half as good as yours, i'll be happy :)
It'll go a dam sight better than mine once you're done I'll tell you that! Did I hear you're going LET power? Sorry haven't read back if it's been mentioned.
LET power is on future plans, when i have a bit more cash.
Im just chucking the XE in for now though, seeing as its sitting here doing nothing.
Also got these throttle bodies lying about.... ;)
In the process of moving out into a flat atm though, so a bit short of both time and cash.
Fairplay, an XE on TB's is still gonna be awesome. Looking forward to the progress.
No worries Ad! Gone to the best home it could've Imo! Will sort you that dash at the weekend. ;) Lol, need to update my avatar too!
Think i'll have an early start tomorrow and crack on :)
The other shell is being picked up tomorrow too.
Sweeeeet!
"let" it begin indeed!!
Keep err lit (as they say lol)
Kool :)

LET the fun begin lol.
oh dear im off to bed.
LET me keep an eye out for a cheap let in a few months ;) lol
Staying xe for now! lol :p
LET me know if you need a hand lol.

Just made a list of things to do, and going by my work rate its not looking good for Combe lol lol
*note, the sunroof. When people try and fit full cages into a sunroof shell, why do they not fit? Do they touch the winder or something? This sunroof must be an aftermarket conversion, as its not a gm sunroof, has no winder... Its just a tilt up effort.... So hopefully it'll be fine.
Also, are the rear arches tighter on a mk1 shell? The 15s and proxes rub like fook, even just rolling the shell!! They cleared on the mk2. Shall have to get the grinder out on the arch lips sometime.
Main hoop doesn't usually fit as the cassette for the sliding part of the sunroof goes right to the back of the car. If it's just a pop up it should be fine.
Sound!
Yeah, its just a pop up type, has no sliding mechanism
IIRRC some of the early mk1's had that type of sun roof?Quote:

Ad i like the two tone Cesaro's lol
And good to see there is some of my Mids stickers being used (not put mine on yet) :p
You'll get it done for combe if Jon, and Christian help you + any other members.
Scott
A german one? :thumb:
The aftermarket one's were also installed by the dealers when a customer would buy a new car that was already made.
Have fun with it!
Tempted keep them like that for track! lolQuote:

Ive got a mids sticker somewhere though, so could fit that in rear side window or somewhere.
TBH there isnt a load of work to do to get it driveable. Basically just bolting stuff on. The exterior can stay how it is....
Main things to do:
Weld bay/Repaint bay after weldage(altho the bays solid and john drove it xe'd with no welding...), but still probably worth doing whilst the bays empty.
Swap front brakes/brake servo over to mine
Get the Avo's on
Fit buckets in
Get engine/box in, and swap the fuel tank over to mine.
Thats pretty much it to get it driveable, dont NEED the cage in right away.
Oh, and then an mot, which should be fine tbh. Emissions etc aint going be a problem on a b-plater.... It also doesnt need side repeaters, rear seatbelts etc lol
Yeah ive always found the early mk1s cant handle 195s lol I took the grinder on mine and they cleared fine only to discover that they were tthen hitting on the shock plastic cover. I now run 185s and don't have any problems lol
Im going have clearence issues on the inner and outer...
The outer being the tight arches, and the inner being the Avo coilover... lol
That looks like a very clean shell you have there... Good luck with the reshell adam.
