Heres a picture of the Fuel Lines / Brake Pipes all routed inside the car, they are flopping about at moment as drilled rivets out so can paint.

Now im at a bit of a stand still while i wait for sun roof metal to be cut so can weld it and metal to turn up to feel every sinlge hole on this car, and wait for my seat mounts to turn up to weld in, got to stop dust gettin in some how!

So while we wait i started prepping inside the car, started on rear arch

Then primered it to see what looked like and was feeling bored

and thats where i stopped, plans next are to weld sun roof and all holes inside car, paint everything inside (metal of course not dash etc etc) Bright White and the roof black, obviously only painting places that dont need welding!!!

nice to see another rally car being built!

i was watching this on ebay..

good luck and keep us posted how you are getting on with it!

How come its 3 different colours?

I can see black, grey and blue....?!

just different lighting, outside is purple, inside is half blue half white, will all be changing colour soon, not decided on paint job out exterior yet though

Not a lot changed, havent had time, got this weekend on the car but here couple new pics of body work being seen too

This weekend will see the fitting of set of Bilstein B6's i picked up this week, clean up tank guard i bought and fit that ,carry on the body work, and get it shipped off to get roof welded up and for the full respray

Looks quite tidy. You're getting along OK by the looks of it. I was watchin this car on ebay, looks a good buy!

not a lot to say or show but got hold a tank guard, granted looks a bit of a mess.....

but its under the car, but i set about cleaning it up, heres a before and after as such on the mounts for the guard

nothing special really lol

and set about tidying the bay up

here what it looks like at the moment

big mess at the moment, bosch injection system....lovely, cant decide what want to do with the engine, everywhere seem to read everyone goes on about twin 40's, so i might be going down that road, leave that til the end though

Looks well, engine wise, if I was building again, I'd probably stick with the standard injection. Have a search for -bruce- on here, he ran a group A 150bhp 1.6 8v :thumb:

What are the pipes p-cliped to the bulkhead? PAS?

looks like the fuel pipes!?!
