My 3dr Cosworth project updated (16.01.12)* - Page 5

Gav Diamond · 18-03-2005, 07:14 PM

Started to do work on the car the other day.
I have had the alarm fitted and now just need to start sorting the rest.

Did the bonnet yesterday, put the vents in and heat proofed the underside but the pictures don't show it off very well.

I hope to have most of it done by Central Day, only time will tell *

Sticky. · 18-03-2005, 07:29 PM

Good luck mate, hope to see the car soon

Gav Diamond · 19-03-2005, 03:57 AM

Its getting there just really slowly.
Waiting on the seats at the minute, and am getting a dash next week and sending it off to be flocked.
Also waiting on my petrol tank off Pro-alloy think they are going to start making it next week or something.

Whats with the sig mate????

Picked up my seats today

Massive thanks to Renton for sorting these out for me *

Should be collecting my dash board on tuesday and my petrol tank on friday so all being well the interior should nearly be finished by next weekend. *

Gav Diamond · 04-05-2005, 12:52 AM

Collected my dash today

This is how it compares to standard

Few random pics

started to put it together

The dash is actually in the car now but it was too dark to get any good pictures.
Will update it again tomorrow.

Sticky. · 04-05-2005, 08:24 AM

peteh · 05-05-2005, 07:02 PM

how much were those seats gav

what effect is that they do on the dashes, furry?

expensive?

Gav Diamond · 11-05-2005, 05:59 PM

The seats were sorted through Renton direct from Cobra, so you would need to speak to him to see if he is still able to do them.

Dash is furry yes, but i like it *

*

More pics of the dash in.

Got my petrol tank and swirl pot yesterday, thank you Alex and Wayne @ Pro-Alloy *

*

Dunno where is best for the swirl pot though
Here:

Or here:

Only problem with this place is the tank is resting ontop of it.

WutangRS · 12-05-2005, 11:02 AM

roughly how much is a tank like that?
does it come with all the connections on top and does it have a bag inside or is it just an alloy tank with foam?

looks great BTW

You would be best to speak to Alex at Pro-Alloy as they are made to whatever spec you are after.
Mine is just a alloy tank with safety foam inside but i had the swirl pot and the sender and level gauge aswell.

Paul i hate to show you this but i had to pull your favourite stripe off as i was unhappy with the fit of the door.
