Right, just a little update.

Got a spare few hours last night so got myself stuck in again

I managed to get most of the interior out. I will be leaving the dashboard in as i dont think i could handle all the wires everywhere. This will be fully masked off before painting the inside. I also left the speaker pods on as they are riveted on and i didnt want to drill them out until i know you can still get them. Anyone??


Its amazing what can build up in your washer bottle ale: ale: ale:

Then it was off with the front bumper, lights etc


Then it was out with the rad, which will be replaced by a nice shiny monster alloy one, also removed alternator and starter motor. All is going well
The front panel that houses the lights etc will be replaced as its started to go where the bumper mounts but i will hopefully be able to retain the original factory seal to the wings. Paul/Matt can this be done lads?????


Engine bay before i got stuck in

Then


What the fook have i started lmao lmao
Notice how every switch ive taken off i photographed where it was then tagged it. I got this idea from Paul Ruddy - RS16i Resto, I think this will save me one fooking huge headache when i come to put it all back together :doh:

What does this do then lmao lmao Plan is to stage 1 it just to give it that little ooommmffffffff


Then it was out with all the air intakes and wiper mechanisms,what a biyatch they were



Well its getting there slowly but surely.
The bit i am dreading is removing all the air flow meter and master cylinder/brake set up. Any tips on doing this and also whats the best way to remove the turbo????

Hopefully more pics later on after ive got my hands dirty.

All going so far so good
