there no splits mate...I wish lol there 7.5 x 16s with slightly stretched 195/45s
Kinda large update peeps
Got all of the wiring sorted out eventually...so it now has a cat1 Toad alarm/immobiliser, remote central locking and all the wiring for the tunes is in(including absoluteley cnuting huge 0gauge power cable lol)-








had 2 red LEDs lying around so I made custom holders and done away with the door pop buttons-

these are wired into the alarm LED so flash with it
couple of random shots-


had kenny fae kens windscreens refit the screen for me-

then had an absolute nightmare...the wheel bearings collapsed! all because we were moving it around with no driveshafts in...so fix the bearings, go to fit the first shaft and-

it falls to bits! lol so thought fuck it and bought 2 new ones-

repainted my calipers coz the steels had scraped the paint off-

painted the front discs too-

sanded the face down to remove the excess paint and the finished result is-

sound deadened the roof-

fitted the front door windows but managed to fuck up the trims/seals -

then my chrome bits arrived -

but got majorly pissed to find the quality is rather shite half the parts arent polished fully and this is what the timing cover looks like-

painted the head lining black (was light grey)-

and got a MINT carpet for a fiver -

trial fitted my sony headunit-


fitted my chrome tailgate struts-

then got the carpet, sill trims and quarter panels in-



took fekin ytears to type that lol

MINT mate, nice work

My 2nd R5GTT was silver, best colour IMO

I reckon the dash and trim panels would look mint in black/flocked, thats only differnt thing id do.

Well, I love the R5GTT kit so id not be able to resist putting that one either!

Fucking wicked work tho mate, nice one

bit more done
had to make up brackets so I could fit my seats so got some 10mm thick flat bar and attempted to drill 4 holes in it...managed to do 1 bracket(needed 4) which took an hour and a half to drill lol so gave up n asked Jim from a company called PARO next door to my dads n he done it on the CNC for me got them back and welded 2 bolts into each one (the bolts that hold the brackets to thefloor were later counterbored so they sit flush as the seat rails hit them-


harnesses in-



glued my bodged rattle canned headlining in place -

fitted the clocks in properly-

and fitted an ISO plug to the headunit power wires-

HUUUUGE thanks to barry at autotint (fimmo) for sorting out my rear windows...top bloke and didnt mind me slavering over his gorgeous MR2 whil I was in lol...picked them up last night and fitted them straight away also got my steering boss kit (all the way from bulgaria ) so fitted my steering wheel.
