ill post some far better pics of the outside of the car tomorrow,it was hart to take pictures inside the garage in the dark so ill roll the car out tomorrow morning and take some gooduns

 

nice one mate

 

You've done a great job so far

 

chhers lads
heres some pics of the cfar itself,minus the kit which i havent fitted yet,hioping to have her going again soon

 

i got a better wiring loom yesterday,i was bored and thought it was dull and uncolourfull,so i taped it up with blue tape instead.

progress is slow at the minute as its ower wet and cold outside,i might do a bit next weekend,i also got a magnex exhaust,piperx filter and complete set of gaskets all brand new still boxed for 150 off a mate

 

nice one

 

cheers mate

 

Done a great job there dude. What colour is it?

Did you find any problems using the 1300 shell? Thinking of re-shelling my own into a Bonus shell.

Cheers

 

looks awsome mate,voodoo 2's too.good choice.the colour realy sets the suspension of a treat.good job matey

 

cheers lads
im unsure of the exact colour mate,i was sure it was imperial blue as thats what we done the underside with but the lad who done the spray job on the outside tells me otherwise,i cant remember the exact colour he said but its similar.
i had no problem at all using the 1300 shell mate,everything fitted spot on.

 

Aye aye son how's things ?

Car is looking sweet. I nearly stopped at yours the other night just to see how things were coming on but thought you might not be in.

If you get stuck with anything just PM me.

 

alrite mate,if i need help getting it running(which i probably will)ill give you a ring mate,cheers

 

If you have lost my number I will PM it over to you now.

 

How comes ur rear sits very high??

Very nice car mate, well done what spec is engine

 

Cheers dude - think I have found a good wee Bonus shell so its decision time!

 

cheers mate
dunno why it sits so high mate?i think it may be cos the spings and shocks are new and aint settlet yet,as the springs are supposedley -25mm.
engine is staying standard till i get her going again,then hopefully i can afford to get NMS to tune it.

 

cheers for the coments lads,here are a few pics i took thisweekend when i fitted the exhaust and a few little bits.

 

Mint car!

Seeing yours has decided me! Got myself a Bonus to re-shell mine into as its gettin a bit sheddy.

Any hints or thats you can give?

CheeRS

Ross

 

alright mate,glad youve decided to reshell yours,it can be a pain in the arse sometimes but overall its fun work
best hint i can give,is to prepare the bonus shell before you strip your donor car,i stripped the rs turbo before i even got my bonus shell and i lost as lot of parts and a lot got broken too while laying around in the shed
if you have the bonus shell ready and then just take bits off your car and add them to the bonus shell gradually it is a lot simpler,and you dont have to spend a morning looking for little bits that you need,i really wish i had done it that way
good luck mate

 

Cheers - top man!

I have a Bonus shell now, its Mattisse blue, 1.1 with no sunroof - just what I was after. All the main parts are solid but putting the doors, tailgate and bonnet from the XR onto it - shell only cost Ł30! Will get some pictures up soon.

Thanks again dude.

 

no problem mate
shell sounds a bit like the one i got,paid Ł50 for it,just like yours the main parts were solid but put the door,tailgate ect off the turbo
looking forward to seeing the pics

 

Top work mate,keep it up

Looking good


Rich

 

cheers mate

 

Sounds like we had a similar plan - pix of mine now up!

 

impressive work

18 months since this was at the top of this forum

for the local lad

 

bassy_g
looks very nice matey

 

cheers lads i forgot about this picture thread
unfortunatley my digi camera broke so the latest pics i have are about 1 year old,here are the latest bunch i have.








as of now the car is roughly 99% complete,needs a few minor jobs before i mot it,then i can get to the fun part of adding some performance parts

 

What's the last pic about, the fuel pumps just cable tied round the tank spout?! Hope that's sorted! lol

 

yeah mate,was a temporary solution till for robbed me of around 100quid for a new cage most ive ever paid for a bit metal with a few bits of rubber

 

Not cheap are they

 

i was quite shocked when they told me how much it would be.

today went to the garage and went to start her,nothing there,i looked at the switch for the headlamps and realised id left them on
put the jump leads on and she started,ran for about 30seconds and cut out,now 95% of the time she wont start and when it does it runs like shite and the turbo hisses like its burning water

 

car looks lovely, garage door's even matches the paintwork

whats the engine spec?
