Rab

ferg1e

nice little project! my car was kept a couple of bays down from yours at one point when you were stripping it down ! i'm amazed at how much work has went into it so far! where abouts you from ?

vroooom ptssssh

RebornS1, thanks, i'll need to have a look at your thread to see whats goin on, I was thinkin today its actually gonna be a joy to build back up into a car again!

I've stuck on the rear quarter windows, doors are half back together just need seals and glass (tommo's job) and the door and boot rubbers are in place.
the boot needs adjusted to the right a little then i'll stick in the rear window/sunroof
Painted the inside floor today as well.

Rab, Here:












Ferg1e, how u doin mate what car was it you had in the shed? It's been allot of work but think its startin to pay off now, bet you thought I was fightin a losing battle

vroooom ptssssh

ferg1e, ah I know who you mean now Ive seein him in doing his car and that, I was at knockhill your car looked good! how did it perform?

Twins, cheers

Went and put in the front door glass, rear lights and sunroof today, it's takin shape!

roro22

I was on 2 hours sleep so I was much the same til I got out on track
It was great it took me a while to get a feeling for it as I didn't have much grip from the front end but I'm hooked now tho

rapidcossie

It is hard to believe its the same car that had the really good inner wings

ferg1e

it did great! even took my mum out for a bit at one point an lost it on the corner before the back straight! should have seen her face !

just cant wait for another time out now

vroooom ptssssh

Nice one Roro, you gonna take it on track again or get a wee track toy maybe?

Euan, It's mad it's going to feel like a totally different car now its all solid and stitch welded at the front, It didnt drive bad before it was just rattley as fook as the interior had jus been flung in!

Ferg1e, Thats good, bet your mum was filled with confidence after that

Think i'd be too scared to put my car on track


Not much has changed, jus glass, sunroof an rear lights!
