Well myself & Deano have stripped out the interior, not a happy bunny though the only part of the car that was finished was the interior .
Most of the parts removed were pluggable, but the Nitrous system controller etc was hard wired into the glove box so had to be cut out .
Still its now ready to go to Xsport on Monday.

well rod dropped the car off today and a few of the lads were wondering what all the fuss was about so i spent 10 mins educating them on rods site ! after a few fuuuuching hells and few other comments it was just enough time this afternoon to get the screens out , and considering this saff has not had much paint in its life she aint doin bad







thats it for now and im not sure about posting more need to speak to rod and neil@ff as the cage will be part of the up and coming feature

Quick look today, Main hoop is in & front cage fabricated tomorrow will see it mainly completed. Ive started making the Nitrous,W/I & ALL other parts plugable & generally tidying up 12 years of hard wiring, so that future removal of Dash/accessories is easy.

Couple of updates
Talking to XSport about aero aids for the car as they are invoved with that so will see an undertray & maybe other mods designed for the old girl.

The bits you will see the Lower dash with Accesory panels fitted.



The bits you wont see all bits will be pluggable for easy removal including the Nitrous controller which I may now mount where it can be seen.

Yes
Drawn to scale in word, Black background/ White lettering then laser printed on card & then laminated, looks factory, the card is held to the ally panels by the switches etc. Very durable, been done sometime now & easily replaced.

No it means revs dont drop on gear change as you keep your foot planted on the acclerator & hence no loss of Boost.
