SMALL UPDATE
I changed the standard rover turbo injectors for some yellow cosworth one's..
[/IMG]
Now all i need to do is fined a new home for the fuel filter then i can run the braided fuel line from the filter to the fuel rail then that will be one more job off the long list..
but my turbo has been put on hold at the mo as i have had a little bash in my partners car
[/IMG]
[/IMG]
[/IMG]
And to top my week off i thought i would have a play with my little toy
[/IMG]
[/IMG]
I was playing out the back of mine and a small stone flicked up and went in the flywheel and smashed all the fine's off it
What's going to go wrong nexted as they alway's say it happen's in 3's...
I realy whant to finish my turbo but what ever im tuching lately seem's to fooken brake..
So when my luck get's better and the car is back i will def get back on with my S2 build

 

Not having much luck. Will have to wait till the new year as crimbo has raped my wallet and the car needs taxing too!!! It never ends.

 

That's fine mate no hurry

 

Just a small update
I got a lift down to the garage where my turbo is today just for an hour so i could do a few thing's...So to start this update off here's a pic of of my turbo in it's new home
[/IMG]
And this is her seeing daylight for the first time in age's
[/IMG]
And here is a pic of the inside at the mo(what a fooking mess)
[/IMG]
So once it was out of it's home and in some daylight i got to work sanding down the front and rear arch's and giveing it a few coats of red oxide so the metal dont go rusty again
[/IMG]
[/IMG]
The rear still need's a bit more sanding and then a little more red oxide but then it's ready for some under coat ...
But since i cant get on with that as i left the sand papper at home
I got on with takeing a few pic of the roof where the sunroof go's as it's not that bad
[/IMG]
[/IMG]
Apart from the passenger side in the front corner but i will get the wire brush out and some rust treatment then i can clean it all up ready for some red oxide and undercoat
[/IMG]
I the got on with trial fitting a differant alternator bracket witch has put the alternator in a better place Since that fit i will be takeing it back off tomorrow to sand and paint it and then that can go back on
[/IMG]
Arfter sorting that out i got on with marking up the heater blower cover where the srut brace catch's..Here's a pic with the strut brace on with out heater cover
[/IMG]
And here's the cover with the mark's where i need to cut out
[/IMG]
I will cut out where the line's are and then i will cut this bit of duct in half so the strut brace will fit into that and not catch on the heater box
[/IMG]
And i will use this black sealant to hold it in place
[/IMG]
And the last bit for tonight pic of door's nearly ready for sanding
[/IMG]
That's the lot of the update today hopefully i can get back on with some more at the weekend

 

im gutted to say but i think i might b brakeing my s2 as paint stripper has been droped all over the roof and know one noticed and now the hole roof is fucked and i dont think i can raise any more money for another shell as ive got to kids to feed and i have already spent about Ł6000 on this witch i will never get back so thats why i might be braking it im gutted to say the least but this has been a thorn in my side for over 2years now

 

i hate to be negative but wheres Ł6000 gone?? are you selling the car like its pictured above

 

can spend 6k on a S2 easy

 

no i wont be selling the shell and as for Ł6000 the omex and wireing loom and the sensors alone owes me Ł970 body pannels and sortting out under neith the car was well over Ł300 then there's brakes engine turbo manifold the list go's on i have all the papper vwork to prove how much has been spent thats why i cant spend any more on her

 

thank you mate it is easy

 

haven't looked at all my receipts but i must be past 6k including the buying the car. think i would cry if i did look

 

how bad is the roof?

 

it needs a new skin as the metal is pitted the worst thing about it is the it was primed ready to be painted and once that was done i only had a cupple of things left to buy to finish her off i recon about Ł300 pound arfter paint and it would of been finished

 

can't you leave the roof, then replace it with a carbon roof later.

 

how much is a carbon roof

 

Oh Dear

 

it look's like you might end up with the wheel's arfter all not unless i find money for another shell

 

I'd finish the car then when its running you can finish it with one of these

http://www.carbondelight.co.uk/page11.html

 

WOO HOO to the wheels. But oh fucking hell that this is happening. I have been most impressed what you have done with that car. Considering what you used to do to your bikes when younger

 

now that's a better idea than another shell and a good price

 

thank's big sister i want to finish this more than ever but the astra is now playing up badly and even though i won that money it look's like i might have to spend it on that or look at getting another family car

 

Right. On the big sister only on age, not by size.
Holy crap, it just gets better. but if you still want I will by those oh so nice wheels..

 

dont sell it mate,youll never get your money back and you will regret it for ever.
take a break bud and keep the faith

 

I will be carring on with her ive got Ł400 towards a carbon roof skin and what you are saying is spot on i would def regret it ive been so down in the dump's with it as it was one thing arfter another i felt like i was going mental and you r right i would never get my money back

 

be cheaper to get the roof painted than buy a carbon roof

 

would it be easy to paint as the metal look's realy bad and if i clean it up then i think it might need a skim of filler and i thought that might be a bad idea as the roof flex's or am i going a bit mad lol

 

So close on the wheels and now so far

 

dont give up on it now mate!!

 

get some pics of the roof up mate.
you can put filler in the roof,i had mine done.
im sure its fixable

 

What alternator bracket is that above mate?

 

i was going to carry on with it but money is tight and i need to do my class 1 so if i get alot of interest im braking it



fiesta rs turbo i think

 

hey! This was my old car! I had original Rs then reshelled her. Always wondered what happened to her.
