Looking really good. What did you paint the rocker cover with? The twinky rocker covers are made from a kind of bakolite type stuff and are crap. It's hard keeping paint on them, you may find it flakes off or you start getting oil reidue coming through

 

i dont like the light cloth though, only the dark rainbow cloth
what way is your td build?
thanks lad, i might give that a go actually as tbh my bottles look sh*t lol.
thanks very much

 

thanks very much mate im glad you like it

i shall take a look at yours now

 

thanks mate, i used a good quality 2 pack paint, i know they arent the best for painting but i thought id give it a go anyway lol, sure if it goes all ugly ill get a black one and it will do well lol.

 

did you get it sorted/its looking good mate

 

the hubs? havent even painted them yet, dont know why either lol
repainted the wings and there a far better match

 

 

you like her?

 

how you getting on mate

 

not too bad now, engine nearly built up, new brakes ordered, and im only after painting the skirts, bootlid and spoiler i think im due another update lol

 

have the door cards and lid sorted for you mate

 

ok at long last i have an update, and you will be pleased to see whats been goin on this past while, my parts FINALLY arrived from burtonpower and i got my engine built up, i also got alot of the wiring sorted so nearly everything is working now after that i got almost all the interior back in, except a few door cards etc. and i painted the rs skirts, bootlid and spoiler, and got the brand new discs and pads in and bled up, then i decided it was time to set the engine in, got it near ready to go bar a few parts i needed, and once i got these parts i threw some petrol into her but no noise from fuel pump, checked the plugs were clipped in again and then put direct power to it to make sure it was ok, once i got this sorted and a few wee leaks, i tried to start it but the starter made no effort atal, bad starter as wiring was all good, i decided to get my dad to give me a wee tow as i was the able to get the oil up around her before firing, then when i decided it was right she fired straight up, never as pleased in my life now i just have a few we things to sort out with it and it should be good to take for a longer drive.
also in the middle of all tha (saturday night) i made my own custom stainless steel exhaust (pics below) it took me a good few hours but after hearing the noise i am soooo pleased with it
and just there now i took it for a short drive up the road and it didnt heat up which is good and it seems to be driving perfect, going into all gears perfect, brakes are lethal (rear p/s heating up though?), and feels to have nice power although i didnt really open it up as it was the first run, oh and it is really REALLY loud!

anyway here is a few pics of how she looks and some of the progress that ive been making












my custom made exhaust


well thats it up to date now anyway hope you like it lol

 

looking really well lad

 

thanks lad must get a few pics of the way she is now, shes nearly finished

 

coming on well mate

 

just got a few pictures of the car here, shes nearly finished, everythings been painted and theres only a few small problems to sort and then i should be off to mot, one of the main problems is why the wiper fuse keeps blowing? plugged each thing that is connected to it that i can think of out and it still blows?
anyway heres a few pics of her now

 

Hows that straight pipe working, didn't you lose some torque?

 

looking good mate but i bet it sounds wank with that straight pipe on, i had a scorpion on a twinky & it was shite,it farted more than owt

 

its stainless steel and 2 inch, i think it has a slight we bit more power with it on, id say if i went for normal exhaust pipe it woulda sounded like shite but to me it sounds pretty damm good. i dont think theres a loss in power but a rolling road would decide that lol

 

yeah normal are shite too
aslong as your happy,i just dont like the rasp they make

 

yeah each to their own etc lol well in ireland raspy=deadly

 

and deadly=good haha

 

your right lad, us and our irish terms lol

what do you think of her now?

 

very jealous of her lad, car looks amazing

 

im irish but i don't get it with the aerial's on the boot lid wipping the qaurters lol

 

thanks lad theres a few things to tidy on her yet though but shes not too bad looking

 

i think its one of those things you either love or hate, im looking to actually use the cb radio so it should be there serving a purpose lol

 

get a big dirty laguna splitter on her lad

 

its on the list lad dont worry do you have a fuel pump for the efi??

 

think its about time i updated this, since i was last on the car has been mot'd, and ive been driving it a bit, i think shes pretty much finished now except a few wee small things.
my plans with her now are to get alot of extra lock, coilovers as shes not solid enough, cossie seats and some other little things. after that she should be pretty much complete
i also have her on sharktooth rims now but no pics atm.
below is a few pics of her pretty much as she sits now..

and 1 question, which is better/more reliable, the BOA or BOB??













ill try to get some fresher pics soon

 

How possible / difficult is it to replace the front inner arches and chassis legs ?
Well done for your project Keep it up
Cheers

 

Thanks, I'd say its definitely possible but there is a lot of work in it, and fitting the new ones has to be done perfect so that its as strong as before and so everything lines up and fits, don't think I'd do it tbh lol

 

Any updates on this? Gotta be a favourite build of mine
