still not finished as ive got to paint the needles black so they match and also swap the cover over for my RS1600i one that i modified to hold my ACT guage

 

Very nice

Loving the custom white dials Ben

 

Yes very factory

 

That manifold is a work of art

The dials look kewl too

Nice work

 

How come youve not put 16i dials in it, with the two lights above the rev counter??

 

maybe because it is a 16i

 

lovin the dials mate

 

LIKE THE DIALS

Hope u got some waterproofs if your doing some work today

Nice work fella. It's good to see the start and the progress thereafter... I clicked on page1 and just had to go through all 17 pages - addicted!


Keep up the good work

 

can we have some body updates please im nodding off here












































Only kidding mate...keep the good work up!

 

im busy uploading the body update pics from today at this very moment

didnt want the RS1600i dials with the lights in the speedo cos im not gonna be using that engine so the lights would be no use to me, and i think they look dump

 

PICS!!!!
































Oh hang on , I've seem them

 

here we go, todays update is here

the drivers sill needed a bit more welding to finish it off, this was done the other day.

began cutting out the rear panel, still needs a bit more cutting off and tidying in the below pic



heres my mate Andy welding a plate over a hole in the boot floor



rear panel welded in place



welded a plate over the fuel filler hole, what does that tell you



welded on the lower rear right corner panel



skimmed it with bodge



Andy working his magic again, sanding down the filler



rear right arch smoothed off roughly, needing a few more goes to get it just right




welded up the washer and wiper holes, since its a summer toy they're no use

 

glad everyone likes the dials by the way, thought there would be a mixed group of opinions on them, some saying cool others saying cheesy n gay

 

Your not going to run an engine your just making a barryboy show piece?

 

Radders you fuckin muppet its having a Flintstones conversion

 

cheers mate, the same lines as what im thinking, so its nice n secure inside the rollcage, i always wonder about the ones in the boot in case of a rear end impact not sure how big a cell i want or where to buy it from yet either

 

This just gets better and better
Fuel cell eh, you never told me you coooooonnnntt

 

thought i did Dave never mind was a nice suprise for you

forgot to add above that ive also removed the rear tow eyev and welded the hole in the rear bumper up, going to add one to the spare wheel well like the S2 has

 

loving that update too no fuel cap very kool keep at it lads

 

 

nice Ben nice

 

Hope u don,t spend you're summers in the north east then

 

looking good ben

 

will do ive had a look thru the burton catalogue and they sell their own as well as pro alloy ones, and the pro alloy ones aro 3 or 4 times the price. will have to do some research i think before i spend.
