that's more like it i can understand that lol

bad day, rough day, as I think the lights fading out, all went wrong, wanted to install the centre gaugepod, messed up, nothing fitted. When I first was in a roomy space, now I'm just placed in a dark, cold, large gathering space where all life seems to be non existing



HATE IT
even tho they proposed to move back,when the bus has been finished, I refuse it

Rs Baz

whats happend dude

dont give up

fomoco90

hello after a small dip at the end of last week, we're back in full force, and I think I'm in the last straight line!!!!
As planned I took a day off at work, wanting to instaal the interior, seat belts, installing new antenna cable, fixing the wires to the roof mounted clock, did some fishing on that one, hahaha.

Must say seats from an rs turbo, half leather ones, DO SIT very nice and comfy, even if it's the rear seats.

But what a relief in seing some seats innit
roof panel was/is a nightmare to fix as it seems all wobbly and don't want to flat, hence the tape, stratching it a bit


In the evenings was busy in fixng the centre pod holder, fucked it up only to discover that you should fix a ring that pulls the complete replacemnt part to the dash BUT I liked MY solution far better
If anyone interested, lmight make some like that IF you provide me the pod holder, the one that replaces the vents, just pm me

complete dash

pods, one missing, volt comming from the states, bit cheaper


cheers, oh and rubbing and sanding is up for the next 1.5 week, so exterior paint lurks around the corner, adn will eat another whole in my pocket
hey a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, right







paint the car
cheers for now

Rs Baz

got any pic's of the paint work yet dude .

i like the pod holder mate the one i had was shit and cost me Ł25 i was well pissed of with it

AGAR-COSWORTH

Coming on very nicely, cannot w8 to see it finished. Roof linig looks a rite bastard to do, best of luck with it.

Zetec_mk4_XR3i

Roof lining does look a bugger, mine is staying put!!!!

fomoco90

I knoo, haven't finished yet!!! just taped it all, hoping, to give it some shape it would ave haved, as it was folded for over a year.
Reason why I wait is I first have to have the car painted, so I can finally put all panels in place, a bit a glue here and a bitta glue there, and it should be stretched and fitted never to get loose again

Looking good dont give up not matter how long its going to take!!!!!!

What stage are you at now???

fomoco90

it is hard to leave it be for a while, but.....
naywayz, am doing the gearbox, with the mates at work, while I finish of the front and rear bumpers, door, rear boot lid, and at the end of next week a quite special hood, if all parts arrive on schedule. While next week saterday will be sanding the car down to start painting it, so need to get all the upper mentioned ready to be painted at the same time.

Gearbox will be left open till I have enough for all parts to make it fresh again, was thinking of a quaife LSD, so if anyone outthere has got a GOOD one for sale, pm accepted
cheers guys

James_RScos

nice

Alan s1

looks like the same as i sore it last

fomoco90, but i cant wait untill the new pic good work m8

fomoco90

Alan s1, lmeaning??
good to hear from you how's your car ??
looks very nice as from the sig
hey just wait another three weeks, surprise

Alan s1

Yes well my car yer I broken it about 2 months ago and have tried fixing it last weekend had it running on all 4 so i was off to a good start BUT then it cut out and would'nt run well it pulled the bottom boosted hose off and there was shit LOADS of fuel in there If i had a flamer kit i would have have shit hot flames as it would have been going strait into the turbo but trying to sort out a new metering unit

Keep them pics coming m8

fomoco90

hi m8, second, man I swore I'll never ever do this kindda resto ever again.
have to say I had some luck as I did a major deal on the complete new roof, scrap yard for, +/- Ł7, yep seven , the left rear q panel was a bit dearer +/- Ł80, the roof lining came with the roof I cut off.
In all, nowing that I bought the car for 625€, but am now over budget with 10x the amount of purchase. Reason is that one of me m8's couldn't continue, so had to have all the welding done by our bodyworkshop, which is in terms TOP quality
Painting is within a couple of weeks, from then on, it should go quite quick, except the engine and gearbox, but that's another story

cheers evr'yone

Rab

fomoco90...

I got to sea for a few months and you get a LOAD done. I cannot wait to see this finshed! It's absolute quality!!

fomoco90

Rab, hiya m8 good to sea yer back in one piece, all is well now that you got yer feet back on soil, hahaha
soz m8, couldn't wait for ya, anywayz, painting IS due very very soon, keep checking
thx

escort1989uk

use a hot air gun on the roof lining help pull it tight and keep it moving as it will melt other wise

guys and, some dolls,
small update, working on the hood as of now, should be done by the end of the week, all together with both doors, boot, hope it'll all be primed, so evr'ything can be pianted in one time
Argh yes I know, I can hear some of you think "blimey what a geek using a scooby scoop" hey it's my car and I have a vision for it, and that one comes nearer evry day, and for those who don't like it, more scooby parts will be added to the hood, just wait and see.


i had to add some metal, so I could advance the scoop a bit further,

cheers, will start on reassembling the gearbox tonight or tomorra evening, depending on work's work
cheerioooo

WutangRS

that looks more like a subaru legacy scoop. doesnt stick out as much and looks alot more subtle.
