About bloody time

Oh, stick the kettle on

Come on then fellas dont be shy

 

Due to work being very busy over the last 2 or 3 months and sorting out other projects I havent had anytime to update my resto thread That is'st to say the MK1 hasnt had any attention .

First this is the other project (yeah I know its a cack MG Fidget but it is gonna look good when its done) Its a customers car and he's had it from new!!

Anyway managed to turn it from this:



(Its the horrid mustard piece of crap in the background )

To this:





Anyway enought of that Back to me motor


First thing I got done this year was I had the rear end 5 linked. I'd been planning it for a while and was going to do it myself but thought I'd be beter of getting it done by someone that knows best. I took it to Gary at Retromotorsport who did a fooking top notch job Cheers mate

Looks like this underneath now.







Me and liam (bruv) also made a new exhaust from scratch which fits much better than anyone you can buy, which is nice Ive fitted 5 different types over the years and this is th best.

Also had a new screen put it which has replaced the old tuffend one to a brand new laminated one.


NICE

Got a new tank goin in:



And im doing some work on the cage to strengthen up the car but I havent finished thet cos its alot harder than it looks













Upfront hasnt been left out either Got brand new Wilwood 4 pots with fast road discs and pads. Hopefully the brakes dont go all soggy when on track or on the way to and from work anymore .













Anyway thats it for now, Thanks for looking

 

Love this car, use to see it alot on my way to work (in bromely)and at a few RSOC meets, look brillaintm nice to see where it came from as well

top work

 

Cheers mate

Have you still got the stripped Corsa? Liked that alot

 

suprised you know about that, did go to the moat a few times in it

yeah still got it, more power now, and cage beeing welded in next monday

 

Look forward to seeing that

 

I hope you dont mind,but i have a picture of your car as my screen saver. It's one of the back of it,outside the garage.It has a big bore stainless steel backbox on it. There is a red astra on the ramp in the background. This is the best picture for me.
I plan to start my own mk1 project,but running a sierra floor,with 4wd cossie power.The car i have in mind is rotten as a pear,hence just replacing the floor with a sierra one.
I also have a 2 door mk2,with original chassis rails,strut tops,inner wings etc. just needing light restoration.
When i get my driveway done in about 4 weeks its all systems go,but in the mean time,all i can do is drool over cars like yours.

 

cheers mate, i like it, only a corsa at the end of the day though

hope you dont mind, but ive poster up the pcsi on another forum, as its a brillaitn resto thread

also when the car done, if you do venture out to the RSOC meets would love to get a ride in it to see what its like, never been out in any mk1 or mk2

 

Yeah mate no probs glad to take passengers, I plan on being at the RSOC meet alot this year and plan to get the car out on show alot more this summer.What other forum have you put it up on?

 

will come over and sau hello when i see you about, as its at brands now plan to be at the rsoc most of the time, as its only 2 mins away

put it up on corsasport.co.uk, may suprise you, as alot of people seem to think thats its full of maxp shit, which some of it is

is in gen chat, curretley top 4 or 5 topics are ford related in there

 

Glad you like it mate I dont mind, quite happy actully . Good luck with you motors, the more saved the better
