I must say you have put a lot of work in to this a i look forward to the end result but so far VERY NICE

chris, just read this thread start to finish and must take my hat off to you sir. to say this may only be a track car you've certainly put the time and effort in, especially in the bay!!!

car looks awesome so far mate, can't wait for it to be finished

Thanks for the kind comments

here you go peeps

first up, like i said getting ready to spray her up so off with the roof mouldings, well pleased didnt bend it and didnt break any clips



something missing ? yes the holes for the side mouldings, welded and smoothed



new modified metal water pipe, no threaded studs smoothed and painted



shiny cam cover retaining strips and chromed nuts



and do you remember this



well it now looks like this



still prepping the body too

cheers for looking

Are you going to loose the spare wiper hole while you're at it?

no just in case


well had an engine night tonight, got the timing belt on and checked all markings



also got the alternator on and auxlillary belt fitted.



fitted new timing belt cover too



refurbed the fuel swirl pot and painted, fitted with brand new chrome nuts



my manifold ha ha



and finally fitted all my hoses some permanent with brand new jubilee clips





comments always welcome

cheers

Looking good mate, are you almost finished

Nice fanimold

that silver pipe will be cut through with the fanny belt.

that mani'll look trick when it's been hot a few times. all the hard work's starting to pay off in the looks dept now!!

hey ya'll

no where near finished

engine needs carb and fuel lines finishing.

then interior needs doing

then rear

then offside bodywork

then needs spraying

wheels need refurbing

MOT

tax

aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhh

dont think about it

It should be ready for last show this year... maybe

right

First up is bodywork, yes its getting painted and your still not seeing it, but to prove its getting done here's a pic of the sunroof out and hole masked up, exciting eh



next up i thought i would turn my attention to the dash, As yo will know i am flocking the dash and having all aftermarket gauges in a carbon fibre surround, got to work fab'in these up.





the smaller on will house the heater control and warning lights.

then i decided to relocate the fuse panel and make a home in the centre console, all other switches will be house'd here too.



while the fibreglass was setting i thought i should at least try to tackle the wiring 8O



and inside



and with the centre console in the car



at the mo my living room looks like a VW factory, got mk2 bits all over it.

other half of the engine loom also spread out across the floor

cheers peeps
