Thanks Gareth

Bloody phone photos hop!!

You've created a direct short, somewhere on the same circuit as the radio. Maybe interior light? Usually when you put a screw through a cable? It happens.

Hi guys, Could someone change the colour of my wheels to anthracite please? Not the best picks. Also it doesn't have the stickers. Thanks

It was a std 2002 clio converted to 172 running gear, ph1 front end which needed painting, 17" wheels and a 182 interior, That owed him £6k.

Bead blasting won't damage anything. Mask off the faces and block off any holes to restrict as much media going into the manifold as possible beforehand. I plan to blast some spare ones I have at work.

Good luck with it. Hope it works out better than the ph1!

I knew I shouldn't have sold the Pure Motorsport one off the Ph1 😂 I did think this when you were talking of getting another one!

Thanks Daniel.

Moving over here has probably cost me 50k in what my old house has gone up by and i'm hoping to break even on this one. It's complete and utter madness considering the difference in the houses! At the end of the day i'm going to see what it's about and go from there. The Job near droitwich is...

Thanks @Sir_Dave I'll take a look.

I have interviews at both. Having never lived in the areas is why ask fellow cs'ers for their views and have been most helpful. Trouble is most areas aren't so good these days unless you have at least 4/500k to spend on a house! Even with an 80k deposit i'm struggling!

My bosses sunbeam tiger. Full race car, is only just over 100 static at a metre distance at about 4000 rpm. It does have a tony law system some huge boxes though. You'll be fine!

Any good areas that are commutable within 1/2 an hour or so? Is Halifax any better?

Don't know if this is in the right section so feel free to move. I recieved an email yesterday for an interview at kahn design in Bradford. Just seeing if anyone has worked for them, or knows anyone that has? Just want to know if it's a good place to work? Also is Bradford a good place to...

@rickyquicky At the end of the day, if you finish the car without doing them then it'll always be on your mind. If it's right you'll have no worries!

The bottom of the sill usually has open drains/breathers. An overlap can allow moisture between it on the inside unless it can be welded both sides. I wouldnt want you to go to all the trouble now to only have another problem in the future. I don't know the types of cars he's doing and...

It's your choice. I know I couldn't leave it! Strength wise it's fine, but if any dampness gets between the overlap from the inside, it will rust and cause it to swell. If it's welded flush there's no where for it sit. If you're going to leave them then try and blend them on the outside with...

Thanks i'll make one up.

I was looking at my wife's ph1 today thinking it needs a battery cover! Where did you get yours?

Did consider it. I had a go a couple of years ago. It was ok but I concentrated on the metalwork, which is the worst part without seeing the benefits. Until we had a couple of losses in the family and I was sick of doing jobs for months and having no money in between. Hence we ended up in n...

Great thread! Loved this from the start.

Thanks Dan.

Thanks Guys, I actually get paid to do it too! The only thing is I can't be bothered to do my own car!

It's a Car my boss bought as a pair from the states. He had someone wanting him to build one so we did. He has 2 more roadsters to do and 2 fixed heads on the way from the states. I've told him i'm leaving, he's hoping we won't go! I would've said so, I don't deal with financial side of...

As requested!

Thanks Guys

Thanks, it's taken about 10 months from start to finish but it's not the only car we've been working on. I spent a couple of months welding it up! Just shows anything can be saved!

I must admit it was one of the worst I have done. I had to rebuild the doors, b posts, tunnel, repairs to front and rear bulkheads.

Hi guys just thought i'D show some pics of a S1 4.2 E type roadster we've just completed at work. Stripped and Blasted. Just a bit of welding! All done!
