I got the lines semi made up from a chap on the rally forum. Making your own is very very easy.

Cheers guys. It's a good feeling finally having a car come together. Haha damn right Iam ill be coming to you for lessons :p

​Managed to get a few bits sorted before i leave for tenerife for a week. I started with under sealing the front arches. Then i started to prep the inside for a quick blast of paint. a few quick coats. it isnt perfect but its still looking pretty good. Then it was onto...

​previously i had dry fitted my brake lines. i had made up two little bits for the fuel system and bonnet pull cable as im running the sytem through the bulkhead in its standard location i had to blank the hole. this will go through the bulkhead with a plate either side. Also i had...

​Ive left it a while since my last update, ive done loads but it doesnt seem to show but iam moving along slowly but surely. ive just uploaded 70 pictures so ill try and keep it small. I said goodbye to my previous project which left me with plenty of space in the garage, pretty sad it went...

​Well i had a early finish at work today so started prodding the rust. When i got the car it didnt look so bad a easy job to patch but inevitably the more you look for rust on these the more you will find. I then got to the point of f**k this lets get the engine out so i can do it...

​Well its been a long week and it doesn't feel like much has been done, realistically quite a bit has been done but there's still plenty to do. hopefully now with the car more or less stripped of the bits i no longer need it shouldn't be too much hassle building it back up. not many pictures but...

Mentalist. Get that boot floor painted.

ive had it in bits and not spotted any. hit the nail on the head with that description. he also said after market suspension and supersprint manifold, im yet to spot them.

​Well bugger me todays been a long one. felt like its been non stop infact thats what its been. bit of a nightmare with the cage trying to get it all lined up its been in and out more times times than i care to remember. it isnt quite in, it needs the holes drilling then its in. and its staying...

​Today's work seemed to take forever and it feels like little was done but i didn't really stop, ill say it again. im a slow worker. Started off taking the exhaust off then the tank fairly straight forward, i cut the fuel lines so it seems im going to need to use my fuel system, no bother would...

no mate got this second hand was fitted by rally design but it never saw the road. £550 it cost so wasn't all that bad, i certainly wouldn't buy new just keep a look out for one. bit more to the omp in terms of fitting i believe plus the safety devices will have a better re sale value so id keep...

turinis are staying i want to show the brakes off lol. im hoping this will be done in a couple weeks. making slow progress atm i need a kick up my arse.

it wont be quick but hopefully itll handle and stop well.

Heres a follow on thread from jims ill keep it updated if people keep interest in it. my last project started to go abit too far and cost alot of money i want to go back to basics with a decent spec that isnt going to break the bank and require all my time so when this came up for sale by the...

of course. lol just starting work on it now ill stick a thread up somtime this week. did some searching is that blyton day a westfield only day?

more so than i thought it would be tbh. had a nod off a lad in a corsa and a chap in a clio gave a damn good stare as he went past. getting attention already and ive not done anything.

i definitely do need to come along. and by the end of this week i hope to have my new toy track ready. so i can join you on a few days.

cheers mate home safe and sound, slight headache for the second time after buying a car off you. little collection now this a gti and the s1 shell in the garage. week off next week and plenty of parts to be sticking on. ill bosh a thread up for you all to see.

i love this thing. how would the tarty bus fare in comparison on a such a track?

​Yesterday i managed to get a trailer sorted to get the shell to its new home. the trailer looked massive but with the sides up it was soon filled up. Got it all strapped up and on the move After some horrendous weather we got it home and i bolted the casters on. To make life easier...

​Well its been a while since my last update due to me fracturing my ankle in two places and snapping two tendons playing football. anyone who has been in cast or currently is i feel your pain.Another reason for lack of updates is ive moved in with the mrs chuffed to bits with the house and the...

not a bad idea but id rather buy a proper paint gun and do it properly. if it comes off with just a thumb rub i cant imagine it lasting to long on a daily.

gutted i missed this, just too much going on atm so completely forgot

does he drive a range? i was up there when i got my last 172 to get some snaps and as i was driving out a group of 4 blokes in one stopped in front of me asking what i was up to, i bobbed me a pants a little. i always drive by on the way to me mates workshop and see randoms on the track, never...

may have to nip over after work looks good.

it should be alot of fun. cage it before taking it over 35mph tho.

ill be in cast until the 20th :( i blame my riding making my ankle and the rest of my body so fragile.

christ thats a cracking spec and certainly must shift. haha ill package the bits up for you and send them on over.

another reason why i hate you lol. looks like a proper machine. whats the spec i dont think youve ever actually told me. swap for a rallye in bits?
