Been a horrendously busy last couple of weeks! Luckily I've been on holiday at work which turned out to be great timing! The night before MOT we run the car around the yard to get the brakes working a bit better but on returning to the lockup the fronts seized on solid. We had to do a million...

Cage is all painted now and looks amazing thanks to Alex ? Seats and Harnesses went in shortly after that was dry! The seats are so comfy and the harnesses are brilliant too - we're so happy with them ? Sump guard mountings are also finished now.. Can sorta see the mounting brackets we've...

Paint progress... Needs going over again in a few bits but the majority is done again now and looks much smarter again. Also modified a wheel brace by welding on a deep socket to fit over our studs and painted it yellow... Began fitting the PMS sump guard yesterday too which we're modifying...

Tank cover is now finished fitted and all sealed up. Really happy with how it's turned out seems we made it from scratch ourselves! Spare wheel straps are also bolted in, borrowed one of Pete's wheels just to get them in the right place. All the floor has been repainted after the new seat...

Forgot to say we got an entry secured for AGBO stages too!

Tank cover fabrication is 95% finished now. Made two straps to fasten it down too so we could then work out the exact location of the box on the side for the filler neck section. Just all needs attaching together now and then the inner joints sealing with some tiger seal and it's finished!

Pictures of the tank cover as it stands... we began making the filler neck section yesterday but haven't quite finished it yet. Polycarb window to view the fuel level incorporated into the design... Use of some rubber door seal cut to shape to seal the bottom edges of the tank cover once it's...

More progress bringing us closer to a logbook... Instead of making a box for the fuel pump we decided to relocate it into the facinity of the tank which is having a cover over it anyway. So we ordered the fittings we needed and some more hose and got on with making it. Also extended the wiring...

Hahaha, I spoke to him today about it. I can vouch for Sam he's rally mad lol but understandable wanting someone with experience! It's gonna be competitive lmao. I'll be going with the usual lot I do too so that'll be: Rob in his white MK2 (Who you know), Harry Gardner in his purple MK2 (FAT...

Yeah crazy cheap mate! Love how the belts look and the seats seem okay too - can't argue with the price like you say. Will be good fun mate looking forward to it too, get my mate Sam navigating for you he's a good lad knows his stuff!

Been busy but not had time to update as usual! New seat rails are welded in place now... underneath this time also! Excuse the broken camera quality... They've also been primed up ready for re-painting most of the floor now too to tidy it up again. Added some B-Pillar gussets to the cage...

I have no heat shields on mine with fuel and brake lines down the tunnel. I've only ever felt the bottom of my PMS shifter get slightly 'warm' once - as above it'll be absolutely fine.

Made a start on plumbing it in earlier, had to modify our extisting brackets to start with then bend and cut the pipe to suit. Also made another bracket that points a nozzle at the fuel rail area/front of the engine. Can just see the three nozzles, two where they were before and one on the...

Yes mate two coils of the 8mm metal type. Got it from Demon Tweeks as part of the kit. Here

Not really had time to update this atm because of uni deadlines approaching and being really busy. Forgot to update after my BARS test a couple weeks ago which I passed no probs and had a brilliant day at Phil Price Rally School. He even took Alex out for a drive while I was doing my exam and...

Oohh smart I think I'll treat myself they look a lot tidier ?

Hahahaha fancy sending me a link to those please, if they look pretty I'll probably buy them...?

Bit of mudflap material jobs a gooden?

Nice one mate! Yeah it says somewhere it should be protected from things shorting out on it. I suppose it just depends on what scrutineer you get as usual ?

Some more little bits tarting the car up and working towards the logbook that we've done over the past few weeks... Terminal covers for the battery (required in blue book rules for positive terminal) Adjusted the bias towards the front more today as the rears kept locking up at Curborough...

Oh s**t didn't know that misread the bluebook again then? Sure it said it was mandatory for MSA events... you're bloody right they're not cheap

Airbox and ducting is all back on now and we managed to sort the steering out after removing the column.. such an annoying job. The tracking is miles out now though due to the spline obviously not going back in the same place, so that needs doing again now. Very uncomfortable car.. Also Alex...

I'd love a Twingo rally car lol, my daily 133 Cup is ace fun

Definitely! I wasn't tryna slate him haha was just saying it could be driver for that exact reason mate. I'll do nowhere near as well as that first one I do lol

I spoke with Blair a few times, its a new car to him and that was his second event in it and for his co-driver (Wife to be) the car needs a few bits sorting which he is going to get done over the next few months Ahh fair enough makes sense then! I'll be exactly the same when I start lol. I...

Quick that then! Definitely see you there if you do mate! Bloody hell that'll be a machine and a half if its true... I thought exactly the same thing it didn't look as fast as I expected it to be, perhaps it could be down to driver but don't know?!

Was a cracking day wasn't it. Didn't realise you were either until I saw your Instagram story later in the day haha. Shame mate will have to get it there next year! You'd be pretty close I reckon yeah. Was looking forward to seeing Steve Quigley going round but he didn't turn up for some reason :(

Great day yesterday servicing for Rob and Joe competing in the MK2 Escort powered by an S2000 engine on ITB's. Had an eventful day with brake fade issues which we rectified by bleeding the brakes with new SRF. Then the gearbox started playing up... Jumping out of gear and eventually not...

Must do yeah lol, silly rules as normal

Really haha that's ridiculous lol. I'll have to see...
