With the Wiper? I haven't really moved forward tbh as have had a lot on my plate recently with a house purchase. I have had a few thoughts and conversations regarding it. @robzracing uses a laguna rear wiper that sounds good, and is under 1/4 the price of the uno item. He uses his with a mount...

This is going to be one posh rallycar. #becauseracetart ;)

UPDATE: Whilst time passes as I try to figure out what I am doing with the wiper I thought I would get some other jobs tied up. Numberplate and rain/fog light. With how the previous loom was wired and me not having a rain/fog light I wired up that switch to switch the rear numberplate light...

Nice to see someone else on here flip the car and wire wheel the lot themselves.... its effort isn't it (but at least you had a jig ;) ) Great work so far, looks like things are coming along very nicely. Interesting reading about the steering debate too... I am without PAS or EPAS, will see...

Are there more details on your thread? if so I will go check

That dash set-up mate 👌

your welcome 😜 On the wiper note, you went with the renault rear wiper didn’t you?

UPDATE: On the theme of 1 step forward 2 back then onto the Storm Wiper conversion/wiper motor. As @BIGASH was still over we decided to try and sort the wiper (thinking it was going to be easy). Last time we looked it wasn't right and it was trying to sweep to far and then getting jammed. We...

Awesome work mate, Also in a similar boat with regards to tax/insurance and MOT. Just checking, do you run a single wiper, and if so how? (what mech etc)

Good progress... The best thing about Diamond motors is the logo ;)

UPDATE: To keep the theme going it was 2 steps forward and 1 step back over the weekend.... Handbrake... Well I am pleased to say that saga should be over. After a couple more chats with @barnesautos we thought it was probably best to buy a later handbrake (they differ between ph1 and ph2). I...

Now I do love a Williams wheel, but this looks 100x better on the OZ f1's... Think I may get some OZ F1's as my spare/wet set (rather than TD's)

Thats what I am kind of thinking... I am wondering if it would be too much. Didn't think about using electrical tape to visualise it. The rear spoiler doesn't bother me so much - I may look at sorting this in the future, but its not top of the list currently

Cheers man, I doubt it as there is a lot going on here and I may struggle to get it on the road by then, but I will surely consider it.... it does need a shakedown. This is as good a thread as any to ask I think... Should I paint the front window edging? I am talking about the lip around the...

It is a little way off on the 'importance list' at present but it is still something I am keen to do. Not sure how I will approach it yet, the way I see it there are 3 options: - either make one from scratch - Reverie make different width panels which I could utilise - look at using something...

Cheers mate, kind of you to say. The rear bumper is certainly marmite - but with the flat boot floor the bumper would have been quite a big parachute. I will fit a diffuser at some point, that will certainly help the #upskirt style rear end

Not sure which car I have been buying parts from all this time.... Just gone through the thread.... didn't realised the journey was so long. Have subscribed so I don't miss next years upload

Got this on its powdercoated wheels and gave it a wash - finally

UPDATE: As with the annoyance of the handbrake cables I was feeling that I needed to do something positive with the car and as previously mentioned I wanted to get it down on its wheels - despite not solving the handbrake issue and knowing I would potentially need to get it back in the air at...

This is exactly what I have (kind of) done. After chatting further with @barnesautos I have now ordered a ph2 handbrake mech.... hopefully this solves the issue.

UPDATE: Handbrake cables. Well today I finally got chance to fit the firstline cables tat I ordered the other week... These were Firstline part codes 3334 and 3335... The ebay store advised these would fit as did @barnesautos Well I can not say I am surprised at the outcome in all honesty and...

Cheers man, better in colour... Nice and bright in BLACK & YELLOW. But the side is the best profile.... perhaps for another day though.

It is indeed ‘the art thing’. I am a Graphic Designer by trade. 21ten provides custom/bespoke automotive art (effectively it is me colouring in 😜). I was being careful what to show but good to hear it has been seen and liked, thank you for the kind words. 👍

UPDATE: The handbrake lines have turned up, I just haven't got chance to fit them yet to due a poorly little boy. I have also got a new smaller single flat blade wiper - hopefully this will help solve the wiper issue. I am hoping to get some time on the car this weekend, I am desperate to get it...

Where does the wiring for the rainlight go? Up through the tailgate to the hinges and then into the car?

I think they look good on the majority of the phase1 colours.... But for sure now I have chopped it around and painted it a garish colour it massively updates it and suits it more. Ha, that makes me feel better. Do you Poorboys your race wheels? We have found the issue and it has the...

UPDATE: A small but positive one... The rear lights have been changed out for PH2 items. I was very much against this for a long long time, wanting the keep the ph1 identity. However as soon as I got them on my mind was made up. The PH2 lights just work with the green so much better and make it...

UPDATE: These also turned up this evening, lovely condition. I am unsure yet how I think they will look on the phase 1 - but they will help me with trying to sort the light wiring. If I don't like them they can always be sold again. Sacrilege???

UPDATE: Sorry brake lines have again been ordered from the ebay store Parts in Motion after they suggested First line 3334 and 3335 items would fit as did @barnesautos I hope they do... Whilst waiting for them I needed to polish and seal the wheels, with running CL pads the wheels are going to...

I will get those ordered - desperate for the car to go back down on its wheels. Thank you for the kind words - not bad for a garage build by someone who doesn't have a clue... don't waste too much of your life though - maybe start at page 100 ;)
