sounds good, i will probably add a dashbar, maybe some gussets, but will see. do you have any pictures?

That was what i was looking at, £490 +VAT unfitted or £1025 +VAT fitted by them. seems to be exactly what i described.

The car now sits nicely high up in the air, on axle stands giving me loads of room to work. Working from the OSF i started to clean the car up from the storage grim/dust/dirt it has collected over the past few years. Along the way straightening the mangled drivers side sill, currently i have got...

UPDATE: And so it begin's... (AGAIN) Saturday the wiring in my garage was finished, all sockets and lights are now working. Not wanting to waste anymore time the car was moved back yesterday. It now sits in my own garage that was pretty much specifically built to home it. I am stoked and can't...

i'll text you some pictures of wires to jerk off over

So over the past few weeks i set myself the task of wiring the garage for electrics. I am no electrician and it has taken me some time and a steep learning curve. But its all wired and awaiting an approved electricians sign-off (2-3weeks time). Very happy with the layout with lots of thought...

just found these for your readings dan. weird looking back through

the main thing was the split in the airbox, that got removed and sent away, i picked up the passat and then because i had a second car i just decided to get a bit more silly with it...hmmmmmmm

The garage has been up for a while, but up until today i hadn't actually tested to see how well the car fitted.... call it nerves perhaps. Luckily i have another clio to use to test fit. so it was reassuring that it fits quite nicely, its a bit of a fiddle negotiating in (tight alley way at...

nah thts not my neighbour i don't think, can't really see anything from that link

had a tiny bit of rot a little while back so that will be addressed anyways

ha, probably... Yeah all good mate, very happy with life right now, can't wait to get the car back home though

I need to finish this project, i have pretty much all the parts (many of a high-spec, which i was very lucky to get at minimum if not no cost) to finish the project, I will never get chance or be able to afford to do this again. I want to do it once, and properly, and then potentially enjoy it...

Its been a while since i updated this thread, summer has pretty much come and gone, and i now have a garage...wahhayyy. I am pretty pleased with it, its a decent size and it has left us with a surprisingly large amount of space still in the garden. Some pics of the build below: The...

i have only just seen your reply (that is how long i have not been on the forum), the garage has come along really well, i will try and update my thread tomorrow with it. Not much more to do now, just finish painting the floor, then electrics, i will then insulate/board it next year i think (and...

A message for the owner of the black 182 (black turinis) that was following me from Northampton to Milton Keynes via salcy forest/hanslope earlier this evening. 1. I can see you in the early evening without the need for your xenons. 2. You don't need to accelerate up behind me then back off...

this is beginning to sound like my thread, ha. glad it will get there.

Thought i'd pop this in here as a fair few people don't go in the projects section. It turns out that our new next door neighbour is an engineer specialising in aluminium products for motorsport, working with a lot of F1 teams machining products such as brackets but also producing heads and...

and the nice surprise, well our new neighbours. It turns out that our next door neighbour is an engineer specialising in aluminium products for motorsport, working with a lot of F1 teams machining products such as brackets but also producing heads and forged/flowed stuff. He also decent...

Chin up tony, just do what you can do, don't scrap anything if you don't have to, theres always options

UPDATE: so in a thread that seems to have turned more into a house project instead (and seems to be moving quicker on that basis) more has been done. as mentioned in the previous post more progress was indeed made over the following weekends and i am stoked with how its going. first up more...

As planned, the building of the garage has started. Pretty excited to say the least. We have gone from a gravelled area with a couple raised beds (with potatoes in), to a gravel area that we could park on. (that was pretty useful) but now we have cleared the gravel and started excavating...

Hi chap, can you tell me who built/fitted your cage. or what cage it is. Cheers Neil

So a little surprise/treat... I managed to pick up this bits and bobs. After selling my original engine loom to Silent_scone (a loom that was a hybrid of original renault and TDF throttle body additions) i needed a loom. A long time ago i trimmed back my original renault loom to what i...

indeed.... guess who else almost bought it

Holy sh*t, i totally forgot you still owned your mrk1 @Daniel, fair play, i am think by the time i finish mine i will be about the right age to hillclimb it (approx 40) grey/white hair a tow vehicle etc etc

So as mentioned previously about the car having to go on hold again, has happened. There is no way i can pay the mortgage, save up a decent amount monthly (for a garage) and pay to store it. I am not sure my missus 100% agrees with the build but i think she is 95% there, even with that in mind...

I know there are people in the same position or worse than me. its weird the journey it can take you on, sometimes a real push forward and loads of positivity can be really closely followed by a downer and wanting to sell all and give up, but i think i have now decided i am in this for the long...

I had spotted the car cover in the for sale section and am speaking to him currently. cheers chaps. The engine and gearbox are totally mint/clean and painted now, hence the protection. your naturally messy @Daniel its because your ginger

you miss me
