Welcome, nice collection

Caliper pistons removed for checking seals and cleaning/painting Rack cleaned and painted. Need to remove rods and rod ends to hopefully fit mk2 stuff And hubs cleaned up and painted ready for new bearings

i'll use that technique next time @Eddie555, top tip :)

took a bit of cramming get it all into the dash behind the stereo itself, not a lot of room for cable routing!

@Old Tarby! Even got the steering wheel stalk working to recently, although job wheel for change track doesn't want to play ball. considering getting a Sony 6 disc changer and swapping under seat unit too so i can have the changer function but upgraded too :)

inners are a pain on axle stands and with subframe on tight. i'd just get garage do it. outers are as you say, easy and yeah mindisc matey, for that period correct early 2000's upgrade, lol!

progress! miiint! commuted in mine again today, black grape blaring out from the minidisc, love a phase 1

Set of silicone hoses acquired for bargain price, so they'll get a good scrub up when they land

why waste good beer on wiping paint down @dann2707 :unsure:

I did the pretty stuff, 11 years ago now think it was, and at that time sills were solid enough and jacking points were still there.... now they're not. Plus storing outside undercover has not been kind to the roof.

Finally sourced, dismantled, refurbished and refitted the radiator support brackets this weekend on the oddy. Cheers Ben

Standard engine for now, full interior and few nice goodies, get it running then welding and bodywork Knowsit, mega cool ain't they

And brake servo cleaned up and painted with new master cylinder

After sifting through all that lot I've found most of the bits I need, then I delved into the sheds to get the shiny bits for the front end build. Powdercoated subframe with 172 arms and arb (not in pic), powerflex purple bushes all round FK coilovers ACS roll correction kit 172 Hubs...

Right, time to start this one again. Unpacked the shell for first time in 5 years, inventoried everything and reorganised into stuff I need and stuff that's not currently required. Dug out the front suspension stuff almost in it's entirety and will make a list of stuff I need to complete the...

That would be one pissed off Aladdin

Unpacked the second mk1 to see what was in it after accumulating crap for 5 years.

Mines totally ruined there, easy fix though, that little plastic door you opened to find the issue? Yeah that shuts right up again 😋

As far as I'm aware no difference in fitment, my powerlite fitted the odyssey terminals I already had as I moved from same one as you. Mines in stock location however but I would suspect cable length wouldn't really affect it. The powerlite cranks harder than the odyssey ime despite weighing...

I've just got the Neilson ones, seem well made and will put them to use removing front bumper tomorrow

I'll post results in here tomorrow hopefully chap and you'll be able see how well my cunning plan has worked!

Sorted some anchor points for the washer blanks, hoping I can use the backing plates off the originals to get angle right but we'll see when I take it apart tomorrow to fit. For now, quick drying araldite to the rescue once more! Ready for glue Stuck And set and solid Cheers Ben

Thanks for the kind comments, I try to keep on top of jobs and once I get the arch seen to and front end suspension refresh this year and belts again next spring she'll be sorted for few more years. However no plans to sell currently no

Only 10.5? Rod's fwd only 5 did a 9 with less power, I'd of expected 750 awd to be well into 9's

The H&R are still doing me proud and I have the Oddy for my B14 fix if required so I'll cope! lol! Saw them on a family catch up zoom meeting last week anyway, so I know they're safe tucked up in my cousin's garage :)

oh just noticed @Dr Jekyll I can't actually fit or refit coilovers, My B14's for it are still up n Scotland, awaiting all this to blow over before I can get them!

only just caught up on this, needs 2118 update ;-) I'm not a fan of the silver on RB, i always think darker wheels or bright white complement the colour more. However gloss black is also a no no from me, it's just too much. If anything go dark grey, BMW sparkling graphite grey is my grey of...
