Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project yeah sure!

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Day 31 Decided to take a trip upto the garage this morning, to get the car tracked, seeing as everything seemed to be running fine. Got the car up on the ramps, and ended up finding out that the track rod ends would not wind out far enough for it to be tracked correctly...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Day 28 Today the subframe had to come off, so the first job was to detach anything that was currently keeping it onto the car. First of all was the dogbone mount, then the steering column. As previously mentioned a couple of weeks ago, the steering had alot of play in...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Day 23 Had a few more parcels arrive today, the main one being from K-Tec which contained two sets of Powerflex bushes. I bought a 172 Wishbone bush set, as im running 172 wishbones, and a Williams ARB bush set, as im running a Williams anti roll bar. They were £110...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Day 20 The two Goodyear Eagle F1’s that I had been waiting for arrived today, so I had them fitted to the wheels. I originally was going to get the damaged wheel repaired, and then them all powder coated, but I thought il leave it for now and just give them a DIY spray...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Day 16 After stripping the wings and bumper off to clean and treat the surface rust yesterday, then paint, I had left the parts off overnight for the paint to dry. I only managed to get the outer wings protected and painted, Ive still got to do the front/slam panel...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Day 13 A nice parcel arrived for me today in the post, a BB Tuning de-cat. The good thing about this decat is it can be used on both Valver and Williams manifolds. The two parts of the de-cat can be twised to change the direction of the flange on the end. A Valver...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Day 7 Set about removing the whole dash from the car today, as its staying mostly out anyway, but I mainly wanted to get all the sound deadening out thats on the bulkhead. Spent a good few hours trying to remove it carefully, but it just wasnt happening, it seemed...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Day 4 As I needed a new wing, due to the other one being un-repairable, I went and picked up a pair from Winston. They have no cracks, and are perfect for being resprayed, which will eventually happen as the door needs doing also! I also picked up a spare steering...

As quite a few of you know, I got rid of my MK2 quite a while ago now, and havent been around much on the forum since. The new project is why, and ive decided to start a project thread now ive got some way into it. From the title, you obviously know its a MK1... I wanted something a bit more...
