[Nickharding]

Get another one

Were did it go?

Looks mint too...

 

[Kerryclio]

Where is it?

Thought you were doing one or something :S

 

[Bodge!]

Angel eyes?

 

[Bluebeard]

I've still got it. But it looks a little worse for wear. Nearly finished, but a 6 week job has taken nearly a year.

Hold on i'll find a pic.

Here we go.

Pics

 

[maynard]

looks pretty good, try and get it back that way!

 

[theduck]

Pics required!

EDIT: F4R conversion??

 

[Bluebeard]

looks pretty good, try and get it back that way!

Oh it will. Bar the wheels and the angel eyes.

 

[Budgie]

Apart from the headlights, it looked gorgeous.

I'm sure it'll be back to it's best soon. Or, I hope, rather.

 

[Paul.M]

You'll get there eventually

did look cracking though

 

[Bluebeard]

I'm a bit annoyed at myself tbh.

The only reason I changed the wheels and the engine was because it wasn't my car. It was all modified by the previous owner and it just felt like I was driving around in his car. Wish i'd just kept it as it was.

When you finish it, you will love it again, even more than before

 

[maynard]

[Jason_E]

When your finished you will have something that you will be proud of Keep at it and you will end up with a sexy as fook car!

 

[Leeshez]

Looks good

 

[Rob]

Will be 100% worth it when you've finished, my interior conversion has almost made me want to kill a man, but just got it sorted and I will have moveable windows by saturday I feel like I love my car already.

 

[Guppy]

Keep at it, Dan!

Will be a weapon once finished!

 

[Bluebeard]

Only one way to find that out Guppy, see you in the Black mountains!!

(*edit, go easy on me!!)

 

[f0xy]

I'll bring the van, its more reliable....

 

[f0xy]

haha.

Ive had quite alot of trouble free miles now, especially being used every day. once you get it right they are 100% reliable!

 

[Bluebeard]

I'm sure it will be. Got the top man on the job!

Unfortunately i've been flat out at work, ill, or skint. My mechanic was on holiday for 3 weeks, then his mrs had a kid so he was out for another 2 weeks...... Just loads of bad luck on the labour front. Mechanically we've been 100% aggro free. (Mainly thanks to you and Chris!!)

 

[f0xy]

You'l get there, quite a few of them popping up now, the wiring guide I wrote has been getting requested left right and center!

Trouble free conversion if you have all the stuff now though, all the bugs ironed out

 

[Bluebeard]

How many now do you think?

Matteh, whitely, Andyrg, You, Me (ish), geesus69, beanimoo.....

There any on c16ver?

 

[f0xy]

I could literally name 10 more that are 'in process', if not more!

erm... willy lover, benjl, lewisc87...list goes on lol.

 

[Bluebeard]

Wow...

Well, when they're all done, you will be in charge of organising the mk1 F4R meet!

 

[R20 CWH]

keep at it, will be superb when done.

 

[172Ben]

Looks mint.

Wanna sell it?

 

[Bluebeard]

Looks mint.

Wanna sell it?

It will never be for sale. Once the engines done, i'll run it for 6 months then i'm going to completely do the bodywork. New inner/outer sills, 2 new rear quarters etc etc.

By that time (12m time hopefully) I will have a large payout coming and I plan on using part of that for supercharging/turbo/ITB's.

I want to keep it forever and ever!!

 

[172Ben]

Fair play I'll keep looking

 

[DannoTheGreat]

looked stunnin, hope you get it sorted buddy.

 

[JonniP]

looking very nice! anymore updates?

 

[Mike_182]

Don't be daft. It takes him 12 months to do anything to this car!

 

[JonniP]

lol.

 

[chrispy.clio]

I've actually seen this car working , Shock horror!!!

It is mint, and it will be even minter when its all finished

 

[Bluebeard]

I think that was the last time I drove it!!!

 

[Whiteley]

Wait, wut? You have a Mk1?? :sleepy:

 

[chrispy.clio]

I think that was the last time I drove it!!!

You mean you brought it out one last time so i could see it.

I'm touched lol

 

[Bluebeard]

Wait, wut? You have a Mk1?? :sleepy:

I'm getting Fred on the case I think. Just bite the bullet, pay someone and get it finished. Fed up of looking at it now.
