I remember stripping mine
I will be removing all the interior and dash, both doors and boot lid.
Bonnet will also need to come off, front and rear bumpers, engine and gearbox, both wishbones, and rear axle.
May aswell send it off for an acid dip and seam weld if your doing all that and save another 30kg's No but seriously I love the plans you have should be a cracker when complete!

I would love to if I had the money!
I hope to do my first track day in it this summer, albeit it will be late summer
I was exactly the same but its damned expensive when you work out the total costs! Sounds good I will look forward to chatting about it at Brands
Yeah it is and the time for stripping all the minuet details you don't even think about!
Sort of yeah.... need to find some time to get all the CSCC stickers on the car along with a few others like race numbers etc, CV boot needs replacing, check that the PAS still works and a general prep before the race so going to drop it off at TDF end of April and then meet them at Brands for the race. Also need to try and find some way of scrubbing the new set of tyres in prior to the first race

Sounds good
Not too much to do but usually its always the small details and fiddly things that take the time. I had the big clip come off my CV boot the other day. What a pain cleaning all the grease up! Took an hour in just cleaning as I had to remove the disk and whip the pads out as it had gone everywhere!
Yes exactly It really is mine seemed to bake on at Brands and was a total pain to shift! Ended up just using brake cleaner and lots of it.

Well, todays progress was very small. 1 door card off and the bonnet, all thanks to Dan:rasp:
Although I cannot believe that a single door card and speaker weighs 4.5 kgs! Steel bonnet was 12.6kgs which will be replaced by an alloy bonnet that I will have by the end of the week, that weighs 5kgs.
Was discussing with Dan today interior colours. Really not sure what to go for, atm I am maybe thinking either white (as I posted earlier) or maybe the grey found in some of the old cup racers. Like this:
Does anyone know what code/colour this is?

That grey would look awsome on the inside, or maybe a shade lighter!
Sorry for holding up progress

Ahhh we made progress in other areas/car
I might get carried away and do the whole thing!

Go for grey, in my experience i'd stay away from white, gets dirty very easy lol.
ph1 172
Does your interior get dirty quickly then? And does it end up too bright inside in bright sunlight?
Trafic 140dci
The sun doesn't reflect on it, but it get's dirty lol.
ph1 172
Hmmm......
What do you think of this colour then?
Courtesy of Ian Speedy, I love your car Ian
Matt suggested for me to go with a very similar colour to that on the inside but I stupidly didn't listen and kind of regret it as it would of kept it looking nice for longer! Mine is already looking a bit tired and really needs keeping on top of. I did have that paint code for the mk2 racers but I have just looked and can't find it! I will keep looking through my emails and try find it

My thinking is if I try and do the interior a colour that maybe in the near future I can spray the exterior the same colour.
I like the metallic grey
Trafic 140dci
That colour looks spot on!
I can't find it anywhere I will look on my work PC later, if not then i'm sure I can find it out for you but would take a couple of weeks
Sounds like a plan to me!
Sounds like a plan to me!
I think you should paint it onces the cage is in and before you re-assemble it. Might aswell do it whilst the engines out, makes sense!
Also that colour is so nice!
Also that colour is so nice!
Order enough to spray my car too

5 litres will be more than enough mate! You are welcome to have your interior done too if you want it?
I will be doing it, it's a tedious job but spend a little time and pride on it and it will look very good.
ph1 172
I know this is going to be awesome as I know what your like Rhys!
If you need any help sheering bolts just give me a shout. More than happy to pop over at anytime
Lol @ sheering bolts!
I am busy tomorrow night but Wednesday will be serious strippage day
Doors, boot lid, windows, the lot
ph1 172
Update time
Finally pulled my finger out/got time to get abit more done to the interior. For a 12 year old car, I cannot believe that every bolt (so far) has come undone with ease:approve:
Couple of typical iphone photos.........don't own a decent camera unfortunately, and even if I did I wouldn't know how to use it

Couple of bits that I weighed as I removed them......all feels very satisfying
-Front seats 22kgs each
-Rear quarter window 2.8kgs
-Passenger door with card 30.5kgs and drivers side with card 32kgs
-Steel bonnet 12.6kgs
PITA to remove the rear window, and I have the other side and windscreen to do yet!

Been busy then, done well to undo all bolts with no problems... Must say it looks a clean car for the age, almost a shame for it to turn into a track sl*g lol.
ph1 172
I have removed everything really carefully so nothing is broken. Looking back at the car does make it seem a shame but its worth nothing, its what I bought it for and exactly what I wanted being completely standard.
Got a lot of electrics to sort out yet, and have no idea what I am doing! lol
