Re: Mk1 Hybrid rebuild

You've basically rebuilt/resprayed that entire car in the time it would take daniel to change a wheel on his !

Looks ace though :D

Re: Mk1 Hybrid rebuild

lol

Its getting there. Danny can now fit a mint Ph1 interior he purchased ages ago! until he gets some buckets, fit the cage and spray the interior. I still need to spray all the black plastics... black!? so they look brand new. I also chipped the edge of the drivers door and front wing when fitting the door so need to touch that up, n00b error!

wing mirror caps have been sprayed too. We werent ment to spray the spoiler but it was lying around and I accidently sprayed it so that needs spraying black. Downpipe for the supersprint needs fitting and the bent gear selector needs changing too.

Engine is all in but the drive shafts arent connected yet and neither is the cooling system. Car looks brand new in the flesh! after a flat and polish it will look AMAGAD!

Re: Mk1 Hybrid rebuild

Yeah Dannys on about getting some amphasite 2118's from the group buy atm. Its currently on Williams front track and standard willy dampers, cant remember what rear dampers hes got. I have mentioned to Danny about fitting 182 cup front hubs and wishbones... so he could 'borrow' my Sachs for a track day etc but we're concerntrating on getting the shell water tight and finished first.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid rebuild

not much point going to 182 cup hubs as the coilover options are limited really. 172 front track would be better really for better options.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid rebuild

Quickly fitted the loom in the dark last night, managed to demolish the hazard switch in the process, back light on the aux dials wasnt working so will need to check that and then fused the front fogs which in turn knocked out all the interior lights... best get the multi meter out, other than that... all ok

Little bit of touch up needed on the section near the plate recess as some of the paint bled through the tape (Asda masking tape is shite!)

Also pictures is my new floor in the garage, half way through laying.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid rebuild

Cheers dude. I went with 4mm.
I am going to fit my DIY polycarb sunroof tomorrow. Ill post some pictures of it up if I get it sorted.

I have been speaking to nathanh about trackdays. I think i'm going to do Rockingham in June and Angelsey in July. What about you?
 
Re: Mk1 Hybrid rebuild

Cool, think mine are 4mm too - as far as I know they were from P4P originally

Im booking the June Rockingham (14th) this week, then got Cadwell on the 7th July and a dirt cheap Mallory Park on a weekend in August with RTOC...few others inbetween too probably :)
