see i would do this....but i would be fucked getting all those wires back in the right places...

Take plenty of pictures before you start ;)

Really like the cage in this. Decided on the future plans engine wise?

Paint it and leave it out :p the carpet has a good amount of weight!!!

He has plenty of power to make up for it. ;)

kEEP THE CARPET. lol

Carpet is definitely staying :D Its not like id notice the 3kg id save by leaving the carpet out anyway! May replace it with lightweight carpet some point in the future though :)

Depends how things go with my visa and how things go work wise once im back out in oz tbh (if i get the visa). Either full rebuild with over 200+ bhp NA, or lob a new sandy head with 734 cams in onto my bottom end and aim for 190/195bhp NA

Sounds good :y:

I am up there on sunday mate so i can pop it over then if you like then I will need it back the same do so maybe do it sunday morning and leave to dry?

get that top lot of sound deadening out :D
remember if you do need a hand refitting im always here :D

Tom - mrs gets here from Fiji on Sunday morning so not a good day really mate, could you leave it with me until your next round lauras and pick it up then?

I can bring it next Thursday evening and get it back on Sunday ?

mango mango man who wants be a tanned mango man :D

Lol, I'm not joking, I've just come inside 11:30pm, from finishing working on the car!

Perfect Tom, gives me a perfect excuse to take my time at spraying the interior and cutting the dash etc and any other bits and bobs I can do before fitting the carpet :) drop me a message on weds to remind me :)

looks sweet mate, having a bash at the sraying your self then? what spray gun have you got? also a little thing might be worth as your props doing it on the drive? add some rocket to the clear coat speeds up dry time

Okie dokie cheers for the tip mate, should dry pretty quick as it's going to be mid 20's here tomorrow :)

Car is pretty much ready for spraying tomorrow...





And all sanded down as well...

well more the touch dry time, so even with it been 20c.. and tbh minimum u shud spray in is 23c and then bake it at 65c... its pretty chill as far as painting go's lol. get some pics up once its done though.... one other thing might help you, if u have an old car rad fan stick it on a battery charger and place it near the car and shud suck all the misty shit away stop u choking.

Just noticed youve got the same cage as me!! i also want to have the rear 'X' bars as they dont come with the cage, where did you get the steel and does it have to be the same chromology stuff as the cage?????? cheers

Yeah the additions are all in chromoly as well mate. The guy who did my cage (Matt Newton) got it for me :)

Latest pics, taken me all day to mask off the cage, roof, doors, windows and front of the car, what a bitch!

masking paper, 18inch roll 6quid or 36inch roll 12quid ;)

looks sweet though mate, when he did the welding for u, did he tig or mig weld it? looks mig?
