Looks like its going to be a beast mate!
BTB looks really good.

Will be like a new car matt :p

It already is like a new car isn't it? LOL.

I wonder if anything still exists on that from when you bought it apart from dash and engine.

looking wicked mate cant wait to see how it turns out

you didnt tell me that you had purchased some new parts. looks good though. going the same way as josh with it i see.lol

cars looking mint mate

Very tidy parts u'v chosen well :y:

How much was the BTB manifold and alu radiator?

How much is heat wrap anyone as i need some?

BTB i picked up for £190 inc wrap etc

Aluminium Radiator cost £50 (assuming thats some kind of trade price that Josh got for me)

And the sunroof....thats about it lol...

:)

Sell me your fan ;) P.s video on my thread for you mate :) And those pics of the car rammed with wheels and tyres :D Haha :)

Not much left whatsoever now, but it will be all worth it at the end.

Not much.... Loads to do yet dude!

its coming along well mate, like the manifold - it looks mint. cant wait to see the car finished;)

Bought myself a pair of these of Belly_VTS (thankyou) Didnt really need them apparently but i thought what the hell i may aswel



Next update should come soon as Josh is ordering me the following so i can begin to crack on with the engine itself:

Head Gasket Kit
Head Bolts
Thrust Washers
Big ends and little ends (wtf are they?)
Piston rings
bottom end seal kit
cambelt kit

Getting a nice collection of parts here Matt.

List is coming along nicely matt. in for Trax????

Doubtful, i think im just going to take my time on the engine itself over summer and enjoy the car and then when the show seasons over and the poor weather returns then the Saxo will be garaged and undergoing work.

Ill have the engine finished fairly quick but in terms of fitting it ill probably wait until end of the year-reason being:

Tax runs out 30th November and Insurance renews 4th December so ill get my extra No claims then, cancel insurance and declare it SORN

Then ill run a cheap car for a few months and have the Saxo back on the road by March when ill have an extra years age and years driving experience behind me so that my insurance wont be too drastic when it all restarts.

Its costing alot of money so its not a project i can afford to rush through, nor do i want to feel pressured by time limits to an extent :)

Itll be well worth the wait

Very good plan Matt, least it will be all sorted for next years show season.

Can't you just use your Mum/Dads car for the few months that yours will be off road?

Yep well in time for next years show season :) I probably could use parents cars a bit and the Mrs didnt mind driving me much whilst i was having the respray done.

It depends a bit on the job situation, if ive got into the Police force by then ill be on my training which ill need to travel 40 miles a day round trip. but if im still in the same job its not too bad walking or biking.

some nice parts you have there sound be a beast when its done
