So this heap of poo what colour is it going to go? Indigo Blue, Cherry Red suggestions? keep it sell it? bodies it up? fuck nos

check straps for both doors, new windscreen, new flywheel and clutch, ax gt front arb and wishbones, new seats - ordered

new beam & engine enquiries being made

plans get the above done and on the road by end of august

fuck me! lots of pics!!

i must have missed the updates, turbo gav, it needs a turbo, and painted the same colour as martin's best colour for these imo

Cant wait to peep this later on!

aye indeed you missed lots lol no boost i'm just going to use what I have left over to build this now haha

you'll be disappointed at this stage as its pretty much a shed lol

anyway plan go to garage on thursday jet wash the bay clean kurust anything that looks nasty then at least primer it. Next week will be wishbones, arb and balljoint swapage, fit that new cv boot then thats it until some bits show then engine, box and shafts can all go back in.

Big rad and coolant hoses can then be fitted just case of waiting for bodies to come back, saxo dash going in, interior getting gutted some vtr seats being put in

Everything starts somewhere mate!
Im in it for the progress :cool:

since I've near sold the 1.1 some work on this going up tomorrow to clean the engine bay down kurust everything I need to. Then it will be on to gut the interior then prep the engine ready for being fitted next week, which is when the cv boot, arb and wishbones will be done aswell.

Other stuff will be done from aforementioned posts over next few weeks to

Engine as in the manly 16v engine? Nice to see some progress :p Can't wait to see it done!

Did some bits today alternator on, oil filter conversion done & top hose in place



going back up tuesday thats when arb, wishbones, balljoints, cv boot will be done first then will get the slam panel cut for the bigger radiator then engine and box will be going in along with all new coolant hoses provided clutch & flywheel show up over weekend.

That will be bulk of work done so will then proceed on to gutting the interior getting the back lowered, gti brakes getting fitted, rust getting welded up, windscreen getting replaced plus all the other usual small odds and ends before the bodies come back from their holiday get fitted motd tax trip to chip wizards for remap then enjoy

The Key Question is though... will it be at Trax?

when is trax? was aiming to for fcs 2036 in competition with AndyK you see ;)

Thought Andy was 2037? :p

Trax is Sunday 4th September iirc

we will see I don't think this will be on road till august anyway properly plus first time I drive it properly prob won't be till october demon tweeks meet

lol :homme:

Gav are you going to sort ot all that rust first?? I quite fancy a 16v ax my self... Do you think you will get it finished faster than one of Andy / my projects??

ooo so close lol

aye big yin the rust in the rear is all being sorted over summer prob august sometime, tbh as I said below tuesday going to fit the arb, wishbones new balljoints once thats done provided flywheel, clutch show over weekend engine and box are going in along with coolant hoses and rad, probably fit manifold and exhaust system aswell.

Sounds like a bulk of the work is done but then as said big stuff towards the end like welding, windscreen and lowering in august time, I think everything may be ready end of august/september mebbe?

Nice one mate sounds like a good plan you have there. You doing the cutting and welding your self??

naaww man leave the welding to the garage mate of mine, I'm going to do the rest mind cut it rust treat it weld in primer/seal it paint :) there isn't an over large amount of things to do but planing it so do all the cheap jobs first then august september get the big pain in the arse stuff done. I'll see how this goes once it's all done for a few months if I actually bond with it otherwise it will be for sale and some sort of boost machine built again
