Switches are a W.I.P need to get a small sheet of carbon fibre ordered so that i can properly mount the switches into the centre console

[Adum]

what are the switches for?

[Noddy]

Rad-fan override. The one that is under the cover is for when the engine is not running and the one tucked back is for when the engine is running

but as said, they're only placed there as a temporary measure until I've got the new centre console finished and carbon fibre sheet ordered

[saxomark]

Looks good mate, the cobra daytones always look nice !, just remove the front seatbelts though...

Are you going to remove rear bench and strip the back?

Mark

[Noddy]

nope, the front seatbelts are staying as i have people in the back every now and again (reason for me selling harnesses) To allow for that, i'm getting dual release harnesses. When somebody is then in the back, I can release the rear of the harness and use the seatbelt instead

[Noddy]

choices, choices. Right I need to get the new harnesses ordered, but i'm debating between black or blue. I'm leaning towards blue as the interior is all blacks & greys....

thoughts? - need to get these ordered asap...

[Sneakydevil89]

nice looking buckets there, suit the car pretty well id say.

looking good mate! love the new seats

[Noddy]

Updates will be re-commencing in the near future, due to work commitments for the last year or so i havn't really been able to do anything to the car tbh.

ooo nice sax bud

UPDATE:

Picked up some bargain VTS struts at the yard today. Complete with Spax VSX dampers and Eibach -45mm springs. Calipers are also yellow (although they do need some attention).

As it turns out they're off EU52. They do need some work though as the O/S spring is unseated and sratched and the dust cover and bump stop on the N/S damper has been cut through. Apart from that they're in good nick as expected from EU52.

So the to-do list for them is:

Strip right down
Paint Struts with hammerite
Get new dust cover and bump stop from spax
Repiant claipers
possible new hub bearings whilst they're in bits
new mintex discs and pads (already have these)
possibly get springs powdercoated yellow (can this be done?)
Braided hoses - either Goodridge or Exact from Kam
rebuilt and fit.

[wigansaxo]

cars looking good, i wouldnt think you could powder coat the calipers because of the rubber bits on the pistons, still got loads of posi blue bits off my old 1.1 saxo lol

[Noddy]

I'm painting the calipers by hand, its the springs i'm hoping to powdercoat. The car looks ok in the pics, but by the time FCS comes about it should look miles better.

[phil_live]

looks good mate

[Mcinabout]

Cars looking real good mate Nice find on the Suspension too, with a bit of tlc they should come up nice.

[wigansaxo]

ahh yea i didnt read it proper lol, cant see a problem with getting thesprings done
