Nice work as always Lewis.

Your Quickshift looks different to mine, is yours the Compbrake item?

I'm liking the countersunk bolts in the quickshift
does that mean some dermel action occuring on the old studs and a drill going through??

Was considering doing the countersunk bolts thing...may do it down the line but i've fitted it as is for now!

Few more updates today - I managed to get some pics of all the bits i've been doing. Also feeling a bit pissed off as I seem to be finding leaks everywhere...bloody passenger driveshaft seal is leaking oil, I appear to have a leak on the caliper - or at least I noticed a drip of brake fluid on the bottom of one so wiped it clean to see if it appears again. I also saw another big drop of oil on the bottom of the gearbox, so I hope to god that's not leaking or it'll be back to pug1off for them to fix properly! As well as this, my sump is still leaking so the twats that welded it in the first place obviously didn't do it properly. And finally some of the brake lines inside the car appear to be leaking, or 'sweating' from the joins where the fittings go into the T piece on the back bench. These were meant to be fitted by an 'expert' so i'm not happy about that! If you want anything done properly you have to do it yourself. So as well as the exhaust, I have this long list of shit to sort out....so I am feeling pissed off but never mind...

Anyway, rant over, here are the constructive pics of today. I had to remove the inner arches too as they were catching the tyres on full lock now it is lower. It's only by doing this that I noticed all these damn leaks!

Also got some more carbon bits, and another piece for where Bob removed the wiring from the rear.

Pics:

Before:



After:



No Wiring in the rear now:



Swapped the hose clamps with silver throughout:







Black Quickshift:





Carbon Speaker Hole Covers:













New Faulkner Springs and arch liners removed:









Big (Leaky ass) Brakes:



Interior:




That's all for now. I am feeling a bit gutted i've had so many bloody problems, it's like i'm jinxed. I'm going to go through the whole car myself I think and sort all the shit out. Obviously Bob's work is all mint, this is all stuff that's out of our control....still, they send these things to test us right?

It's too clean to drive. Going to have to get a large perspex box for it and pack it away forever...

Agree with jp on that one, the arch liners help protect the inner chassis from road shite and future rust problems.

A lot of cars with rust under the Ecu/fusebox will have had the arch liners removed at some point

thanks lads. Yea gutting about the probs but need to keep positive - i'll get it sorted!


Few more updates today. Did a couple of small jobs and fitted my pug sport stud conversion on the rear, along with some 5mm Eibach spacers so it's matching the front in terms of track etc. I also ground off another little lip in the bay on the scuttle and painted it up. Did want to make a start re-doing the brake lines but I didn't get around to that. It's only leaking one side inside the cabin but probably just gonna redo the whole lot (internally) with Earls fittings just to be sure!

Here are the pics anyway.

Stud conversion:


















'Tyre poke':



Some general engine and car snaps:
























Removal of lip on scuttle - I still have to do the other one too. If I decide to use a wiper motor cover I have a cunning plan to avoid the requirement of this unsightly lip!



GONE and painted:













I also removed the pikey sticker off the wiper motor but didn't get any pics of that. The bay is starting to look really tidy now. She's getting there at last!

Thanks

Lewis

Looks very tidy!

What are you doing about painting the removed bonnet stand / fuse box brackets mate?

Couple of questions for you regarding front suspension setup:

What spring length and lb rates are you using? and what ID are they?

Do you have any problems with the spring pan which seperates the 2 springs hitting the damper retaining collar?

Having issues with mine at the moment.

LoL at the "lip"

Looks like the rear wheels stick out too much. You'll be screwed as soon as you hit a bump.
