The car is now running after being sat on axle stands for a month.
Engines got a few niggles i want to sort out. The biggest being the missfire its developed, which i have got it down to the Coil Pack and leads, unsure which so might just replace both.
Heres a few pics of how the cars sitting lowered around 50mm on the front and standard rear (For now)
Lack of foggage.......poor pic though
And also my TRS 3 point harnesses arrived today

I trial fitted one of the bucket seats yesterday. Wasn't strapped down properly as i will be having it out again to strip the interior etc.
Found 6p under the old seat.........which is a bonus!

Oh yea, snips are my number one tool at the moment. So far i have chopped:
Rear speaker wires
luggage comp light
wiper motor
central locking
decided to keep the rear demister. Working my way forward to chopping out sterio wires etc

Hell yea!! I had to hide it all in the shed before the old man came home. The carpet and sound deadening seem to weigh the most.

Cheers Josh! Might as well do it properly first time round. Got until next year to shed as much weight as possible. Whats the plan with your xsi?

Oh yea! Weight loss is fun. Making sure i get it spot on first time round. Unsure if the dash will get some choppage but might be going back in for now.
Have had a quick gander at the OMP cages need one after removing the headlining. The roof skin was flexing like a weight trainer on the roids!!

Well since i last updated i have done a few more bits and bobs:
Removed all the wiring i didn't need behind the dash:
Which left me with this:
I got the dash back in and fitted both bucket seats back in:
I removed the tarmatting from the footwells:
VTS feeling left out of all the action:
Decided i need to drop the torsion bars:
Token hovering car pic before i got bored and came in:
