RIP CAMMED VTS...... New project ...MERCEDES C-CLASS SPORT :D :D

[coffs_vtr]

alright mate, how does the car run on the ph3's then?

[one_nation04]

really like this mate, havent come accross it before! couple of questions lol...did the 106 dash go in straight fit? also how did all the connectors fit? and where did you get your black headlining from, have been after some for aggesss now lol

[TIPSY]

black headlining is just painted, 106 dash was fairly straight forward to fit, most of it was plug and play, you do need to change matrix unit, steering column supports etc but isnt too hard.

fitted a few bits this week, carbon door cards, found a mirror switch handle, smoothed interior mirror covers, fitted my 106 mirrors, carbon sparco gear knob, painted the 106 center console gloss black, smoothed boot handle and boot pop,, smoothed out the pug dash badge and fitting a pedo bear sticker, also changed the heater matrix for a nissens one, started to chequer the roof and chequered under the skuttle panel. just need to get the headgasket done now, fit the nissens rad, and red spoox hoses.

Looks spot on that sunshine.

[TIPSY]

also fitted window switches in the 106 ashtray to neaten things up a bit and my omp corsica with red stitching arrived today, eventually. , heres a couple more pics anyway.

[raunchz]

like the chequer in the scuttle area, suits your car !! Sounds like the engine is getting a good overhaul !! Should run nice when done !

[saxo_ron]

Elements of our cars are very similar tipsy, yours is tidier though

Needless to say im loving it

[TIPSY]

i just wish it was back on the road now m8, spotted you about quite a bit latley. whats with you keeping it clean all of a sudden. lol looks much better with white wheels instead of brake dust coloured

[saxo_ron]

the missus was away this weekend and I had some time, wash, polish, red mist and the very cheapest of wheel cleaner I could find.

Wont be long tipsy im sure, looks cracking. Even think we have the same mats lol (ebay spesh's?)

[Jimmy-Boy]

how you do the black roof lining, loving the old rocker cover with the chequered bit! loving the new chequred touches aswell as its not over done!! morretes nad the front end looks mean as F@@k!! how have i not come across this thread before?!?!?! how hard was fitting the dash and how long it take roughly? it looks immense

[TIPSY]

only took me about 25 mins to get old dash out and new dash in but ive done a few so thats pretty quick. headlinign is just sprayed m8, using black enamel paint. gunna take it out and retrim it though to neaten it up a bit.

yer ron, there ebay specials

[TIPSY]

steering wheel is in, going to take a bit getting used to, got it in the ltd edition red stitching with 85mm dish.






also ordered a few flocked bits and peices, mirror trim, center console, door handle surrounds. and trying to decide on, red cage with criss cross door bars and black team dynamics 1.2's or white cage with white compomtive 5 spokes????


hopefully going to get a few bits done on the vtr this weekend too so will start a progress thread for that soon.

[TIPSY]

its now booked in at manic on the 6th of jan to get, headgasket done, nissens rad fitted, spoox coolant and matrix hoses fitted, group n gearbox mount, group n linkages and getting the bm quickshift fitted instead of my compbrake one, goin to get round to fitting my flocked bits soon after and respraying bumpstrips in satin black.

[saxo_ron]

You won't look like a pleb driving round the roads with them on...

Also nice work Tipsy wipsy.

[TIPSY]

finished the chequers on the roof, unsure if i like them but it took too long for me to just peel them off now without other peoples opinions, also fitted the headunit blank, ariel blank is in. carbon sparco gear knob is now on, removing the quickshift and just fitting a bm linkage instead, neatend up my window switches mounted in ashtray, and started making a fiberglass version with my button in for launch control, an extra switch and my window switches. coming along quite nice but the weather is slowing things down.

also made a little custom pedo bear vts badge to replace the pug dash badge, havent got pictures of that yet but i like it. lol

[richy_t_123]

looking good tipsy mate..... when you think you will have it back on the road now then??

[TIPSY]
