That's coming along nicely , looks spot on so far

Don't suppose that one your breaking has decent condition boot liners ???? ;0). ?

 

it did have , but its now gone to my mate sorry

 

group A roof vents fitted , will be painted when the rest of the car gets done and then grills will be fitted

massive thanks to gussy for his inspiration and guide to fitting as it really helped thanks mate

 

Nice job
how'd you get on fitting a restrictor to the top entry turbo?
​​​

 

haven't done it yet lol ,, still waiting on my mate to paint it for me as I want the whole outside redone so it doesn't look patchy

ill update the thread once a bit more has been done

 

Not a problem Dom glad I could help, its bad enough putting 1 roof vent in a car thats easy,putting 2 in is a different ball game glad you got them sorted looks well

 

Hi
Don't suppose you still have the breaker shell complete with dashboard?

 

no sorry it went a couple of weeks ago

 

No problems, if you stumble across a good, solid MY94/95 car for a donor please do let me know. Not fussed if it's a runner or not but emphasis is on shell being solid and dashboard all being complete and in place.

 

3 of my shells on top a shipping container outside dans dismantlers in bridgewater, I had to leave them there when I left the country. If dave (runs dans) isnt around speak to andy collard @ AC motorsport which is next door and tell them Tom sent you

 

[QUOTE=domino46;11915421]Got the front arms back from the polisher , bargain @ £20 a arm

Who did you use to Polish the arms??

 

[QUOTE=beanbaby;11955076]
I use a local chap for all my polishing , he works out of his garage but has all the pro kit and does a great job

 

Thanks Tom
Andy did some work on my MK2 and has done some on my current car so am familiar with Dans and have seen the shells on the container. Was hoping for a complete shell really, doors, glass, dashboard etc but can't quite recall what state of completeness those shells were in?

 

PM'd

 

cars now back over in the paint shop having its dust over to make sure everything matches as it should and having the roof vents fitted swell ,, can't wait to see it full sprayed

 

Dom is that o2c blue your having it painted ?? and thats a novel way to keep the vents in place while the tiger seal cures as well lol

 

no mate its actually a Skoda dynamic blue but its lovely in person so I went with it as it was what it was originally sprayed with ,, I think he used some panel apoxy or something so it can be sanded and blended in with the roof ,, I did laugh aswell when he sent me the pics of the vents with the wheel on them lol

 

what are the lines near your front arb? the braided metal lines?

awesome project - exactly what i'm attempting to do, just with less competence / money available than you!

Ash

 

hi ash ,, the lines are for the oil cooler , they run ontop of the sump guard that iv not fitted just yet

 

bit more paint on the car now ,, next task is very carefully putting it back together lol

 

Looks very nice.

 

Some more parts put back on today

 

Looking awesome mate, love the color!!

 

thanks

before





after









and the sill stands make working under there so much easier

 

Looking really nice dude! especially the guards - where did you get them from?

Ash

 

hi ash

I take it you mean the alloy ones ?,,,they are second hand from eBay and I redone them in gold ,, safety 21 (I think will have to check) was written on them though if thats any help

 

Are these the vents advertised on eBay? What's the quality like? And do they seal well or does the wind whistle through them?
