Header tank is a large, shaped thick o-ring.

 

Cheers Frayz, do you know anywhere that does replacements

As for the car, stereo surround and centre console are out and on their way to Manchester to be flocked - big up to https://www.scoobynet.com/member.php?u=113684 who has sorted me a great price and as I have one of his dashes already I know the work will be spot on.

Whilst the dash was out I tidied up the stereo wiring, getting rid of the horrible autoleads loom and splicing the Alpine connector straight into the plug from the autolead connector meaning I've lost about a foot of excess wiring whilst meaning the job is still reversible, not that I want to change anything since I got my Alpine HU in there.

 

Nice work mate. Where did you get the motorbike mirrors from & did you modify the mirror plates to make them fit?

 

Just got a set of these mate, and then colour coded them

Nice one geez. Do they fit ok?

 

The fit is fine, I'm not convinced by the security of the arms, they do vibrate out of place and there's a little surface rust on the arms. I'll sort all of that during the rebuild, but a drop of super glue on the ball joint worked a treat until someone banged against it in a car park

 

Daam! They do look nice though & at a good price. Will defo have a go at them. What is visibility like?

 

Surprisingly usable. I've had M3 and Ganador mirrors on previous cars and these are so much better. They're solid enough to be able to see what you're looking at and can be aligned to actually see something.

 

Sounds good. Hinted out to the Mrs a while back what i want for our anniversery

Cheers

 

Roof lining is out, map reading lamp bracket is removed - that's the point of no return reached. Tomorrow will be the fitting of the roof flap

Shopping list for the rest of the project is as follows:

TD05 18G
STI Pinks (Bought but not paid for)
TGV Delete (Just waiting for a mate to do the welding of the manifold)
Another FB Tuning remap
Exedy pink and flywheel
K-sport 365mm 8-pots for the front
STI Brembos for the rear
STI pedal set (en route courtesay of Revolution)
Rear diffuser
Flocked centre console (being done by Oh-Flock as we type)

Also considering

ABW fibreglass bootlid
S202 spoiler
BC Coilovers

 

No holding back on the build then mate,she should end up a belter of a scoob Jon

 

And still buying a lottery ticket every weekend to pay for it all

 

Im trying to talk my missis into letting me go six speed but im failing miserably at the moment

 

I reckon I need about £4.5k to do it all. I'm about £4499 short at the moment

 

Doing the good mods is never cheap,i was shocked when i forged my engine at how much it all's costs just to do that.

 

Hi mate any news on the rear diffuser yet think i might just order 1 anyway LOL

 

Not got it yet, waiting for the delivery, but I think he's sold out

 

Good luck tomorrow with the Flap fitting mate Gonna do mine early next year

 

Give me a shout if you need a hand, it's been relatively easy so far and I've not used Frayz guide yet. Will be printing it off later though

 

Looking forward to see how you get on with the vent Jon, sounds like it's not going too bad so far. Just mind your fingers

 

There's only one bit that uses a stanley knife so I should survive - the rest is power cutting tools

 

Oh dear that could be interesting. Try to make sure you don't cut too many limbs off mate I need your help with mine

 

I'm sure they just grow back

 

 

Use the guide and its straight forward Jon

 

I have it printed out, but having read it haven't needed to go back to it yet. Just over half way through dremelling my hole

Pics to follow

 

Won't be happening mate, despite him showing 3 available when I ordered it he now says he's sold out and has refunded my payment

 

Sounds good Jon,

Hopefully the guide makes things easy enough to follow that doing the job should be clear having read it once

 

I might pop round in a bit to take over with the dremel!! lol I could cut out another hole in the passenger roof area for a type of rear gunner turret!!

 

The guide is excellent mate, without it I don't think I would have known where to start, but once your off it is fairly straight-forward

2 inches left to do with the dremel - will be about 6-hours work all in for this one, including scotch-briting the whle roof and painting the inside of the flap
