Hi Yoza.
Thought you had left the country mate. Not too much to do on the 01 kit now, but It will have to wait a few weeks Glad you like the new one BTW.

The doors will open, but only from the inside. Didnt think it was worth relocating the handles, I think it looks better without.

Heres the bumpers after a hard days work!
With extra large air intake, perfect for a FMIC








Cheers.

I got started on my wide arch kit today, finished the basic construction of the pannels, just need to let them set on the car overnight, then my car can go back to normal for a while




Next its the skirts, then widening the bumpers.







Cant wait until it looks like this!



I will put more pics on this thread as I go along.
Cheers, Rob.

Where abouts are you in Warrington??

Thinking about new fornt / rear bumper for my MY95

Cheers

Car looks awesome by the way

rob oneill

Thanks Hanley,
I have emailed you.

rob oneill

Heres an update on the project, the arches are taking shape now, and built up the basic skirts.






Heres the wheels Im hoping to get, SAS 3 piece split rims, going for 18"*8.5", gives an extra 55mm on either side of the car
Just waiting for the prices on them (Doh!)

M0NEY

Rob,

can you show me a pic of your morettes with your side lights on, with normal headlights and final full beam?

I know the outer ones are your normal headlights and the full beam is all 4 so where are the side lights on the unit?

rob oneill

The side lights are in the normal headlight, the outer one. If you look at the bottom of the reflectors, there is a small bulb holder in the lamp unit. You need to wire this up to your side light cables. It was necessary to cut the original plug off the original sidelight cable, extend the cable, and crimp on some universal connector plug thingies, you will know when you see it!
Cheers, Rob.

M0NEY

Cheers Rob - i will give it a go

Painting your side lights - did you just use the spray from halfords?

rob oneill

No, byt you could do, make sure you rub yhem down with 1200 first though.
Cheers.

M0NEY

Cheers Rob.

What did you do then? Actually spray them?

rob oneill

Yes, masc off the rubber edges and spray the outer surface of the lense.

M0NEY

Good stuff

Thanks

rob oneill

Heres some more pis,
Nearing the end now, getting a bit excited

All thats left to do now is widen and deepen the bumpers(tomorrows job, he he) then take moulds from it all.











Hoping to have it all fitted and sprayed in 2 weeks from now, when my wheels arrive.

Cheers, rob.

yoza

Will you stop messin around with yours, and start messin around with mine!

Lookin good by the way........

And Im in no rush.

Later Yoza

Ray_li

how do you open the rear doors?

Ray_li

You should have a look at the wing mirrors on a TVR. they have a little button under it that you press to open the doors. will work well on the front doors and good for security.
Thats all I know. just an idea.

Ray

Cars looking good

rob oneill

Its a nice idea Ray, but sounds a bit complicated to do
Im going to colour code the front handles anyway, so it will look better. Pleased to hear you like it so far, I just cant wait to get it finished, my car loooks absolutley fooked at the moment, Im used to people staring, but not because it looks like a shed!!

*Sonic*

Looking good Rob

Tell me, have you been driving the car round, with all the bits on it?

chiark

Wasn't there a picture of this car on topgear last night?

Jus' joking - should be utterly unique when finished, and there's a shedload of craftsmenship being put into this.

Dunc20

Reckon it will look the DOGS B0LL0CKS when it's done. I like the look of the new wheels you're getting too!!

Can't wait to see it in the flesh!!!

rob oneill

Not been driving with all the bits on, but with all the skirts off, covered in dust, scratches, tape, basicaly looks like a shed!

LOL, I saew top gear my bird said the same, cheeky git

Thanks Dunc, feel free to come down and have look anytime mate.

rob oneill

No going back now!
Had the front arches cut back, and the rears cut back, then welded back to the inner skin. Will give me loads of clearence, ready to fit the kit next week now, at last!!

"Its a nice idea Ray, but sounds a bit complicated to do"

its not at all rob, u need to take old handles off and weld plates over the holes and blend them in, im sure youre more than capable of doing that

then use one of the many oor release kits available, directeds one is good. Its a simple solenoid that bolts to the inside of the door with a cable which you attach to the rod which pulls your door open when u lift the handle. Then when it gets current it pulls the cable and opens the door, the button on the mirror is simply a switch.

it will take you about an hour per side to do it properly, u shud give it a go m8
