jamiea7x Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 i think red centres to match on theose wheel centres would look sick with the gold bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orla Posted January 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 just a small update really, wheels have since got some serious camber going and sitting loads better now and tidied up the interior as a temp job by spraying the headliner and grab handles etcheadliner from thisto thisCamber up frontAlso had the misfortune of the battery dying and having to break into the car to get the bonnet open had to drill the locks in the endlesson learnedgetting Paint tidyed up again in Southam Bodies and fingers crossed it will be out for UD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) Orla, next time that happens. Dont drill the locks!Jack the car up, remove the under tray if you have one and connect your battery charger to the power terminal on the starter motor.Bit of a fiddle, but gives you enough power to open the doorsCar looks ace, love the colour!John Edited January 6, 2010 by CasperGTI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunderland Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 yumm, looks top, where are your aero wipers from ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orla Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Thanks guys I had intended on doing that John but we had bad flooding here at the time and where the car was parked it was uneven so jacking it was impossible, lesson learnt though, will be keeping the bonnet popped from now on when it parked upAlso going fitting LCR splitter, not sure if it will suit the car but will try it anyway, and a new momo team 280 has also been purchased Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusgrant Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 looks so nice! I dont think the splitter is a good idea though personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orla Posted April 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Havent updated this in a while - since the above pics its had some paint tidied up, new headlights and indicatorsmomo team 280mm and carbon fibre door trims which i bought off MarkHad some mechanical issues with thermostat housing and oil pressure switch and now have a few niggles with egr valve but nothing majorAnyway heres some pics iv robbed from people from UD and Dubshed at the weekendUD started off on the hard shoulder a few times over heatingdoor trimsand heres some from Dubshedand my trophy which i was chuffed to bits with gettingNo real plans for immediate future as im completely skint balls from ferries and paint and getting it fixed etc plus for once i think i might actually spend some money on something other than the car so next thing is just smaller dishes on the front so i can get it lower and sitting better, interior and engine will wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orla Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 thought i'd bump the thread before it diseappears into extinctionnothing to report really, car and my bank balance took an 18month holiday from each otherSo only a small few updates, split my 2 front wheels, shortened the bolts, got shallower nuts and washers and removed the gaskets, first time splitting and rebuilding wheels so im quite chuffed to report they are holding air and im now down from using 9mill spacers to 5mmfrom thistostill not happy but its better than it wasAlso started on building a false floor, figured i may as well seeing as though the rear seats were useless anywaypics fof progress so far and hopefully if carpet arrives tomorrow i shall get it finished over the weekendGetting a few bits of paint tidied up next month and all going well she shall be over for edition, my fear of her has gone and im now excited about getting out driving it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
