way heyy progress Dude.

yeah spring rates on coilovers is a black art my racelands are

Front – 325 lbs/inch

Rear – 320 lbs/inch

so once i have them on, i will be trying out lower spring rates, and comparing the drive, can always switch em back for heavy loads, tracks, etc

Aaaaand finished!

i did consider textured paint after seeing Yoof's cam cover...

But, i had this aleady.. so to save money and all that, i stuck with it :)

I am so fucking excited.

Ok it's a painted cam cover, but PROGRESS

Yayyy well done Toby!!!!!

Also, crinkle paint is epicnessssssss. May paint mine instead of polished, crashing added deep scratches haha

^ lol :)

You've done it all wrong mate, thats a 16v!

I'd say he's doing it right tbh maxy boy

But you also think eyebrow piercing's are right

Don't know who to believe

id say hes doing it wrong too. lack of 8v boosttt

id say hes doing it wrong too. lack of 8v boosttt

Well, he's seen the light and going G40 after i think, that right toby?

nomnom. i cant wait to be ut of debt so i can buy a g40 and be back in debt.

Debt is good, overdraft builds ftw

Overdraft builds

This is 100% one of those

Do this

Use for a year

Get out of said overdraft

Buy G40 conversion

PLS stepped to 14" or some other pimp ass 14"s

Max getting jelzzz from seeing all these 16 valves .

Is it me or did you get exited when you put the rocker cover back on ?? I couldnt wait haha :p

My engine is at the same stage as urs tbf . Just need cambelt, sump painted, sump plug and gasket ..

You got a bike carb set up toby ?

Cant remember if i seen one in the thread lol :/

Any progress is exciting, I think I may have sleepless nights when that engines in and starts

Lying in bed like christmas is coming haha!

lmao!

Yeah, i have a carb setup :)

little bit more progress today. not much tho as I've been taking advantage of the sun. And I've had to stop early again for pub action.

Brakes are back on (put them on upside down yesterday, realised today when i was under the car again

Steering arms on, camber bolts on, arb is in place

TCA's on

Got stuck with the arb blocks tho. 2 man job. I can pull the bar to where it needs to be, but i cant do that aswell as lining the blocks up, holding them and the plates together and putting the bolt in

Soon as the arb is on, i can put the front down on its wheels then get the backs on.

Then push it round to the house ready to drop the engine in

Should have all day tomorrow on it as I've nout else planned. Get some engine bits done hopefully. Need to drill the other 2 holes for the engine mount plate. and buy the correct alt belt, keep forgetting about that when I'm in helfrauds.

Sell me the PLSs. Bloody love them! Your plans sound a little like mine. Get it on the road, and then tear straight back into it!

Good progress dude, get some pic up though, forget what this car looks like!

I'm actually really pleased for you mate, good to see some progress :)

Interior is 'in' the car, loosly

As soon as i can push it out of the garage I'll be putting it back in. Because i stole loads of bits for the breadvan tho I've had to buy a load of bits to shove it back in.

Like the plastic runners for the seats etc

But yeah, its all going back in, A'md ill get the sub n stuff in and wired up as soon as its round here.

Just need to sort out the front door cards/speaker pods. I've came up with an idea to make it relatively easy. Just need to shorten the door pockets somehow. Fiberglass maybe? dunno how to hold them together after I've cut n shut them lol.

Some odds and sods needed for the engine (braided fuel hose, fuel pressure gauge, i want an oil pressure gauge too, trumpets or an airbox for the carbs, need a new expansion tank and a lid for the brake fluid reservoir)

Want to find a momo team 300mm, as i have the boss already and thats the interior done. Need to make this cupholder fit/work that I've bought too

Custom exhaust i need to find fundage for, then RR setup

PLS, need all new split bolts, 5mm spacers (or whatever required) for up front and new wheel bolts/locking bolts to accommodate. Either a polishing kit or a trip to rainbow for the dishes.

And a paint in my garage for the barrels and faces.

MOT, tax, insurance.

Some things can wait till after really, but most i want before its back on the road.

the momo for example, but that will be a 'jump if theres a bargain' because they are fucking expensive new.

LIKE

hmmm..

Anyone know how to do the tracking on one of these things?

Look at all them different colours

Cant believe i'm actually seeing pictures of your car dude, looks great though.

Need some more photos though!
