polish that manifold cover! makes the world of difference in the bay

Haha I know I know! There'll be a new manifold there soon though so debating whether or not it's worth it

Been busy getting my wheels done along with a few other things so I've not really had any updates to share. Just thought I'd post a few more pics of the interior up, seeing as all the ones on here have got the headrests the wrong way Battery on my camera died though so they're just rubbish phone camera pics I'm afraid. Just need to finish painting the handles black

And my boot build which is a work in progress

I've also fitted a new old headunit, which will do for now until I can afford to get what I want and at least I can get the install up and running with it.

And I gave my splitter a bit of a tidy up too, haven't got a pic at the minute but will get one when I remember :)

Boot build's pretty much finished now, just needs wiring up. Not too happy with the red, doesn't really work with the rest of the car but I've had a mare trying to find any red never mind one that actually works! Time's a bit tight at the minute though so it'll do for now, easy enough to change in the future. Pretty happy with it for a first attempt though :)

Few other things...

Painted splitter

New aerial gasket seal, mine was a state

Painted my badges black too

Front, not that you can really see it

Back

My wheels are half way through being built too, I should have them finished by tonight. Got some Toyo's on their way for them too :-D

Comments welcome :)

Cheers

Looking absolutely mint, and i lovvvve the retrim, keep it up :-)

Well yeah, didn't make the best choice with them but there wasn't exactly time to get anything else. Not keeping them on so meh :-D

Thanks!

Got a few things left to do to tidy the car up a bit, then who knows... Got a few more things I wanna do bodywork wise which hopefully will happen over the summer, then obviously need to get new tyres on and sort the height out, few things to tidy up the engine bay and hopefully some more changes to the interior. I was looking to get a new exhaust system soon but we'll see how that goes with money etc

There's plenty more I hope to do in the future but that's my realistic list for now :p

Not updated this for a couple of weeks as there's not really much been happening since All Types for certain reasons... but I have managed to get some new tyres for the rear so at least the car's sitting a bit better now. Still need to sort the front camber out to drop it a bit more all round. Not got any proper pics so these will have to do for now!

And also came back from Dub Mania with this today :)

I'm getting there slowly!

Congrats today, I'm the owner of the gold mk1 that was in front of you in the prize collection, my gosh I was scared the car was going to cut out

cars looking fantastic, keep it up :)

Dan

Mine did, twice That's why I kept re starting the engine haha. At least I think I know what's up with it now

Thanks :) Your car's looking great too, well deserved win for you today

Thanks, mine just does'nt like the heat been old and running a solex carb, and again well done, really do love your car :)

Thanks again :)

Just a few more pictures i've found from the weekend

Thanks!

Little update today, added a new cold air feed to the BMC. It still needs a bit of tweaking, on the engine cover and stuff, and I need a red 90 degree bend but that'll get done soon enough!

Hi you where did u get them cold air feeds ?, and how low, deep do they go.

The easiest place to find them is probably ebay which is where I got mine from, and mine sits just above the carbon cannister.

hm.. do u know the right size, link to ebay site would be helpfull Thanks

btw lovin the car ! ;S

I can't remember exactly where it was I got them from, if you search aluminium pipe or something similar it should come up with some and then it'll be 70mm and you can choose if you want 90 degree etc depending on how you want it to look. Hope that helps a bit
