right update time everyone i bought a cavi sri130 from a friend of a friend that had a nice big smack in the back for the huge sum of 80squid

i set to work on wed nigt on pickin the car up and got it back by 930 then set at strippin it down by 11pm i had the engine out and by midnight thecar was back rolling on thursday i then set at stripping the loom out which was fun as the ecu is hidden in the footwell behind the dash so i got the bfh out and proceded to move the dash gently out of the way

so now i have all the parts i need for the conversion its just a case of gettin the shell finished ready for the engine to be mounted up

me and mini boy ian also painted the inside while we were bored the other night and started to mask the sides up ready for the shultzing of the under neath which i hope to get done next week sometime and then get to work gettin it fully painted
now for the pics

any updates on this?

[bousfield19]

sorry been other commitments taking priority recently but i am trying to work on it some more now they are out of the way will post some new pics when i get 5 mins

[bousfield19]

here we go some piccys for you all i am really glad i chose the colours i have as they look really smart together and should look good with mk2 rear lights and mk2 style boot

















we need to flat back the top part of the grey and mask it up to paint the black but we cant do that until the paint is hard enough so will be leaving that a week or two until we do that.


in the meantime we can prime the doors arches boot bonnet etc and paint my cage and subframes and bolt them up also need to rebuild my engine that is sat in pieces on the workshop floor at the moment

ps sorry for the large ammount of pics got over excited

Hello, Mr Numpty Know-nowt here. Just for info, when you're masking up a body like that, it looks as if you do it from the inside and then crawl out through the driver's door and tape up the gaps in the paper. True?

*Sorry, forgot to say great work!*

EDIT Later -- thanks for the pm Jamie

Looks sound mate!

Is the scuttle painted?

Looks like it isnt in the photo's, probably just the light though.
