been busy today. decided i like the striped out look and so the dash area will be sanded back again to be sprayed nicely. mounted up my seat and steering column, also made sure  mounted up the gear selector which i dismantled,cleaned and painted beforehand. once this was all mounted i had a sit in the car and realised that my gear stick needs cranking so i took it out from the selector heated it up in the fire and bent it into shape. the bend i put in moved the leaver around 2" closer to me and so felt so much better. i have to say the positioning of where i sit is incredibly comfortable and go-kart like. other than that i mocked things up such as centre binnacle and fresh air vents which i had to position differently due to the extra roll bar i put along the dash. painted and cleaned things like the horn and lhs master cylinder blanking plate, also mocked up my fuel tank, fitted the handbrake and other little bits such as switch panel, accelerator pedal, brake light sensor on the pedal box.

 

cant wait  for Bingley tomorrow. when i get back i shall be uploading pictures of my purchases, with hopefully many being bargins ahahah till then......

been busy buying stuff at bingley today. however needed less than all the other times i have been so didnt come back with much, however saying that for alot of the stuff i either thought i could get it on ebay cheaper or just get it at minispares which saves me the hassle of carrying the stuff and buying so much in a busy crowd. 

 

i did get:

 

works rally exhaust 

rear hi los 

mk1 interior handle 

duplex timing chain 

mk1 window catches 

mk1 window catch rubbers 

screen heater vent for 50p

 

oh and i also picked up my harness which i am very happy about. fitted these and mocked up the exhaust when i got home, however i could only mock up the exhaust as one of my brand new mountings didnt tighten up, as the stud span around in the rubber, which i wasnt happy about.

 

i will be fully sanding the exhaust and painting it with high heat resistant spray which will be a nice matt black !

£50 needs a repaint but thats all 
 
 
yeah i sort of had this in mind however thought i would end up getting an rc40 and painting this black however this exhaust is so much better for my car and plans. its black already just needs a repaint, it doesnt have a rolled tip, and it is good as my car is low and it is made so the bottom is all flush so it cant be pulled off  >_<
