finished the last bit of wiring in the fuse box, then found out i have ordered the wrong colur brake lines, but fitted them to see what there like!

whoop i love when bits come and i had some come today! now i finished off the wiring in the fuse box and it all connected up to the cut off switch on the dash and i was lucky that i could hide the wire below the fuse box as well all crimped on ready to be bolted in bolted in with a new 100amp fuse also i my brake lines have come also so i got them fitted! but being a twat i have order the wrong color as all my brake lines are blue and these are clear so you can see the braid but dam they look good, also i finished the rear lines too by bolting them to were the abs wire was

it should like you got a air leak some where, i could be wrong tho,

right guys and girls i need some help with what conrods i should go for, i have wisco 74.5mm pistons that the rods will have to fit, and i am not to worried about the price of them, the ones i found so far is scat , tmd own, pec, cheers

dam! the carbon looks nice with the red! keep up the good work!

cheers right not much done to the car today as i been busy repairing some seats which i hate doing !!!! i did get around to removing the last of the sound deading in the boot tho, then i removed the spare wheel holder as i was bored and its going to be in the way of my new fuel system, which i hope to be able to cover over in the spare wheel well also i need to find out what pipes go were on the fuel tank if any one can help?

yes sir lol don't be sorry fella, the brake lines i have got made up and there branded venhill, if you want the sizes i can get them for you, right as sparky wanted me to crack on i have done a bit more, this time i have moved the steering wheel down by 20mm by adding 2 washers each side apart from this i been busy ordering more brake lines and battery wire to finish them off,

sorted out wiring looms , lowered the steering wheel, work out and ordered brake lines and battery cable and thats about it

this happen to me its fella and i know how gutting it is, but chin up and keep going it will be worth it !

one word fella, mental! i would not be 100% happy about cutting out the door bars but, it look like your going for the right cage to protect yourself, have a look at the price to get it welded in tho as it not to bad for the amount of work involed, are you going to seam weld all as well?

lights are working and wires are hiden out the way now this is the drivers side light then it was on to brakes, as i olny fitted braided lines to the front, i thought it was abit rude not to replace the rears! i reused the front line two lines and my clutch line to make the rear up. this time i am having them on show by running inside the car as i ripped out most of the abs wiring now there was the two holes ready to put the lines though and with a nice T piece how the lines a looking on the bulkhead in the engine bay also i have ordered all the bits to finish the brake lines off, whic

cheers sparky i am getting there with it now! i cant wait for all the bits to come, as it's step closer to getting it back on the road!

right as you know the engine bay was in primer and i got hold of a couple tins of paint now to finish it off so i striped all the bits i could off and it looked like this this how it looked with a bit of paint then the fun bit fitting every thing back in! then i was fitting bits back in to the engine bay i wanted to hide as much wiring as possable so first bit was the lights

yeah i know it a fiver fella, but when i when it was some time ago now, like i sed i would be up for it if there is a load starlets going, and on the plus side it only 15mins away lol

i use to go alot but they keep putting the price up, but if there a load of starlets going i be up for it!

yeah i guessed and it still looks the same now, your lovely engine hopefully should be in the machine shop on wednesday to be over bored, decked and the crank reground,

no i am not a great fan of it as it can do as much good as it can bad. by bad i mean hide parts that need sorting out but i see about it then it has a compete strip down and all welded up over the winter, like i have said i got sort of a plan for it now! which helps

patience is somethink i would love to have as well! I just try and keep doing bits that don't cost any thing when i cant afford the next part and i really dont think this car will ever be finished in my eyes, most of the time i found it easyer to take the engine out to work on it, and the list for the car to be done is huge but i really looking in to rear brake line and a brake bias valve for it next

wicked mate i hope to order the rear lines for mine at some point soon right olny done a little bit this weekend but i am happy to say the power steering is now gone and i have got a new rack, with a huge weight saving as well also i finished removing the sound deading in the foot wells,

i am up for this, but do you know if theres any b&b's near? 1.kurt 2.taggy 3.Stokedkid 4. Idrees 5. Adam starlet87 6. Jimbo-ep91 7. *greg* 8. mrkd5916

i heard about this build and i remember the car being broken sadly, is the build still on here? tbh mate its been slow due to the lack of funds but things are looking better and i have fitted a new non PAS rack to it now! and i cant wait to build the engine up now! sparky did you have any luck with your brakes, and what are they like with the wilwoods on them????

looking good! what ecu are you hoping to run?

a small update on the car as i am still waiting on funds to get the block over bored and crank reground right the frist thing was the gearbox, after a couple hours of cleaning and then a cost of paint it look like new to this then it was the heads plus inlet manifold turn next was the loom as it still got all the abs plugs in it and air con this is was i striped out of one loom as the engine bay is empty i thought it would be rude not to give that a clean up too so out came the lights and every thing else

by the sounds of it let water in to the oil which isnt to bad, but i would say it would be worth getting the head checked to see its its not warped, there is some cheep valve spring compressors on ebay, also it might be worth reseating the valves if your changing the valve stem seals

what did the head gasket look like was it shot?
