aye cant wait to get out in it and give it a blast fibreglassing is quite fun if you have mates to help roller it, but when your on your own all day itchin like youve got crabs, it can do your head in a bit. i cracked the boot lid out of the mould today, made this part extra thin, as its only a small panel. one layer of tissue and one layer of chopped strand. it came out of the mould no problem, and its very very light ive decided to cut off the lower bit of the boot lid, and make an ally panel thats bolted in between the rear lights to mount the numberplate and light. so i dont have to unplug the light every time i take the lid off. i also made a spare wheel holder, it will take two spare wheels no problem. the wheel brace screws into a captive nut to hold the wheel(s) in place

fiver each?

you have pm. anyone else need anything? i have the door lock box, and toyota alarm box too.

there ya go fella, thats how to lighten doors

Fuel Tank guard Bonnet ready to come out of the mould out of the mould with the blue PVA release agent on it. peeling it off boot lid mould, sprayed with a layer of gell coat tissue chopped strand mat boot lid made, now needs to cure fuel tank guard fitted, i made up some stainless steel straps too lightened doors i need one of these, the fuel filler pipe anyone got one? Rusted :S

lookin good there buddy, but why havent you taken the side impact bars out? they weigh loads as they have a 3mm wall thickness,

LMaO oh yesh, derrrr, just noticed the rear lights. it was tagged as a paseo :S

sweet sweet, what did you paint it with 2k or celulose?

sweet, awesome get it fitted fella, it will look bloody excellent!!!!!

its not mine, i randomly found it on the net, theres also a photo on the net of a paseo that someone chopped the back and roof out of to transport a motorbike! lol

sweet sweet, i'll pm you you fella today i made the fuel tank guard, i ended up usuing some stainless steel sheet instead of the aluminuim, as its stronger and less prone to decay. ok it weighs a bit more but i didnt use that much. i forgot my camera once again... but hannah came down to work on the car and she brought her phone with a camera on and took some pics, so i'll post them once she has uploaded them. i dont think ive put that i'm sharing the car with hannah, as she has a corsa which is her daily and only uses it for autotests, but wants a car to rally, so we goin halfs. :S i also made the bonnet, the mould was nicely cured, so i gave it another polish, and brushed on some PVA, (it stops the two parts sticking) i then sprayed the white gellcoat on and put on the tissue, then woven glass, and then bulked it up with chop strand. and i got hannah to roller it all nice and tight as i couldnt be arsed while waiting for the fibreglass to set on the tank guard i had a look at the doors, i had allready lightened them, but it was pissing me off that they wernt light enough.... so i took the grinder to them, and now they are about a quater the weight they started off as. they are a bit floppy, but shut and hang allright, so thats cool

hi mate, i'm only one junction down from you on the m65, in Higher Walton, my garage is in Longridge. i got the car fron darwen, and the last 10 years its actully lived in darwen! lol. i got it from www.broadbentautos.co.uk yeah you'll have to come down and have look ;)

the limiter wouldnt have worked, as it limited by the fuel pump/injectors, so oil from the turbo would have let it rev to what ever wanted with no controll.

engine conversions are allways easier if you have the donor car, and transfer the lot over.

i allways go for a full kit, as I've had tensioners fail before, so i allways replace the whole lot. cam belt on a starlet aint too bad, as you only have one cam wheel,

lovin that bumper dude, so is it off a factory starlet then? perfect style for a rally replica

no worries fella ;)

lol, naa, i have plenty of mates who can get me stuff ;) i do a favour for them, they do a favour for me sexual favours too if i wish stickers, nuts, bolts, metal, machining, tyres, tools got a mate for each of them, so i'm never stuck for parts its good to have plenty of friends round to help you out.

aye, lifes too short, and when i'm older i'm probably gonna be bolloxed, so might as well do it all while i'm young enough. no progress on the car today, apart from i recived the V5 through the post ;) sweeet tomorrow i think i'll pick up some more resin and get cracking with the bonnet and boot lid, and make a fibreglass/aluminium sandwich fuel tank guard, i managed to get some 3mm ally sheet, so to make the guard i'll wrap the tank in cling film, put on a few layers of glass and resin, then bond on the ally sheet, and then cover with more fibreglass/resin. then once its cured, crack it off the tank, and i have a nice strong guard

lol that would be pretty cool indeed looks like the paseo is probably goin castrol colours ;)

sweet sweet, might keep an eye out for my rally car for 'show'. they look ace painted white with the red writing

sweet, what size are they? and how much do they usually go for?

they are 1st gen paseos, different body than the later ones.
