Nanglebadger Posted October 12, 2011 Author Posted October 12, 2011 aye speakers are there too marko, wiring was plumbed into the dash loom so i've had to cut that out, u may need fresh wiring, although there's a load of that flat wiring left that ran to the 6 x 9s, which i might add are also still MINT!Phil.

Pandamonium Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Excellent ta muchly. may take the 6x9s so all the ics in gt is sony then, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Quote
Nanglebadger Posted October 12, 2011 Author Posted October 12, 2011 mark - take the lot man. i dont need it for the 159.Jay - yes, discovered it missing last nite, meant to text u.mine is a McGuard item, has a wiggly pattern on the inside as opposed to three prongs dude. Phil. Quote
Pandamonium Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Cheers bro, dont think there is anything else i can steal off you at the min Quote
Nanglebadger Posted October 14, 2011 Author Posted October 14, 2011 UpdatePassenger side dash speaker and wires removed, so the only ice wires left are the OEM loom ones which are tucked up out of the way.Also, factory sound deadening in the spare wheel well is out, took about 40 mins with a hammer and flat head screwdriver. that just leaves the two patches where the rear bench used to be. those are next on my hit list.spoke with jay who has suggested a few removal options for the bay, so that'll be on the cards, EFI, ACIS stuff etc.Phil.

Nanglebadger Posted October 14, 2011 Author Posted October 14, 2011 Evening Updateremaining sound deadening has now been chipped out with a hammer and flat head screwdriver. filled a carrier bag with the shit! mental!expecting a visitor on monday who will hopefully bring a socket set with him - seat belts, your time draws near!Phil.

Nanglebadger Posted October 18, 2011 Author Posted October 18, 2011 UpdateLast nite Joel came round to gimme a hand with some remaining trim items.we have now removed the b-pillar and c-pillar plastics, as well as the seat belts, rear seat mounts and some random foam pieces from random places lol! we have also re-routed the door open sensor wires to up inside the b-pillars to tidy them away and protect them from being damaged.Mark wants the roof liner gone - joel says no - i am undecided.Phil.

Pandamonium Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 whos known you longer huh????????????????????????????????????????????now grow a pair and get it out Quote
Driver Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Roof lining gone, be hardcore. Roof lining is for pussies and the "daily drivers"I still have a roof lining however its coming out sunday when my tools are returned. Quote
Asad Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 i`d remove it...........everything else has gone is it really going to help the noise that much? Quote
string Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 apparently with it out you get dripped on from condensation. Dunno how true. Quote
Driver Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 apparently with it out you get dripped on from condensation. Dunno how true.I never did in my sterlet Quote
Nanglebadger Posted October 20, 2011 Author Posted October 20, 2011 defo making me think about ditching it lol!thanks lads!Phil. Quote
Nanglebadger Posted November 27, 2011 Author Posted November 27, 2011 Updatenow sans headliner.awkward prick to get out. but its out.i think thats the end of the removal stage, with the exception of the engine bay stuff that Jay wants to look at.next up is getting the inside of it cleaned up and, of course, there is still the leak to sort out. fail.Phil.

ste91 Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Good to see this project is still going after all these years!I quite liked that boot build you had, for a daily driver I really liked it with the carpet and the speakers on the side panels it looked very professional, but can't say no to a bit of weight loss.Not got time to read through all these pages but I've been on this forum a few years now and seen cars like this (and Joz's) change a LOT, quite a few people spend thousands building their cars only to break them a few months later, it's nice to see a few projects still getting bigger and better.

Nanglebadger Posted November 28, 2011 Author Posted November 28, 2011 cheers dude!the install was great for a daily, really enjoyable. unfortunately she was just getting too tempermental in her old age to run as a daily anymore, too many things that would fail MOT, so its better to take her off for a while and give her the attention she needs to bring her back to MOT spec and i figured i could take her a different route, make her more of a road warrior as Jay would call it lol!Phil. Quote
The Toffinator Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Awesome project dude, i like the way your going for a road warrior! But pleaseee take out the power steering, i want to do it to mine and its a daily driver... Will make it more of an event when you drive it, which is surely what you want for a car like this??!! Quote
Nanglebadger Posted December 6, 2011 Author Posted December 6, 2011 take it out?f**k that, road warrior spec is one thing, but i aint going back to the dark ages. i have no problem with the feel of the power steering. and after having driven Joel's on the road with no PAS i can safely say - no thanks! lolPhil. Quote
shavnh Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 keep the power steering mine broke for 3 weeks, when i fixed it was the best drive ever lol Quote
Nanglebadger Posted December 6, 2011 Author Posted December 6, 2011 lol aye, im too lazy to drive without it at the mo.i'm hoping to be able to run her during the summer months (thought probably not next yr) on a semi daily basis, so i'd still want the PAS.need to get out to her and get her hoovered out again, but the weather fails!Phil.

Nanglebadger Posted May 13, 2012 Author Posted May 13, 2012 UpdateThanks to a certain sexy Mr Calnan, i now has a Blitz top radiator hose with water temp sensor port in it as the one currently fitted needs to go back to its rightfull owner.I have also ordered an uprated oil return pipe in preparation for a new sump from Alan E once he paints it black for me.then, the sexy Mr Calnan is providing me with some Glanza headlight alignment adjustment bolts, and low and behold we may actually have the parts needed to fix this bitch!Phil. Quote
SiCaln Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Glad i could help man i'll try to get em tomorrow for ya Quote
rob_bower Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Wahoo updates ftw. Glad you getting it fixed buddy. Quote
Jozinobi Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Wow that took longer than my updates!Glad to hear all the little things are gonna get her sorted hopefully.Hopefully this could bring back the love!Joz Quote
Nanglebadger Posted May 14, 2012 Author Posted May 14, 2012 thanks lads!it'll not see the roads this year, but it would be nice to get it to a state ready for an MOT next year.The poor Evans brothers are gonna be tortured helping me out with it, and poor Alan already knows the painting it needs.so, next is the oil return and the bolts from SiCaln, then we can actually change some parts!Phil.
