Impressive Yeah the ABS has already been deleted, the radio, leccy regulators and sunroof assembly are all coming out so the respective looms will be coming out. The remainder of the wiring for the rear lights, the only essential wiring backwards of the dashboard, will be tidied up and tucked away out of view and risk of being snagged. Doors need some serious surgery too, they weigh a ton! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Just be careful with stripping your doors Sam. If you don't have a cage that is. IIt's surprising how well they're designed to impact the forces in a crash. Removing that structure would massively impact their integrity. I'm not touching mine before I go full cage next year.

SamKidney Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 It's an awesome car. Last time I was over I had a good look around it and I only wish I could get something done that comes close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 One side of the floor repaired! Going to add an infill plate from the inside into the recess that's been left to strengthen it all up. If/when I get a roll cage the feet for the roof bar sit where I've made the repair and I'd like it to be as strong as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TROYston Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Anyone got a ramp and welder that would want to work for some beer cutting my centre box out my exhaust and welding in a chunk of pipe. This exhaust is too damn quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) I have half a floor, woop! I'll surface plane it all and epoxy it so it is easy to keep clean (and not dusty when being brushed!)

Pashley26 Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) I am basically a Subaru f**king pro now. An hour to take the intake pipe off and refit a new one.

The nearest place I found for my car was quite expensive coupled with bad reviews, leaking in from the glass fitting mostly. I would be cool fitting it myself but if the price isn't much extra and its only going to be a day trip to get done I am cool with it. The bike fits in it also so can always go and be social after .

SamKidney Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Slowly losing my nerve with this car. Cut away and discover more. Honestly tempted to f**k it off, call it a bad do and just buy something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
