Hi Paul.

[~S1~]

I had a hangover yesterday after all that Malibu you were forcing down my throat too!

That was no way forced, you loved it you just like the other thing I forced down your throat

Hi Paul.

Hi Mark,

[~S1~]

Aeroquipp was posted yesterday so I should be picking it up on Friday! Im hoping to the the bonnet and boot on the weekend too! Should be making some more progress at last

[~S1~]

Picked up Aeroquip today, £500+ worth , shame its not all there, still dont have the correct fittings for the fuel pump which is the whole reason I sent the pump away! Anyway, picked up bonnet and boot today as well.







Opinions wanted on rear lights, RS accessory or Clears, personally im thinking RS.

[heeman10]

I bet smoked lights would look pretty darn good on there Definitely not clears though! Damn shame about the muck-up with the fittings Top news that the bonnet and tailgate are back though, it makes it that bit more like a car again!

[xrsi]

car is looking as good as ever, colour is really growing on me as in all honesty hated it when i first saw it.

has to be the rs rear lights, clear rears cheapens the look no end!

bit of a pain with the aeroquip not all arriving

[mike_wall15]

RS Lights are the only option...

Who put the numberplates in the wash btw?

Oh, poor Focus looks dirty. Needs a detail!!! (And the fiesta I'd imagine!!)

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

[Max M4X WW]

Woo, Real RS Rears!

But yes I think smoked's could look 'the best'

I'm not keen on the tiny plate!

Looking great back together

[garyhurn77]

i really like the colour, tp work looks awesome the contrats between the paint work and the wheels

has the paintwork got a gold pearl?

[heeman10]

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

...the colour is ten times better in the flesh

It looks a horrible 1960s faded lime green in the pics. It is a totally different colour to the naked eye. Photo's really make it look nasty

Yeah, its Lotus Scandal Green which has a gold pearl in the lacquer, as James said, looks loads better in the flesh

[garyhurn77]

i really like the colour you can ser the pearl in some of the pictures, i thought it may have been the triumph roulette green, similar kinda colour!


love it

judt read this whole thread for the 1st time m8 thats an amazing car well done can't wait to see it in the flesh at fitp

[MotorcyclesFish]

The car's a damn sight more impressive when someone's sat in the driver's seat going "vroom vroom".


Looking good mate, just needs m3 mirrors, a mondeo spoiler and some venoms.

In that case, some lexus rear lights would look spot on!

On a slightly serious note - i think it looks really good with the RS rears.

[~S1~]

i think it looks really good with the RS rears.

general concensus seems to be the RS lights so I reckon thats what I'll go for.

Another pic from today, bonnet is on!

[heeman10]

Great, another nasp car trying to look cool with a big bumper cutout

Once again, looking more like a car! Sorry I didn't reply when you texted that pic through today, I was attending to a sickly Astra! Looking good Front plate

Ive decided to go Old-skool on it so have dumped the turbo'd 2.1 16v in favour of a kent 1.6 pushrod engine mated to a four-speed gearbox, front looks a bit bare without an IC, dunno what to put there instead? Ive always wanted tiny plates, never had a car that suits them tho, I think this one does

[heeman10]

Mesh is your friend! Plates are good

[2.0zetec]

do you wanna sell that 2.1 m8?

Loving the old school direction with this car, the 330mm alloy drum brakes are a thing of serious beauty.

As an aside, do the FWD ford boxes have filler and drain plugs?

[Excursion]

No grant, not until 2003.

Looks good Paul! This is another project that gives me inspiration/motivation to solider on with mine.

I do wish you wouldn't.

[Max M4X WW]

Aero-Catches?

[xrsi]

i had wandered why paul wasnt using aero catches as it would make it look alot better and also match the black morette's.

[Turboboy67]

Love it

Any idea on what weight it will be ?, got to be well under 800kg imo

Why have you still got the fogs in ?

Are you planning on doing some quater mileing on Dartmoor or something

[Ghost]

Aero-Catches?

Just what I was thinking!?

[~S1~]

Right, minor update - after recently spending a day hooning myself & Dave's trackcar around I have found a burst of enthusiasm to get this finished! The poor car has been stuck in my garage under an ever-increasing pile of junk so at the weekend I began the clearup of the garage and on Sunday was able to extracate it. This is its first outside appearance in nearly a year so i thought it deserves a couple of pics. Shame they dont do it justice, the gold pearl look stunning when the light catches it!!!

As you can see, It has aero-catches fitted which is the last thing I did to it last year. IIRC I had already bought them when a couple of you commented I should fit them.

Here's hoping it will be mobile fairly shortly.

[~nomad~]

super dooper, really not alot to do mate, get it done for the summer i say!

[Sphinx]

I just love your house/drive/garage!

[luca]

Hurry up im getting excited!

[EUFez]

This fez looks soo good, top job.

[M1K3Y_B]

Colour is really different and the it looks mean
