Yep

I'm around all weekend fella

why not get a roof skin from scrappy? cut through the pillers then drill the spot welds at home? then get it put on

I think this is what I will be doing mate, I can't really justify paying £250+ for a new one

Be far cheaper doing it that way

indeed mate, if you have trouble finding one im sure i can chop a roof off a car here for next to nothing, but ferry becomes a problem, mind you i could walk on with it, that would get people wondering WTF

No problems mate... il get the jetski out and you can ride it back across the solent lol..

Or perhaps there is another option hey

[jayrs]

, if i knew it wouldnt sink i would prob be up for that too

[Turboboy67]

I will bear your offer in mind Jay

[jayrs]

depending on when you plan to do it i *might* be able to get one over to the mainland for you

[~S1~]

They're not that much are they, I'm sure I didnt pay anything like that when I replaced mine? Never really looked at the bill tbh tho

[luca]

Now that doesnt look as bad as i first had thought ..........

mmmmmm sweeeet!

[Turboboy67]

http://www.fordpartsuk.com can do them for £225+ shipping, which they say would be expensive,

my local Ford dealer can get one for £250

But I now have another plan in the pipeline

Watch this space for future updates

[luca]

Anybody wanna buy a quickshift

[jayrs]

give ya a tenner

[muz]

yep its true about b&m. I've just payied £220 for a used one.

[luca]

In that case the money recieved so far is a deposist

What a deal, and your more than welcome mate no longer required and good its gone to a trackcar home.

[Turboboy67]

Awesome bit of kit it is to fella

Jay, thats the first time EVER I have read you wanting to part with money

(scribbles date down )



Anyway the shortest secret it history is out,

I'm getting Carbon Fibre roof made for the car (tbc next week)

And again hopefully it will be joined by other Carbon panels in the future

so much for a "budget" track car hey

11 weeks to my first track day of the year @ Castle Combe tomorrow

[jayrs]

so are you saying you will accept my offer

[Turboboy67]

so are you saying you will accept my offer

Nope

So far its the best mod I've done to the 1800

[jayrs]

wait till you paint it red, then it would be the 2nd best mod

[Turboboy67]

[rsonblackwheels]

i fort i'd heard they had stopped making them,

oh well might have to give the Burton Power one a try them ££££

thanks for the info
catch you later

[Turboboy67]

More progress today even though it was freezing !!

Swapped mirrors for some small race ones



Just ordered up some carbon sheet to cover where original mirrors were

More interior trim removed, probably going to ditch the carpet as well,

tomorrow I'm going to buy some paint for the interior.

Put new temp sender in, I now have a temp gauge that works.

Relocated boot popper into dash

Swapped front fogs/spots for another pair I had that actually work,

going to do something trick for track days with them as well

[luca]

mirrors look cool mate

someone has the track car bug

[jayrs]

getting there mae and looking good.
may have to borrow that B&M off you at some point to copy it and make one up

if it wouldnt cost so much to get to tracks etc etc i would of prob used the blue xr2 or FNO shell for a track car, but funds wont allow

[hb69]

shaun, whats going on? last i saw it was a budget track car, now i hear about carbon fibre this, carbon fibre that

seriously though, i can see this being quite special, cant believe you havent got the carpet out already

[Turboboy67]

Cheers Jay, perhaps next Winter I can take it off and you can take some measurments

Henry, I know, I know , the thing has started to snowball

But I'm going to get so much enjoyment out of it on track

I lifted the carpet today and it was wet ,
its the blooody sunroof leaking, which will soon not be there

Carpet will be out next weekend, earplugs here we come

[jayrs]
