[Max M4X WW]

[muz]

So they do, I misread the part about orange illuminated needle.

[Dave G fsi]

Nice work.

[jimmyesh]

Amazing amount of graft you're putting in ther mate, the car's coming on a treat Loving the Esc Cos Recaros, I never imagined they could look so good in an S2!

[MAD_Adamski]

new dash? i hope you didnt pay much for it as i could have go yours done where i got mine done for about £100-120!!!

[muz]

How did you know I've got a flocked dash on the way Nah paid £140 posted for it. Can't argue with that.

Cheers Jimmy. I really need to get those rear seats fitted properly, but I'm consentrating on getting it running first.

New wheels arrived! Couldn't have come at a better time as now I can move the car around the work shop and get it trailored down to uncle Oddkidd to sort the engine out.















They are 17x8 ET 35. Which means....











I hope they dont need spacing when the 205 tyres go on.



Also sorted out my intercooler piping temporarily.











And got a new bumper I've started to play with.

Off to Oddkidd creations in about 2 weeks so fingers crossed it will be ready for Fiesta In The Park

[HCS PIMP]

[Hilton HS2]

Give me your wheels

[M1K3Y_B]

Perfect

[muz]

Car looks bloody good in the pics considering its coverd in an inch of dust. Just want it finished now so I can build an XR3/RS1600i

[Ruishy1]

[EUFez]

Its gunna look awesome mate, nice one for getting 8 inchers! Nice and wide.

Legend I might take you up on that. My arches are mint though. Dont really want to cut and roll them

[Ruishy1]

no cutting is necessary, and 99% of the time the paint stays perfect, there is a slight chance of paint cracking on the lip of the arch, but take your time and its usually fine

Got my rear seat fitted today.


Took the base plates off the Cossie foams.




Cut out the section that was catching the inner wing section and where the catch would need to go.



Cut the lock out of the ERST seat backs.



Marked up where it needed to line up and tack welded it.





Then welded it up and strengthened the rear



One pin needed to be exteneded to pull the foam into the back and a section of foam needed to be cut out for the lock to sit in.



And all fitted up





The other side is also finished, but by the time I finished it, it was too dark to photograph as this phone doesn't have a camera flash

I'm going to cover the backs in carpet so you wont see any of the welding. Should have them 100% finished on Wednesday.

[Minstral]

nice bit of modding to the seats. like little touches like that

[muz]

Better pictures of the rear seats.















Need the carpet cleaner put on them though!



And my flocked dash.

[HCS PIMP]

purdy

[muz]

Another late one up the barn, but glad I went.



The dash is fitted along with my RS Accessory steering wheel.







I've also got hold of some standard black dials as I hate white dials



And the start of my Stack gauge addiction has started.







Boost, Oil Temp and Oil Pressure to start with. Got a twin gauge surround on its way from Twins to put 2 of them in.



Then covered the one seat back with carpet.







The other side needs another hole drilling to pull the foam in more before I can cover it.



Then I got cracking with the enigne.



I wired it all up and it all seems to be working



I couldn't start it as it was late but I've got fuel, spark, and its turning over by key so fingers crossed for tomorrow!

[Dave G fsi]
