Post subject: | slight change of plan - simpler and cheaper! |
after a year of my dad mindering me to save for insurance and my endless efforts to ignore him, it has finally come to my attention that it was a terrible mistake! ![]() ![]() since i'm more focused on saving for insurance (about £1,500 and tax, MOT etc) i want to do the simple things that will make a difference to appearance: replace front right speaker replace clutch ratchet replace PAS pump (to stop the F'ing whining) grind back arches to prevent scrubbing sort out all rust on sills and arches and tow eyes remove rear wiper and smooth over de badge rear de lock it... need to check on fitting a boot popper as i know it was optional to get it in the si(?) fit either 15" zetec alloys or 15/16" fox evo 3 alloys (cheap off ebay or the scrappy hopefully!) then once its been on the road for a while... move onto bigger better things (central locking, full window tints, lowered, full exhaust system...) comments and advice would be appreciated. thanks, ben |

electrics isnt too hard. I done my central locking, windows, and boot release in a day. Bits you will need. 2x central locking units 2x electric window motors 2x electric pack door looms (have connections on them for the c\l & e\w) 1x main electric loom (runs through the middle of the dash and joins the 2 door looms together) 1x boot release mech (make sure it has the arm and 2 little plastic clips on it) 1x Si square boot relese switch (will mount where the blank plug is near the gearstick) 2x door bins with holes cut for the electric window switch 3x electric window switches (2 on drivers side, 1 on passenger) Various length cabling and fuses to install the boot release mech. Tools needed: socket set screwdriver set soldering iron\terminal blocks drill (need to drill out old manual window mechs) wire cutters rivet gun various length cable ties electrical tape duct tape The "Parts for sale" section on here, ebay and your local scrappy are best place to source the parts. |
