thanks for the nice comments,TBH I thought copper replacement lines werefine.I reckon at some point i'll run braided fuel and brake lines through the car.

UPDATE 07.07.07

right after tidying up all the loose ends,ITS MOT'ed,flying colours and no adviseries,im well chuffed.I took it for a quick blip and as expected it completely out drives my 1.3,in terms of the handling and braking more then anything as its only mildly quicker but I reckon it will be fun with the 1.6 on carbs in it.New bonnet is on order,which will then complete the cosmetics of it.The front valance has been ground back but needs welding and treating and will be painted with the wing and door when the bonnet arrives.next stop is getting a VIC check.comments appreciated steve

thanks lads,glad you all like it.Anoying thing is having to retain the 1.4 lump to get it through the VIC check before I can stick the 1600 in it but will book it in on my lunch break monday so shouldn't be too long.cheers steve

As matt said, interior = porn

update 27.07.07

Not a huge update but another step in the right direction.I bought the car with light damage to the near side front which the insurance company had deemed as a write off although it was only needing a new wing and a door,so when I applied for a log book I was informed that it had to go for a vehicle identity check.I spoke to the VOSA people who said to send off my form and that there was a 4 week backlog and the soonest date they had was August 21st which was a bit gay.On tuesday (24th) my old dear rang up to book it in whilst I was at work and was told there was a cancelation for 8.50am today (27th),result!.Was up early doors and blatted down to chelmsford with my uncle on trade plates and it all checked out fine so can send off the paperwork to get the V5C enabling me to tax it.It was the cars first decent run which went almost faultlessly apart from it liking to pop out of second gear,so we have decided to swap the 'box for an S2 RST item when we change lumps,which will hopefully start being reassembled next week in preparation to do so.Took receipt of my fibreglass bonnet last week also :aviator:.cheers steve



the hinges will be retained at the rear for mounting and will be secured at the front using locking aerocatch items for added security and because they're more subtle than conventional bopnnet pins.

I've swapped the locating pins to the ones pictured from another set of bonnet pins I bought as I thought the alloy ones supplied in the kit seemed a bit flimsy,and that they were a gay red(pink) colour

I added a TRS net in the back to hold the essentials.map,steering lock,torch,tools ETC

looks wicked now !!

lovely !

Its coming along really nicely

Where'd you get the bonnet from? Looks like it could do with a bit more bracing maybe to stop it flapping at speed

thought I'd put a little update on,not much really happening TBH.A while back I painted a few interior bits (footrest,door handles,handbrake cover) which came out faultlessly but after being in storage for a while they picked up scratches,So I decided to get it all powder coated to be more durable but in the same colour satin black.I also was never really happy with the colour of the cover I had done so that was treated a to a coating of satin black aswell to continue the black and white theme.On friday we were down the scrap yard and came across a set of rims,they are stamped up as compomotive "trackstars" in 15 X 7.They're a bit crusty but with no chunks missing or bends in them so I had the set for £30 .Will refurb them in white when I get the chance and wrap them in sticky rubber as track day wheels or swap the tyres over and use them and keep the RS2k wheels as track wheels,undecided.cheers steve
