  • Lakes Preperation

    Well, i'm still trying to get ready for the Lakes.

    things are very slow at the moment as work has slowed right down, money's tight, missus is moaning lol..

    nearly finished tidying the wiring, got the locks working with the alarm now, the rear bulk head is in and fitted, rear seatbelts fitted after 2 years on the shelf,.
    The re-assembled front suspension/brakes (now on te right way round),
    I've re jiged the tracking/camber so i've now lost the spacers and managed to get the legs out with a stearing spacer kit.

    still stalled on the engine front, lack of money & compitance may see me putting a std engine back in for now :-(, gearbox will have to wait aswell.

    i should be collecting the rear seat & qtr cards this week, they've only been waiting 3yrs...

      Well, I've been over to the trimmers again and i got away with my rear seat bottom.
      had a mair trying to get it fitted in the rain, rollcage out (not easy) seat out, read belt bottom bracket fouling seat (bent back with big hammer). wiring loom moved over to clear.

      what do you all think so far?

      piping & stitch is same colour as the car

            Looks like nice trim, like how the stitching is the same as body colour.
            Just a wee bit different

                      Little update,

                      Thing are really slow, got a little further with the back of the interior (Thanks Neil), also got a door strip covered to see what it's like (options plaese)

                      should get the rear quaters earlt next week so the cage can go back in.

                      also the engine should be back from the machine shop ready to start assembly for monday......

                      it's gonna be tight but all things come to those who wait lol

                            Still waiting for engine to return...

                            but i did get the interior finished minus the front seats as there still not ready either :-(

                            but thought i'd give you a couple of pics instead







                            engine should be back this weekend???

                            Seats should be back before lakes (or i'm gonna fit a milk crate)

                              Lovin the interior mate its well nice. Who do you use if its not a rude question. Car looks well nice unfortunately I have a Fiesta RS 1800 and cant part with it or would like an old skool motor but need to win on the lotto first.
