Mk2 Mex Resto (Major)

[M11RF]

Ordered a Viynl Roof from Aldridge Trimming the other week...
And there is no more to say than... :boom: what a stinking pile of poo!!

Basically, its 3 pieces of viynl stuck together - THATS IT! Not even any glue "i`m sorry sir but we aren`t allowed to send that in the post"

No trimming, no nothing - surfice to say, its back in the post on its merry way to Wolverhampton :boid:

Also ordered the windscreen and rear screen seals... On the web site under RS2000... asked on the phone - yes they are the RS2000 ones -

THERE THE BLOODY GHIA ONES!

So not a very eventfull week!

Fuel pipe has come and is waiting to be clipped into place...
Done a few more bits and bobs... Its getting there i suppose!!

[Robb]

So thats put you off a vinyl roof then?

[M11RF]

No mate... i`m going to get a pro in to do the job...
It`ll be the only job i`m contracting out... So to speak
£160 and he supplies and fits it.
At least it will be done right too...

Maybe if i did it, it would have turned out o.k... but its a lot of money to waste, when for an extra £60, its garaunteed...

[M11RF]

Fuel lines plumbed up, new washers on carbs, and it now runs!!
Was well impressed, i`ve srtipped the loom back to bare basics and made it up myself,
took me ages but now its nearly there, just got the indicator set up to wire in!!
The jobs are gtting less and less now!
Need to get some seats pretty sharpish as the fishnets have long gone!
So if you know anyone with any Cobra Imola 2`s in black and blue let me know!
Cash Waiting!

A pic of my brother filling up the tank the other day... Still need to give him the £4-50
for the juice!!

WONT BE LONG NOW!!

Looking good Mate Your going to need a bigger fuel can tho to keep that tank full :albino:

[M11RF]

Well... i got myself some seats... Cobra Imola 2s
But they didn`t fit too good, so as a bit of an after thought (there have
been a few of these now) i decided that i needed a frame to sit them on,
so i`ve have to weld a frame in for them to sit on and ruin my lovely
floor.
But they do look nice in the car
Also made some strengthner plate for the gear box and some floor plate
for the foot wells. fuel line and rear wiring in place, still need to wire the
dreaded indicator flasher unit up some how... But i`m not sure about it!!
My brother has bought a mk1 escort and i`ve been doing work on that
with him... So thats why i have`nt got much done!! sin2
A few pics...
