[Alexiskayak_7]

It's great etches!!!
I'm lovin it with the black mo's

[Etches]

Cheers man!

Did some work on this at the weekend, finally got round to fitting some parts I've had in the cellar for a while.

Got a mate to weld me some shizzle together (Y)



Got the brace made up by a mate by Stinky Pete , was a little short but still fit. My mate Bradders TIG welder had fun



Wanted one to stiffen up the back end and to mount harnesses to.

Got some seats cheap as an inbetween , ended up chopping the frames down as my head touched the roof.



Need to spray the frames up, but lobbed em in all the same.



Needed harness mount points in the centre  so had to take all the crap out first, no rust holes yet!



and the new OMP mounts



Just need to sort some exterior surface rust before Leeds now!

Nice to meet you on the Saturday, didn't get to catch up with you Sunday, but was cool to see your g40 on the stand, looked sweet.

got a photo;

[Etches]

Must have been early doors you popped up to my car dude as it had the bonnet open for 90% of the day! Annoying that I missed you and didn't see Pete either! Yours looks immaculate 

[Jester]

yea spotted it straight away, I got to have a good nosey under the bonnet as came back for a second look later haha, looked nice in there, never seen a turbo'd one in the flesh but can tell you've put alot of work in!

I never saw Pete either haha

[Etches]

Still needs a fair amount sorting out, I mainly wish I'd properly cleaned and painted the bay with the engine out! Plenty of stuff to be doing out over winter though. If only the body work was as immaculate as yours  

[z3i]

No ones car is as clean as Jesters! Infact its probably cleaner than when it rolled off the production line!!

[Etches]

Just cleaned, polished at waxed this for Vw Action. First time its been waxed since my ownership....

[z3i]

Whats your rocker cover off mate? id like one in gloss black

[Etches]

Mk2 alloy rocker Talor

Small Update,

Raid snap off and OMP Trecento 300mm wheel.





It's the start of an OMP covered interior hopefully.

[Etches]

Few updates;

Two new Stack gauges, I will be getting Oil Temperature and Oil pressure ones shortly. Also heavy duty connection block, 150 amp fuse holder with fuse and battery terminals. All from here http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu which is a really decent website for all your electrical needs. Battery is going to be relocated in the boot when I manage to find a decent priced box for it.



Moved the AFR into the heater vent so I could use the pod for the new boost gauge.



Drove to Bury the other night and collected two Alpine white doors and an Alpine bonnet. Need to sort out the central locking before swapping them over but it should tidy up the currently rusty looking doors.



A quick one of the stack volts gauge. If anyone has a boss rubber cover laying around gimmmie a shout as I need one!

[Etches]

New panels, going to be sorted out over the winter months for spring freshness next year.



Didn't realise how bright these are



bright like a christmas tree
