Sorry Rob, missed this, sorry for your loss.

Nice, car part shopping is always fun
Can't wait to see them fitted.

Happy days! Repair over replace where possible.

Nice progress really

A bit belatedly it’s got another years MOT, though it’s spent most of the summer on axle stands trying to sort last year’s advisories out. I fitted used by me grooved rear discs & black diamond pads, whilst doing this I fitted the Goodrigde stainless braided flexible lines front & rear. Whi...

Interesting, sounds expensive that's for sure though.

Rather nicely done. So no standard ECU's and moved over to a the link module? Would love to know more about the wiring side of it

Neighbours are like everything else, good ones and bad ones sadly. Sounds like you're sandwiched between some asshats. Involve Environmental Health with your local council if the place is being treat like a scrap yard and is unsafe. Same with the dogs, if they are unable to control them, they should...

I wouldn't go removing material from the subframe, it'll weaken it significantly. and ultimately you'll be replacing it again.

Lanoguard is getting some good reviews for metal protection and after seeing it applied the other day, looks very easy to use.

Progress is progress Rob, and a happy surprise no doubt.

Not a fan of the vents, but hopefully they will serve a purpose?

The missus insisted that I got shut of the Yaris.
If I had kept it, then she would still be whinging now - lol.

I have no idea why VW parts cost so much.
As to why I pay - because the missus wants the van done.

Another theme emerging - lol.

Heh, I do feel bad about taking the Yaris off you, on occasion (but never for very long).
It'll come together, I personally will never understand why VW's command the money for parts that people pay though

Bonkers, it'll sort though. Anything is fixable

It's coming along Rob. It'll look great soon enough.

No worries, just noticed this one
We'll get some life breathed into the old Elonex at some point if you really want to

Smoke Grey hands down for me. I am biased though.

I think plastic welding is going to be your friend here rather than using that much body filler.

No fabrication yet fella... The glass window is buried under some panels, so no chance of test fitting and drawing the profile on the masking. Just more cutting out.... The suspension mount is usually badly rotten and hidden out of sight. But I was able jack the car up a few times without anything ...

Cheers, I'll see if I can get it to tension a bit better, the mk1 yaris has a pretty poor belt tension system sadly, basically lever and tighten. New alternator, new belt so it's not getting any new parts. I might see if I can retrofit the mk2 tensioner onto the mk1 as that's adjustable. Shall see. ...

Excellent, bit of fabrication, always fun (and frustrating at times).

Measure multiple times cut once, very gingerly

Interesting build, nice to see you getting stuck into it.

It seems to be, belt squeal re-occurred the other night which is annoying.
I'll see if I can get it to pull any tighter.

Cheers Rob, I don't think it's ever been as clean inside since.
Both radios have since gone too. Got some Philips unit in it now

I really should pull my finger out and get it looking properly. I can't believe how much power it seems to be delivering since replacing the alternator, very odd indeed.
