welldone mate, car looks excellent.

how much have you lowered the car by? I am interested in this as I am planning on the same for mine, a mate of mine is flaring the front wings and the rear arches but I am unsure on what kind of set up to bring the car down enough without destroying the handling of the car.

Was looking at the bits where you did rear spring area of chassis, if you weren't so far away I think I'd have got you to do mine! That said I'm coping, now I have started I am quite enjoying it.

Cut out the rotten stuff, the outer skin is knackered, the inner is fine, photo in my wip.

bit of an update.

fitted my corbeau racing seats, more of a comfort seat than race seat and looks the part. certainly doesnt look out of place.

much more comfortable than all of the other seats i have used

added extra decals the bonnet decal has been replaced as the one that was on it was tiny and looked all wrong.
added cleland to the rear windows

getting both sides and the rear end redone after xmas

started stripping and painting wheel arches then finishing with dinatrol 447 stonechip.
removing all existing underseal removing rust and welding where required.

this car was probably worse for rust than all of the cavs on this forum. i have repair it in all the areas that go, everywhere!!!

the top pic is of it finished

btcctroy · Post by **btcctroy** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 12:56 pm

just started this cut it out using the plasma cutter. the rust above the whole will also be remove it just easier rebuilding in stages rather than in one go with the amount of curves a wheel arch has

btcctroy · Post by **btcctroy** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 1:01 pm

finally a couple of pics of my ecu i have built from scratch.

its a megasquirt 2 v3 that im retro fitting to a motronic case. i have soldered the who thing together and took me ages with all the testing required.

still not quite finished but there is no major rush. i just want it right.
