Thanks for that Craig I'll have a look when i get some more spare time! I learnt to bulk buy after i didn't when i made my sub boxes :doh: If anyone's interested in doing any fibreglass body parts themselves, i highly recommend this thread...

A bit of a faff maybe, but it's not difficult, and it's cheaper than buying a new motor ;)

Not always, I've found it's usually only drivers over 25 they do that for..

yeah i was thinking of the backfilling method to be honest.. If i was to try the mould way, how would i go about getting the surface smooth on the mould then smooth on the copy taken from the mould? I've not really started research or anything to be honest, just a random idea i thought I'd...

Welcome to the club, If you're gonna facelift it, you'll need to swap the bonnet catch too. And side repeaters, the wiring will need changing on both the repeaters and headlights.

Well, we pay so we can see the guide, it wouldn't be fair if we then gave it out to everyone else! It's pretty simple though.

I've been thinking lately, is there anything stopping me from taking my wings, fibreglassing over them, pop off the fibreglass, add a few more layers, filler, finish and paint? Most likely only using a few mounts, ie. the two in the sill, under bonnet, then make one up for the front corner...

Welcome to the club, I'm sure you'll be loved here!

stick with the 1.3 turbo!

Not as far as i know matt, but i'm using a pulsar one, as are a few others.

Matt Humphris, 'mph' on here.

I'll be refitting the standard one when i get a chance, the nuts look pretty rusty though (when i say rusty, i mean so bad they're not even nut shaped anymore) so I'm not sure how far I'll get with no grinder! I think I'll look into getting it welded back up as i really can't afford another...

since december '07, so.. 17months :(

Glad i looked at this thread now! Love how it looks so far!

From what you've said, is there any chance the wiring where you put the key in is a bit dodgy and the heat breaks a joint or anything? Can't see how really, but from what you've said it might be worth checking?

Looks cool, nasty boot dent though!

Welcome to the club! :)

Well, my backbox has snapped! Gonna have to swap it over for the standard one tomorrow after work. Also, my gear lever linkage is getting more rattly by the day so I'm gonna need to take a look at that sometime soon..

That sucks mate! I assume you've tried all of the specialised 'modified car insurers'? Adrian Flux etc.

Like tom's said, I'd sell up and buy either a 1.3 or 1.4 engined car to start with.. Work's out easier and cheaper.. win win.
