After a quick measure up, the k12 dash section won't fit- but the almera one is going to come in handy ;)

The one in the first picture is a lower dash cup holder from a k12, the second picture was one from an almera ;) Think I'll have to use fibreglass (much as I hate the stuff!)

As for these... I'm sure you can work out what my next "experiment" is all about ;-)

.

Got some nearly new boot struts from an almera yesterday:

The car had been running a little rough on idle and had cut out a coupla times- so I changed the dizzy cap and rotor arm. The old rotor arm was well and truly worn down and pitted on the contact: And the points on the distributor cap had almost worn in half!- crumbly as hell through corrosion...

Lacquered the grill:

New plates came today: Got them fitted, fixed a small problem with the diaphragm on the awooogah horn, adjusted the panhard rod (again), and ruined a perfectly good set of preface rear lights (doh!). Oh... And this happened: Still needs a couple more coats & flatting before lacquer- but it's...

Thanks Chloe :)

Managed to get the centre section remounted properly- no blowing now :) Couldn't resist driving him to work today :) And a cheeky edited one:

Well, little Charlie is all back together now, taxed and insured and been out for a wee road test this evening! Apart from some minor adjustments needed to the setup of the panhard rod, and a rather foul blow coming from the join (midpipe to downpipe)- mainly I think because I've either...

Well... More properly than scotch locks

New downpipe fitted- took a lot less time than getting the old one off! New midpipe and stronger hanger fitted up- not fully nipped up and sealed yet as I need to get the backbox back on first: Proper hectic week coming up, so I don't think I'm gonna get much else done on the car now...

Shush now Chloe :p

Agreed- generally don't start him up with the door shut. The majority of the "smoke" is actually dust off the floor btw- just before anyone starts screaming H/G failure at me :-p

Spent most of yesterday evening staring at this: And wrangling with the stubborn bolts.... ...today I just hacked the midpipe to bits, and removed the frontpipe- gonna order a new frontpipe and keep things simple:

Finally got the back box off! ...and acquired some new bits to put the new midpipe on (new total spend = £620): And got the horn switch finished and everything back in the dash: 39 days until the next deadline, and not too many things left on the jobs list once the exhaust is back on

Illegal to use it on the road (which is why I've got it running on a separate circuit), but yeah it's a lot louder. The stock horn is about 60db- the awooogah horn is about 90... My stebel horn (main one that I replaced the stock one with) is 139db- and to put that into perspective, +20db is...
