No sharp edges there mate Smile

Notice how even the corners are not present Wink

**Grant** · 13-08-2013, 08:13 PM

So got handy with the welder today.

Welded some studs onto the exhaust tunnel to mount this:

Notice how I have no pictures of the welds, as they are messy as shit. Hammered them around a bit and they stayed put so I'm happy they'll hold...

And onto the above mounts this:

Thinking of putting the ignition barrel in the switch panel, but with my track record I am unsure as to if I want to be fettling with ignition wiring haha!

Dum-Dum · 14-08-2013, 06:26 AM

How does it release or are you plumbing it in?

**Grant** · 14-08-2013, 06:53 AM

It will be plumbed in. I'm going to fit a cable release eventually. Short term it will go to a head in the engine bay released via the pressure handle Smile

**Ed Doe** · 14-08-2013, 06:58 AM

Are you planning on tracking it anytime soon, or just putting more bits in it?! Tongue

Think it has about the same chance of going on track as the last one Tongue

**Grant** · 14-08-2013, 07:11 AM

Beginning with my next paycheck, I am saving for show season next year so I can go on track! Lol

Need new tyres all round next month Sad

I'm keeping this car till I have a house now. A new one is not an option. I have a feeling ill be dragging it through life flogging it like a dead horse lol

**Grant** · 15-08-2013, 07:29 PM

**Grant** · 15-08-2013, 07:36 PM

So got in from work today. Headed straight to nialls and within 3 minutes of putting the coffee down (no lie, 3 minutes) we had the car looking like this:

In order to fit the ph3 bumper, rallye blanks and espace splitter

Cheers dude. When I get the money lol. Pockets are empty at the moment. Just occupying myself with fitting all the stuff I already have/stuff I can make Smile

**Scott** · 15-08-2013, 09:58 PM

That looks much tidier with the new bumper buddy! You don't hang about though do you lol

You only picked it up yesterday

**Just Sean** · 15-08-2013, 10:31 PM

Bumpers looking smart mate! Smile

**samass** · 15-08-2013, 10:32 PM

looks shit.

**Grant** · 19-08-2013, 09:32 AM

So had a rather productive day yesterday. Scott lent a hand so got a fair bit done.

Started the day with a sausage and bacon sandwich, standard!

Managed to continue with the switch panel. Because race car.

Also wired in and labelled the switches for the engine fans.

And removed the standard battery and wired in the rear, smaller, becauseracecar battery.

Also changed the oil and oil filter. Got new plugs and fuel filter.

Still need to chop the turrets about to allow me to adjust the adjustable top mounts for camber. Need to under seal the arches and fix the bloody gearbox oil leak. Cambelt may be a good idea too! haha

Midnightclub · 19-08-2013, 09:37 AM

Loving the becauseRACECAR look

**Grant** · 19-08-2013, 01:20 PM

A tappy gti engine that's been sat for god knows how long without being turned over. I'm ok thanks

:p

floz123 · 19-08-2013, 01:57 PM

Still got the 1.8 should you want it..... Wink

**Grant** · (This post was last modified: 19-08-2013, 10:47 PM by Grant.)

Haha I've thought about it mate, believe me, I miss my old 1.8. Funds are better placed elsewhere at the moment though dude. Such as getting it mechanically reliable Wink

Oh and just for the record, Niall's 6 is not any quicker than this. Just saying....

Dum-Dum · 20-08-2013, 01:36 PM

What have you done about the steering lock now you've moved the ignition barrel?

**Grant** · 20-08-2013, 01:45 PM

Fitted an electronic keypad wich activates the steering lock pin from a second barrel

**Ed Doe** · 20-08-2013, 01:48 PM

Oh GOD, Grant, I love you to bits.... but electrics aren't your strong point!!!

**ginge191** · 20-08-2013, 01:53 PM

French electrics are no ones strong point; not even the French's.
Cars looking awesome! Nice mods mate

**Ed Doe** · 20-08-2013, 01:57 PM

Ask grant about his keyless start....

**Grant** · 20-08-2013, 02:00 PM

Cheers Steve

Ed, I haven't wired anything in/changed any wiring at all. It's all standard. Just moved the barrel

**Niall** · 20-08-2013, 05:20 PM
