what have you done to your car today ?

[MoToJoJo]

Picked up some stuff from a local scrapyard. Dash, drivers side underdash (if that's the right term), dash brace, a couple of brackets, and some wiring. Not bad for £20.

Course now I have the stupid idea of upgrading my sim rig setup with a full dash because... ?

Love the Wrap but with regards to your dad I am sure you borrowed his car when you were younger and did not worry about the petrol, till it ran out anyway.

 

[Dazzalcr]

@tracktoy thanks bud, na my dad's done me a solid atm with messing my ankle up, fuel don't bother me or him having some fun with it but he needs to keep an eye on speedo or he won't have his license long lol, and my dad is a tight arse and would go up the wall if I did that in his he even said the same.

Looks ? I have been considering this myself, mainly because I've painstakingly tried to restore my roof paint from oxidisation, but it just too far gone.
If I may ask, what is a rough price bracket for this job?
Lol @ your boy racer dad, concrete right foot eh? ?

Cheers buddy I'm happy with it a few ppl have said it looks mint.
I had a bit if oxidation in black roof paint was good but some discoloration like a burn color, so thought I'd try something different with this wrap instead of black paint, you will no doubt have to take it to them like I did to make sure paints good for the wrap as they don't like cars our age due to paint condition. But the price was 300 for roof and spoiler if it had been normal carbon weave that would have been 250. Same as paint being painted up north so thoughts try s wrap.
My dad yeah heavy foot yep for sure he use to have a mk1 capri with race engine custom exhaust and paint with a firebird and pinstripes, this is where I get it from ?

Not quite big enough for that ?

I figure it'll be a fun project and (in theory) serves as a bit of an R&D platform for stuff to put in the car

Another year another passed MOT , couple of weeks advisories but nothing mental.

Had a morning in the shed this morning. Having a general fiddle and sort out.
This is just a massive project. Measuring , fixing together . Take it apart again ad bits in wrong place. We all know how it goes.
Making pipe work fit. And things line up. Every single part is head scratching. .
But in the end

It's done and we had a bbq.... in the work shop as it rained all bloody day

Just as an aside what octane fuel are you planning on running the car with.

Will more than likely get it mapped on v power.
But also get a secondy map for the BP 103. It's more available in Europe but is found at some BP near race tracks

 

[iammooks]

Slowly wanting to build a track car, but I'll need a car that drives first.

Starter motor seems to be slowly packing in. It's been a bit temperamental for a while, but the other day no amount of turning it off and on again sorted it... until it did.

Couple of YouTubers say they can be fixed but it's the original so maybe not. Any good replacement manufacturers? What would be a reasonable price to pay for one?
