It's best time to do it .
Going to be very careful when putting car back together

Make sure the carpet doesn't get distorted if cleaned out of the car. I haven't got a clue but Edd on wheeler dealers always says to do it in the car to keep the shape.

Cheers Tel , had the carpet in my classic done with no problems

A little update

Final two top coats on front end .
Air con rad fitted
Binned the rear bumper bar also as very rusty . Picked up a mint replacement
Rest of car stripped down and now just need to get some spare wheels and it's off to the body shop

Great job,at least the shell looks strong,

Keep it up.

See no jokes about it being blue

[Steve_PPP]

Great job mate, front end looks like its progressing well

Another little update.
On Clive's recommendation I went down to SPR coachworks for a look around and chat about my car.
OMG what a place , and great guys.
A few of the cars I was Showed. E30 M3 having some serious work, GT 40, audi quatro turbo, mustang, a few porkas, a 22B
Any how decision now made , it's going to them .
Take a look guys
www.sprcoachworks.co.uk


Have refurbished the TMIC , well pleased with the result .

Started by rubbing down the complete IC and all brackets attached to it,then covered the fins as I didn't want heavy paint on them .





The old cover( bottom) was tatty , so I painted the replacement , fitted new mesh and new sticker.








Steve PPP very kindly loaded his car up with his old wheels for me , top man Steve, big thanks, can now get it finally on a trailer.
Looking more like an impreza 1.6 GL

No worries mate, good to see what you've done to the P1 and have a bit of a chinwag. Like we were saying yesterday, these forums are all about helping folk out

(and the wheels were taking up valuable bbq space in my shed lol)

Thanks honey, not looking too bad yourself

[ralliart didz]

well done martyn,that ic looks brand new m8 wots happening too your wheels are they being painted or are they already good nick.

Cheers Didz , the wheels are mint, just being super anal , I don't want any overspray on them , and it gives me the time to give them some more loving
Once car is away I'm going to take everything off engine so I can get the dremmel out and clean ur up , followed by paint of course

[AndyWRX]

Comming along nicely mate, that top mount looks rather clean

[Skullfudge]

Martyn ... do yourself a favour and go buy some baggy trousers.

When you see you P1 painted you will be walking around for a week with a semi very evident to all.

Lol, I will pick it up commando
Honestly can't wait mate.
Going to be so paranoid about marking it when I'm putting it all back together.
Putting engine back in will be a very carefully operation with wings etc well and truly covered up

[SpecB]

Looking great, have you seen the group buys on scabby net for the bolt sets etc. probably worth a look to finish the engine bay of to the same std.

Hi Nick
There was group buy on P1WOC a while back , and Steve the previous owner treated the engine bay to the whole kit , he also gave me all the left over items .
So it's pretty much there anyway
Cheers for the post though mate .
