I see you've managed to get all the sound deadening off the floor pan, thats the hardest part of the project so it's all plain sailing from now on!! :) yep did that back in my school days when i should have been doing home work 
they chassis is probably not the best to start with, alot of corners cut when i was younger but it really is solid just alot of patches, it was my first car so it stays the rest at the minute is money no object (untill our lass finds out  )

On 14th Jan, 2009 theoneeyedlizard said: that just had to go... lol i could not get my seat in the position i felt comfortable with so it went, another corner cut when i was younger, the plan was to build a "floor cage" around the floor tie-ing into the front/rear and rear/front subframe mounts then to build a cage up from that, but i decided the cage should be removeable,

it will be going in carbed up atm, then turbo later unless i can get my hands on a good running T2 for not alot of cash. john might have told you i almost bought his spi gear aswell i was going to do a fuel injected turbo but after toying with the idea and a trawl through the efi section i decided against it save that for next time lol i want to get the chassis built solid so i can focus on developing the engine :) Edited by Brett on 14th Jan, 2009.

you may want to re think how you have mounted the lines, the bit where it rolls over the seat pan edge will cause issues with rubbing, and you will have further problems at the gearstick end too. i would recomend putting h pipes through the heel board (under the seat) but make sure you use rubber grommets. this will also look much tidy'er too. then the same at the bulkhead end. just an opinion, but you are risking it with the current setup IMHO.

Richie yes you are quite right Richie the fuel lines rubbed groves into the seat pan and also shows signs of rubbing on the fuel lines this time round im liking the solid copper lines approach, the over braided stuff was ptfe lined plastic tubes made it a twat to work with, wont be used again lol On 14th Jan, 2009 Mr Joshua said:

yeah i used 8mm copper micro bore and plastic P clips. if running the lines inside keep them central in the car ie up the tunnel this will offer more protection from ruptures if you are involved in a side impact.

Minisport are utter shite. I placed an order for 2 front indicators and lenses, a bumber and a grille and it took 8 weeks. Oh, and they forgot one of the indicators but didn't bother to tell me
