Project Cordy - My old 16v reborn

[Icecavern]

Well I have 1 evening to get those boxes finished ( tonight ) as it's the Reading meet tomorrow night... The interior isn't very messy, mainly because the car doesn't have one anyway It has a dash, a carpet ( which is being replaced ) and a drivers seat.

I'm planning on ripping the dash out completely and building my own from scratch. None of this cut and shut from another car lark

That's going to be some install, will your missus mind losing you to the garage for the next 6 months, constant stinking of fibreglass and rubbing compounds, never mind what will look like the contents of the sahara desert blowing through the house

One seat? You've got plenty of space to be creative!!

Looking good Pete and coming together nicely, here is some Dashboard inspiration for you

Well she has her orchestra, I have a car project

There will be two seats eventually. Got some Boxster front seats to go in, but I need to sort out some subframes. I was going to get Stu to make some but I think I missed my deadline on that one

Rudd - Yeah it's OK... I know what the dash will be like in my head, not quite like that but close-ish...

 

[F2 Stu]

Deadline? info info info.....

I thought you needed to know a couple of weeks ago the measurements so you could make them mate?

If there's still time I'll get the tape measure and camera out tonight and get the seat runners measured up

 

[F2 Stu]

You do that

 

[andyj]

that told you !!

 

[Icecavern]

You do that

I will mate as soon as I get home. You need pics of the bottom of the seat runners and some measurements yeah?

 

[Icecavern]

Didn't get home 'til late last nght Stu, but I have a pic and dimensions now, will get them to you as soon as I can find the cable for B's camera

Figured it was about time for an update on this thread...

Porka seats still aren't fitted. I think Stu forgot to look at the seat mounts for me

And... well... nothing else has happened

What with the weather, lack of time, and just general lack of enthusiasm I've not done anything at all on the car, just drive it about.

Plans are a-foot though. I'm looking to buy a Mk3 Ibiza Cupra in the near future. Then spend a week or so stripping both cars and swapping the entire front end over from the Mk3, engine and bodywork. That will give me 20vt power, and Mk3 Ibiza front end all in one go

Still trying to find a Mk3 Cordoba in a breakers to get the rear bumper, boot lid and lights off it but no luck so far

The weather is picking up at the minute too so I'm hoping I can get going on the interior again, but I still need to work out exactly how I'm going to do it all.

So there's an update, of sorts, to say there's been no update

Excuse me? Ball was in your court last time we spoke about it.

 

[Icecavern]

hehehe check you're PM's mate

 

[Big_Lad]

good effort with your car Pete, just spent the last 30 minutes reading the whole thread to date.

You got round to spraying your mirrors yet?

 

[Icecavern]

Thanks

No, the mirrors will be sprayed along with the rest of the car. I'll let the pros sort it out for me lol

 

[Icecavern]

Just realized that it's been almost a year since I last updated this thread. Mainly as there's been no progress

First off I was too busy driving the car to be ripping it apart. Then it's taken me since August to get a new MOT

But yesterday I got a new MOT and tax and now she's road worthy again. One day I'll get time to spend on the car, but for now I'll just enjoy driving
