i would have loved that as a child, something like lambo doors on one of the little tikes coupe's lmaodo you have a business? because if you dont you should start one doing this, people want anything made, they come to you!! lol

cheer pal , i keep trying to get a bit done here and there
not mutch to had due to been bisy ,but managed to make a swirl pot ad it in the tank and fit the high pressure pump and pipe it up and fit the vr6 fuel sender too , so the fuel gauge works
and going fit the hx40 cold side onto this smaller hotside 14 , which will make the dam thing pull ,

what an epic build thread! i wish i had just a bit of that knowledge and ability! will be awesome to see what this is like finished, great work!
more mad replys lmao ,,,, its only cut chop ,modify and fit lmao
cheers guys , ive no think billet alloy , im affraid otherwise i would have made some wider wheel spacers lol
, today thought best sort the rain tray out , to save my heater draging hot air and melting my plastic heater mesh lmao
first quick bit of tin cut trimed and welded in place
then a quick bit of mesh cut down , to cover it all up
and gas strut to lift bonet was going to make it electric lmao(getting carried away again )
poped a quick carpet in ,and welded seats in/added seats belts
fuel, tank refitted and wired up too and fuel gauges works a treat too

ok for a first attempt matey ,,,be better if i could find some pillar trims to modify too
not mutch 2day dam wheather ,
fitted brake compansators dosent seem to make mutch differnce with the pedal height
and had the mot man up 2day to come veiw the car and have a check around
pointers i need to do
remove side pipe for mot
fit indactors (front)
too rear tyres
1 seat belt to change has a frade part
one suspension top mount ,has movement ,
other then this everythings go go go
apart from this for the time being , need to sort rear haldex controller and fit the propshaft.. spray and fill will come later , but had to give it 10min rub over
fitted radio an speakers too lol

just remade the propshaft ,and im 100percent happy with it , with thicker tube , nice strong stick welded , done in lathe too
to save any wooble
and found a lump of 4inch alloy tube ideal for makeing a few things for future , ie alloy turbo short runner, air intake, maybe a new side pipeideas are endless

no worries its because a side pipe is illegal to be fitted to a car unless it is classed as a kit car or made from factory with one , so ill have to remove it for the mot , grrIts coming on nicely. Silly question tho why have you got to remove side pipe for mot
lol , im thinking about have a go at alloy welding and make a nice shiny short runner with the end caps etc , pillar trims never seen ibiza ones , whats the differnce , unsure if they would fit on a mk1? and sterro , was fed up of sinceing the hole in the dash lolsave the locking top section for me as my rod needs a fuel cap
pillar trims mmmm how about attaching ibiza ones over top of orignal ?
stereo ? what the hell you need one for
bit morethis afternoon, trail fit of the standard bumper as im undecided wheather i like it or not , ,i might just thow those other homemade ones one for the time
then thought might as well thow the propshaft on , fits like a glove
and quick sterro pic
then thought i better chop a lump of pipe and start on the airfilter as theres not mutch room runing a 4inch pipe , im thinking i need cold air so going to chop a hole in the inner wing and one in the bonett ,thow a scoop on the bonett somert i dint want to do , but with all that turbo/engine heat , i may have to do it , im also going to run a 4inch pipe inside the inner wing , which will blow nicely into the airfilter

it's great to see all the fab work you've done. Can't wait to see it once it's driving. And turboing the machinery is fantastic 
Very very clever. The engineering involved in this car is crazy!
I may have missed already in the thread, but are you tidying all of the outside once it is running etc? If so what colour you going for?
Top job though!

still looking good 
making good progress,
keep the bumper off, sticks out to far IMO
just smooth it out

well hit a few problems on test run , first couldnt see the gauges as there were too low , so , a quick rip out and re instail on the top of the dash sorted that out
then im havin turbo problems , ie late spooling and too mutch eccess smoke which im sure is from the hx40 . so had to re do and make a combo (hybrid/with hx40 and a t3/14 houseing ,this should alter things nicely
but then i think thge problem isnt the turbo at fault but the angle of the return oil feed pipe , grrr , which to move this or angle this means makeing another complete manifold , so ,may be a while longer now
