My WIP

[rayray086]

Yeah, post them up! Mine's looking bloody terrible at the moment. Matt and Simon at CamdenGTI just did my fronts and because I wanted to stay narrow-track, it was a big pain. Thanks goes to both of them for persevering on.

nice work mate, seeing this makes me want to go out and get my DIY on! looks good now, but it will be even better when all the different aspects of the car are finished and tie the theme of the car together (Smooth Operations would be a good name for the project i think haha).

[Lukev85]

hey ray,

any updates mate, hows the DIY?

[rayray086]

Hey Luke, not much done since the front brakes - I decided to go narrow track, but it's not working out. The driver-side drive shaft rubs at full lock and so does the driver-side wheel on the inner mud guards. I think there's no easy way around it. I'd have to go wide-track. I'll be giving Matt a call again pretty soon haha.

I've been really lazy the past week or two.

Oh, I can think of one thing - bought fabric for redoing the headliner, door cards and pillars. Pictures will come when I decide on doing it!

Why is this the first time I have stumbled across this thread??? Ray - this is awesome stuff. I might need to acquire your wheel knowledge shortly..

[Lukev85]

this is an awsome thread and great work by ray. cant see many guys out there putting this much sweat and blood into doing everything themselves (myself included).


A round of applause for you ray

[rayray086]

Haha cheers guys. Too bad most of the stuff done is quite dodgy... but I'll definitely be going over things properly. No more modding, just maintenance and improving on what I've got now!

We can maybe sought out your problem and see how it goes! Are you still making the trek to DOVW this yeaar?

[rayray086]
