right so youve been working on it for about a week and your already caught up with me (i started 6mths ago)

just keep the pics coming,

oh and another thing i remembered about the servo, LHD versions seem to be bigger than the RHD versions, but again i need to check the capacities relative to diameter

[Brycey]

Clinical and efficient.

That picture shows everything you are about, you just improve on what is there and make things the way they should of been.

I have much respect for you and the project you are undertaking, as with your previous projects i'm sure you have thought up every possible outcome of any problems you will encounter. So I await further updates and the inevitable outcome of being the best all round fiesta ever made.

Good Luck.

Good to see some enthusiasm's back in town. The work you're doing now gives huge satisfaction afterwards. You'll have a beasty neck afterwards too! I've been looking everywhere for a suitable A/C switch to operate my mini fridge from the driver's seat, I think you've just shown me exactly what is needed Good work Marco

[Captain Tightpants]

Excellent work!

Did you suck on the old hosepipe dude?!

Steve

[Excursion]

Ben - You might want to have a word with Project from this site as he is running one of the H4 Bi-Xenon kits

Ian - Thanks, sounds like an Ibiza one is the best so far, just need to know piston size.

Brycey Cheers For me the enjoyment I get out of the car is relative to the effort I put into it, hopefully it will all turn out to plan

Jim - Awesome idea, you can't beat having a cold beer close at hand! Part number is 6633981 and it's around £10 all in.

Mr. Steve - Yes I did! Didn't get any in my mouth though like you were obviously hoping

[FezzR]

Mr. Steve - Yes I did! Didn't get any in my mouth though like you were obviously hoping

how funny trust you smiler

[heeman10]

Cheers for that....a boot-mounted cooler is the ultimate for those summer drives and shows I may just use a chilled bladder and a long straw routed under the plastic sill covers, up the A-pillar and into my mouth

I drained my tank by removing the inlet/outlet pipes and blowing into one while draining from the other. Nice and neat, but diesel tastes SO rank

[Captain Tightpants]

Diesel is absoloutely rank. I once swallowed some!!

Felt sick for a week.

Bring on water powered engines.

Steve

[heeman10]

Mmm Vimto-powered Yeah I did feel ill for a while Steve. It's so hard to keep your coordination and not just suck it all in every now and then

[Captain Tightpants]

Oooh VIMTO!!

We ave a drink called VC. A splash of Vimto, and a pint of CIDER!

A refreshing drink.

Also makes your legs drunk. Only your legs though, very strange......

[Captain Tightpants]

And Mr. Pez, a quick drink lesson for you bloody northerners!!

Cider & Black - Cider with a dash of blackcurrant cordial,
Snakebite - Half a Cider, and Half a Lager
Snakebite & Black - Half a Cider, and half a Lager, with a dash of Blackcurrant cordial
VC - Pint of proper Somerset cider (The orange coloured stuff!) and a dash of Vimto.

Steve

[Max M4X WW]

Snakebite - Half a Cider, and Half a Lager
Snakebite & Black - Half a Cider, and half a Lager, with a dash of Blackcurrant cordial

They are both too easy to drink

[Pez]

Yep Max, correct, often known as girls, or students drinks in the north. You dont need to be giving me lessons on alcohol matey, although, when you say Vimto, i took it as blackcurrent, not out and out Vimto, but i know the rest

[FezzR]

Snakebite and Black is called Diesel

And if you want Vimto try Pint Glass with ice, Double shot of Port and a Bottle WKD Blu. Named Cheeky Vimto It looks,smells and tastes like vimto!

Ask people about my kerrrazy drinks i make up, and yes i work behind a bar

[FezzR]

someone i know drinks rum and milk

[Capri]

Weston's Scrumpy all the way 7.5% and £3.96 for 2 litres. Nice stuff too, I think - although nobody else seems to. Can you tell I'm a student?

[RS_Rawli]

i had a pint of that crazy vimto after a few tins of stella


ended up in my gfs shower with it on full cold

thats evil

[Excursion]

Ahh Snakebite, I love getting that wrecked. I'm not usually fussy about drink names at Uni me & chums all chip in for bottles of random spirits and pour them into a bucket with some mixers.

We call it the BIN OF DEATH

[purple_fiesta]

absinthe is pretty nasty stuff, my friend had 4 double shots when we were on holiday, was projectile spewing then passed out! was funny as

[Brycey]

Our weatherspoons had never heard of Cheeky Vimto (See that rawli, NOT crazy vimto - numptey ) Now they serve us it by the pitcher

8Shot of port and 3 bottles of WKD - £9

One cheeky vimto is 25% ( Port = 20% and Bottle of WKD is 5% )

Absinthe is alright, our manager gets in russian vodka Now thats evil stuff! Like 70% and like syrup!

pimsle @ Bin of Death!

Got a hankering for Double Baileys and Double Jamesons over ice atm

[Captain Tightpants]

One cheeky vimto is 25%

Your joking right?

Steve

[RS_Rawli]

lol, sorry i did mean cheeky vimto, anyway, its nice, but it fucks u up royal

[Andi]

One cheeky vimto is 25% ( Port = 20% and Bottle of WKD is 5% )

Don't think it's that easy to work out, the WKD will actually water it down because its less %, it won't jump up like that...

[MAD_Adamski]

nice mark i remember me doing my underside of my RS total nightmare took me weeks to do it but worth it in the end

[RS_Rawli]

yeah, probably about 17% if you ratio the volumes

[Brycey]

Probably,i just read the bottles as im mixing them

And yes it gets you proper f**cked.

Another one is a bottle of Smirnoff Ice with a shot of Blue Aftershock in it

[Excursion]

nice mark i remember me doing my underside of my RS total nightmare took me weeks to do it but worth it in the end

Looks awesome mate!

What sort of prep work did you do before paint? Is that fresh underseal I can see under the paint?

Got any tips for removing undeseal from those hard to reach places? (What a crappy job that is, I was coverd in greasy muck today! )

[muz]

aahhhh we aint the only ones who do that....wonder if jim did actually recover...

[FezzR]

Absinthe and orange reef, the crazy things you try on a mates 21st
i actually quite like it, but at £4 a go certanly not worth the price tag

[FezzR]

as for hard to reach underseal, ive given up, got fed up gonna buy "someone" a shot blaster and see what results we can get with that

[Excursion]

A very minor update.

I need to replace the cable actuated Mk3 heater controls as I will be using a Mk5 ventilation system. The mk5 has electronically actuated temperature adjustment.

I had a play around with an old mk5 heater control panel.


Here is where I will be mounting it. This was just a 15 minute test fit; the panel will be straightend out and cut to exact size on the final version. When finished it will look like it was there from the factory.


Test fit of Mk5 instrument cluster in the Mk3 dash.

[Richardson]

Jesus, how did you take a picture and drive that fast at the same time?
