HI GUYS , i'm bak after workin my socks off on the fez again today got a whole host of pics :-

thanks to project, and xrsi and the haynes manuels i managed to finish the main wiring on the car today!!!! :aviator:

well chuffed!!!!!

the best moment was after soldering the rest of the parts and heat shrinking and all that stuff i out the dash back on wired up the power cables and slapped the battery on for the first time in 18months :oooh:

????

i was crapping my self if i blew 20 fuses or the car set on fire or just nothing happened :oooh:

but

i connected after a few seconds the alarm started bleeping the lights were flashing when they were meant too and it all worked so far!!!!

and no fires!!!! well chuffed.....

inbetween doin this and that i also manafed to fibreglass and fill the skirts and rub them down got to the filler stage then ran out of time so few more hours on them nxt week and they will be ready for priming and then painting :wink:

also gonna be painting the wing mirrors and maybe the rear bumper too

then the bit i'd been waiting for finally tonight the doors were painted

so by nxt week they will be ready for building up, being putting on my my mate in the nxt few days and that will be another piece of the jigsaw done :lol:

so all in all quite a bit done alot to go but all looking good

comments welcome

cheers Ad

That's great, I'm glad all the wiring's in and working as it should. When there are so many wires that you've played around with, the likelihood of it all doing what it should seems so distant :lol:

How hard is it to modify the skirts for fit mate at the front? I've been looking into doing this for ages but wanted some opinions of people that have done it.

Cheers mate

Cars looking great BTW

by **MAD_Adamski** on Thu Mar 24, 2005 4:06 pm

Been working hard again today managed to get the doors on and build them up in a fashion just gotta get the glass and the cards on :wink:

..

put my seats in altho ths does it no justice as the pics were a bit poor due to jamie sweeping up and the dust was in the air...

just for good measure got a pic or 2 of ours together as he was rushing to go so i didnt get any good pics of wot i managed to do today...

but i got my skirts ready today they just need painting now aswell as the mk3.5 mirrors they just need painting so hopefully soon have the skirts and mirrors on, and maybe jamie will finish the rear bumper too and do that the same time?? i hope :lol:

still got lots to do on tues if i can fit it all in...

cheers Ad :wink:

Starting to come along really well, just looked through the previous pages, love all the ideas behind this even just the small details stand out so much.

When do you think it will be finished (probably heard it a million times), would it be ready for FITP would be great to see it in flesh

Brilliant work

Cellze

by **MAD_Adamski** on Mon Mar 28, 2005 10:16 am

the car won't be ready for fitp, as the shell will be but i still have to build the engine :rolleyes:

the car will be put into storage in the near future when everything is ready on the shell so when the engine is done i can just slap it in get it mapped then its done

cheers Ad

by **MAD_Adamski** on Tue Mar 29, 2005 10:00 pm

been busy again today got the pass door card to fit repainted it and rewired the window switches and extended them for the new switches :rolleyes:

also got the door glass in just awaiting some catches off jay @ x-factor to keep the doors shut...

the driver door was next to a wall :rolleyes:

so didn't do much to that today but i got the roof lining fitting everywhere now so thats sorted... the seats are in just gotta get the wingmirrors painted up slap them on and the skirts...

the boot being a homo and wont shut so gotta get a new catch :rolleyes:

the interior is nearly there now just gotta sort the other door out another couple of covers then all sorted ...

also got few of the shiny bits on today

still long way to go sorry bout the pic quality forgot my digicam :rolleyes:

had to use the cam phone!!!! :lol:

cheers Ad

by **heeman10** on Tue Mar 29, 2005 11:13 pm

Your car looks such a horrid pooey blue in those pics, good job we know better!!

Ad, you REALLY need to start thinking about an engine etc, this is getting silly!! :lol:

The boot latch - what exactly is it doing? Are you using a remote boot release? If so, make sure you have the door latch release rods (boot release mechanism and key lock mechanism) connected to the right receivers in the latch. One's longer than the other..just a thought

The front end on that thing's so mental :lol:

the paint changes blue mate you will see when you finally see it

.. the engine wil be started mate trust me just wanna make sure everything else perfect first :wink:

...

the boot is fitted perfect the catch is right too and i tried moving the latch but its just not working, i think its cause im using a new catch off my old xr (it was newer) but think it is damaged looks filed??? :-?

so gonna get a new one

i'll get there its all fun!!!

Adamski FRST :

is that just a weird thing from the camera or have you got something swanky going on with your door cards? is the middle leathered? or have i mistaken the underneath of the door card :lol:

chrome handles look real sweet

keep it goin, shame that it won't be ready for fitp

by **MAD_Adamski** on Wed Mar 30, 2005 1:32 am

the card is been painted black as it was faded a touch i just refreshed it :wink:

and the centre in done in blue alcentara (spelling) but i kept it covered for the painting and keeping it covered for now not to get dusty :wink:

gonna do that to the rest next week clean then cover them.. stay nice that way

the handles are easy :wink:

just a nice touch

cheers Ad

Don't leave the masking tape on to long, cause it can dry out .. and then it's a h3ll of a job to get it off neatly .. just a hint..

looks great

by **Max M4X WW** on Thu Mar 31, 2005 12:05 am

About the boot catch, Does it not latch itself? A bit stiff? Mine did this. It either had to have some spacing underneath or bolts loose!

Same thing? Or not?
