Big update. Alex took some fancy pictures like he usually does whilst me and thom stripped the engine.



And then after i spent an hour or so learning to weld with the borrowed welder, me and thom started cutting the templates for the inner flitches out of a guitar hero box haha.



(DAT HEADTORCH :ph34r: )













thats the current state. stopped before i finished that one side. its cut, just needs welding in. but all the holes have been welded and ground down, so have the back and front sections. happy with the progress. not happy with my burnt face from the welder <_< oh, also ordered coilovers and all front suspension bits.

Just pull the interior loom out of the car trough the bulkhead hole. It's the easiest way. The dash wiring is separate loom which you can disconnect with only one connector. Then just remove the wires starting from the rear lights and move forward. it takes about 10-15 minutes to remove whole wiring.

Full interiors still in it atm. I'm scared of pulling the carpet incase I find rot ha. It's a much better solution than cutting the loom though.

Thanks guys!


Got a lot of next week off. So will be getting the front end back together, the rear end stripped, the engine stripped and going to start welding the bay up. (After I've learnt to weld obviously!)

think ive decided to pull the fusebox into the car through the bulkhead just unsure of the best way to go about it. i guess the proper way would be to pull the interior loom apart and pull it through, but tbh, i'll probably just cut all the wires just after the box, and reattached on the other side..
