Rite.. bit of progress - the wiring is done. The dashboard is neeearly done, just gotta cut the holes in the aluminimumumum pannels and trim the main bit tomorrow. The steering wheel is finished - and i'm well pleased with it, looks well swish There are still a couple more jobs to do, like find a way of clipping the front headlight loom to the flappy front, and fabricate somewhere behind the dash to mount the many many relays, fit the windows, gear linkage, exhaust... then it should be back on the road

Then i still have things like fitting the mudflaps, fabricating some subframes for the bucket seats, get and fit wide grp 2's, fabricate and fit spotlamp brackets and spotlamps, and of course get the stickers made up - tho i do have the door squares already.

I had a thought t'other day... i'm thinkin of putting the number '0' on the door squares and a few stickers on the car saying 'stage inspector' anybody whos ever gone to a rally will know what i'm on about - hehe, i've already got strobes in the headlights and rear lights, then i can put a big orange beacon light on the roof for mini runs

... a few piccys ... these are from the other day acctually, i'll get more after 2mos ... the pannel is just card just to check spacing etc, the switches are all absolutly necessary they're for - sidelight, headlight, front fog, rear fog, long range spot, wide spot, rev lamp, strobe's , fuel pump, rear heater, wiper1, wiper2. As all the switches have LED's in the tips i figure this may get annoying in the dark if they're beaming in ur face, so i have a last switch which switches all the LED's off Then on the steering wheel we have left and right indicator, flasher, launch control and the horn. I love the wheels because the flylead unplugs off the dash the wheel has a snap off boss type kit

lol, cheers. I'm at coventry uni by the way.

Made a fair bit of progress today - i've trimmed the two dash rails in shhh-waade, well, fake suede, as real suede cost far too much Also finished the dash today by adding the fixing points for the ally pannels and then sprayed it black before it gets trimmed tomorrow. The driver side ally pannel is nearly finished, except the rev counter hole. Its all starting to look really nice and tidy all of a sudden, which is pretty cool.

Soz, no pics yet... to busy to take pics

On the list for tomorrow is trim the dash, finish cutting holes in the ally pannels then connect up all the 'lectrics and watch the sparks fly ... its getting close now, cant wait to drive it again

Please refrain from turning this into another 998 v 1275 thread each to their own, lets leave it at that, and if you want to settle any arguments i suggest we head to a track day

Roite.. progress. The dash is all trimmed up and finished, the drivers pannel is finished, just need to cut the holes out for the fuse holders in the passenger one. Speedo's broken, i still need to go get that spare off pie or olli, whoever i see first. The aluminimum was originally going to be carbon fibre, but lack of funds means i gotta stick with this ally for a while, tho, its kinda growing on me. The only problem with it is it reflects sunlight - a lot! Even after brushing it, its still not great.. i'll ave to see how i get on with it.

Started to connect everything up, so far we gots the flasher, indicators, strobes and fuel pump working. Just a case of connecting everything up at the mo, and testing as i go along. Its all these little jobs that seem to take forever, but i'm slowly getting there.

So 'eres some pics of the work, i'm so happy with how the came out, turned out much better than i expected hope y'all enjoy....
