I need to make my mind up and could do with some help or advice with painting the exterior.1. Paint it Dandelion Yellow (Mitsi Evo colour) or 2. Paint it solid red like the BTCC cars and sticker it up. Any advice would be appreciated. ________________________________________ www.pugsport-racing.co.uk |

I did not want white really as it gets mega dirty, it got to be yellow or red same as BTCC colours.________________________________________ www.pugsport-racing.co.uk |

Progess made today....I have now sorted the rest of the welded joints now, at last its been a long hard job and wished I got a company to do it now as I can see why they charge about 3 times the amount I paid.     Later on on the afternoon me and my Mrs spent at least 3 hours getting the dash back in as it dont go past the Roll Cage very easy, once we had it past the Roll Cage we had to get the threads into the 3 holes so the nuts could be put on in the scuttle panel. I nearly gave up and sold the car because its one of the hardest jobs ive had to do, in fact I have buggered my arm up now.    Tomorrow I shall continue to finish the dash off as I have an MOT in a couple of weeks time.  ________________________________________ www.pugsport-racing.co.uk |

Today ive had another massive set back I phoned GKZ_206 was asking for advice stated I was installing the dash, he said "have you connected the wire that connect the the brake light switch which is at the rear of the steering column support" no i said. I also asked how to get the massive gromit surround that goes around the steering shaft "Spray some WD40 on it should it easier". Well after some time of ripping my hands to shreads I connected the Brake light switch cable (thanks Carl) Then I attempted to fit the stupid large gromit around the steering column, sprayed loads of WD40, but still wont give in. I attached a bonnent release and bolted the dash in the middle and at the drivers side. So I have almost given up its beaten me and I dont know what to do! ________________________________________ www.pugsport-racing.co.uk |
