Dubhit............What have I done????/

Well after buyin the car off Rajan a few month's back, I decided it needed a bit of a makeover and refresh. No disrespect to Rajan as the car was immaculate, but i wanted to try and stamp my  mark on the car and make it a bit more " me"…….
Anyway i drove the car for about a week, which reminded me why i love these cars so much and then took it off the road.
The work is bein carried out at Paynes body Technik in Bucks. Myself and Richie Payne are doin most of the mechanical work whilst richie's dad Tony is doin the body.
Nothin major……..
Rewire
More chrome
More Carbon
Paint the Block and carbs
Tramonts
New trim
Good flat and polish
repaired bay and general tidy up…
Here are afew pics of what we have done so far…..

Put the new wheels on 8+9x14 Tramont splits












Stripped the interior…..


Got the engine out…









Got some new bits to go on..



I'll try to keep this updated as we are on a tight deadline as i need it ready for ultimate dubs in March

chrome sumps and so on are just far too anal for my liking. not a reat fan of the wide wide wheel look either, but i am liking that car big time.

this is exactly why i love mk1s, i dont think theres many people out there could look at this car an not think wow!!!

very nice car =]

lookin forward to more pics

sam

Where did you get the chrome fuel filler cap as I've been looking for one for ages

Hi Jay

Nice to see you have finally made it to the Mk1 side……. :wink:

Cant wait to see what it will look like once done.

Just an update really. Gettin the car ready for " Ultimate Dub's" in 2 weeks time 8O
Gonna be tough be we will get it done. The engine is back in and the exhaust is bein fabricated, so hopefully it will be runnin within the next 2 day's. Then it's just the trim to be fitted.
Thought i would stick a few pic's up of what i have been upto………alot of cleaning.

Amazing  8O

Thats spot on! really really spot on! Love that manifold!

Lookin forward to seeing it at ultimate now!

really like what you've done with it, the tramonts looks awsome!!!

I did like the old wheels but prefer what you have done, top work chappie!! 8)

I have a wife and a 2yr old son………..if that makes any difference

nice car - very nice

appreciate the effort this takes….

 8)

keep the chrome parts in good shape with a rub over with clean engine oil…..

That is amazing, I love your car, you're one lucky person. Every single thing in that looks perfect.

i was wondering if this car got sold. i think those tramont wheels make it look better than the previous. must admit i did want to buy it when rajan put it up for sale, fair play to rajan and yourself look forward to seeing this car in the flesh one day :wink:

Thanks for the comments guy's.
Well the engine is back in along with a completely new exhaust system. All the brake lines have now been done in braided lines with chrome finishers.
We are now in the process of fittin the new trim, including headlining and carpet.
We have smoothed and filled the dash ready for trimming aswell.










And New Schrick sump ready to be chromed..




New Exhaust..
