wow mate this thing is awesome. i read it frmo the start to finish.
can't actually believe how nicely it turned out.
hmmmmm might have to get a cheap run around and get down to it this winter.
how long did it take you from start to finish.? roughly.
thanks again
Cheers man, I started it in october 2009 and finished it in september 2010.
Some really long nights, cold winter nights, worth it in the end tho.
If i had a proper heated garage i coulda done so much more, but a freezing cold garage in the middle of winter, just after finishing work is not the most appealing place to be!
So your talkin roughly a year, but coulda done it easy in about 3 months if i pulled the finger out i reckon!
Nearly right man, lol! the first ones were 4x100mm 99% sure they were off the earlier spec MG ZR 180. Can't remember now!
Not much to update, i redone my rocker cover in OEM wrinkle red, fitted the same brakes in 5x114, new set of T1Rs on soon, thats all i'm afraid...

Would love to go down the cams and Hondata S300 route in the next year os so...
Love this build thread mate! How did you attach the battery tie downs to the boot floor? If you have any more info and pics I would appreciate it. Cheers pal
Sorry man, thats all the photos i have of it right now. Waht i done was butchered the OEM tray to allow it to sit flat. Drilled holes in the corners and tightened bolts into them.
Then ground back some paint off the boot and welded them to the boot floor.
The idea was to be able to fit the rear plastics without disturbing the battery tray.
Think most of the pics will show it if you zoom in...
