[Mk2] [Turbo] New mods - A work in progress (Picture Heavy!)

[Moo]

How long now matey?

Not sure yet mate, just waiting on a time estimate.

[Chris]

Cool, change of direction? Or just body mods?

[Moo]

Slight change of direction but too far down the road with the wire tuck to bail out so that's got to be finished. Some changes being made and some new stuff going on. All engine and electrical though, no body mods.

[Chris]

OOOHHH! Sounds good mate.

Look forward to seeing the results.

[Moo]

Yeah should be good

[jimGTS]

[HighwayStar]

Good luck with the rest of it fella. I'm sure it'll be worth the waiting.

Yeah should be good

All the best with it mate

[Moo]

Thanks all

Hoping it won't be too much longer now and I can get to enjoy my car again. Being stuck in a 1.2 Corsa for over a year while the 2 is off the road hasn't been much fun. It's going to feel pretty fast when I get it back. For a week or 2 anyway

Understatement of the decade

[Road_Rebel]

Looks really impressive dude, much inspiration acquired from this thread

[RyanRs]

Hurry up Paul! wana see this!!

[Moo]

Quite keen on seeing it finished myself

It's coming together There's still some way to go but good progress has been made and it's getting closer to being done each day

After the car moved we switched the direction a bit which necessitated a re-think of certain areas and modification of some of the stuff already done. This added more to already sizeable task of figuring out what was what and how to put it all back together again. Ditched the Power FC in favour of a Link G4 and now doing COP which wasn't part of the initial plan so a lot of the wiring extensions had to be redone. Also ditched my pillar pod and LCD gauges for one of these http://www.race-technology.com/dash2_2_31.html

The guys working on the car have done a cracking job of picking up from where it was at before and figuring out how to finish it off with some improvements along the way

Going to see it next week, will take a few pictures while I'm there and post them up

[Magic Beans]

Dangling carrots again

Looking forward to seeing the grand unveil. I'm intrigued to see it for sure.

Got a feeling that might end up looking something like this....



Looking forwards to a good update

You could be right

Mine will have a slightly different twist on it though

[Moo]

Some updates

I guess it's fairly obvious where the car is now but if you haven't worked it out yet it's at Rogue

When the car arrived it was pretty much a rolling chassis accompanied by a number of boxes of assorted bits and on the face of it I never thought I'd see the car in one piece again. Patrick and Matt were undaunted and assured me it could be done. The team at Rogue have really got stuck into the rebuild and kept me constantly updated along the way. True to their word it's all going back together and the light is definitely at the end of the tunnel

Will get some new pictures next when I'm up there next week but in the meantime I have some Patrick sent of the new wiring loom they've been working on and the coil on plug mod



























That is one tidy job
