Alpine Mk2

Nice work dude....

Well today I tackled swapping my centre consoles over for my one to accept the gauges, I also picked up a nice alpine headunit for it too.

Epic picture quality but you get the idea:


Still wanted to keep the 12v so...


Ill be putting a grommet on the i pod cable once I have run the rest though.


Helper for the day!



Got the boot finished and ready for paint:



Then this happened:


After being highly smug and happy I had remove it in one peice I went to put it in a place where it wouldnt be damaged, caught it with the side of my knee as I stepped over something and FAAAAACK!




Trying to win the TW@ of the day award over Joe it seems

Whoops. I think jims still got 1 in the shell up the unit where the scooby seats are. Give him a shout

all the center consoles ive ever had in mk2's already had a hole large enough for leads???

It has indeed I havetwo other leads that are going tobe coming though there too for the bluetooth and satnav.

Where'd you get the headunit from? looks like my old one haha

From a bloke off here dude.

Text me you lovely man!

Today progress:

Sold the exhaust that was on it as it wasnt to my liking. Picked this up this evening:


The boot/rear is now painted:



Also decided the front p/s front door wasnt in a condition to save, picked up a mint door that now just needs prep and paint.


I'll get the exhaust fitted tomorrow and the boot flatted back and re fit the bumper and plate, maybe even treat it to a good wash

The sebrings are for sale too...

Today saw the boot finished bar fine flatting when I get some 3000 grit. Also got the new exhaust on just needs the flange welded on to couple up with the four branch which will be done when the scuttle is done on Friday. Also got the old door off and stripped. I'll get on with prepping the new one tomorrow. Finally starts on the button thanks to a VR6 starter motor, compression you say?

Please excuse the dusty handprints








Love the look of the rear now


Anyway thanks for looking.

So today I went about fitting these:



I had some clear laminx left over from the a6 so I thought it would be rude not to do these.







Next up was prepping the new passenger door:


10 mins later:


Some blocking later:


Just waiting on the paint coming in now ^_^

So yesterday saw Guy weld up the new exhaust system and remove the rotted LHD wiper hole. I'll let the pictures do the talking:













Needless to say i'm chuffed. Just a quick skim of filler needed.


Meanwhile I decided to run a cold air feed to the air box:





I also had an old set of fooked fogs sitting about so i removed the glass and unscrewed the backs and voila:




I do need to make a section to fit between the foglight and the bumper but thats no biggie ^_^



Also a mate got hold of this for me that was of a 4x4 that strangely fits on a mk2 very well just need to make some tabs for it but means no holey sumps




Also took the ecu apart and fitted this:

So it's been a bit quiet with this as of late, i've filled, primered and finished the scuttle awaiting the windscreen to be refitted. Since the weather is nice out today i'll pull it out the garage and get the door in colour hopefully. Aiming to be finished by the middle of the week, then just got to insure it and tax it which i'll do at the start of June.

Cant wait.

Anyway pictures to follow..

yay!

Good progress dude...

Like the sump guard!

cheers guys!

Need to make some tabs for it still Si but no biggie.

Got the door painted today just need to flat it and fit it on the car now, then time to fit the screen

Right some pictures to bring this up to speed:










Just awaiting flatting. Hopefully get the door built up and refitted tomorrow.

Looking really good mate

Just got to refit the passenger door and get a screen fitted and it's done.

oh what happened to that screen you had off me
