Dilly's :Progress File....

Im gonna start puting alot up about dilly, tis going thru a lot of changes at the mo, so it seems a shame not to share it with the world. :) hehe

Here is a pic when i first got er.

car looks good, what mods are you planning for it?
have you started modding yet? if so keep the pics coming,.. :wales:

Here are a few pics of my latest mod, along with a couple of the car now, with its “zeemax” bonnet and GRP5 arches.

its dead at the mo(clutch& MOT) but will be ready for minirun :tongue:

the steering wheel is finished, and the other things ive dont so far are, button start, CarPC, boxed out back seats for speakers, alot of the mechanical stuff u cant really tell much from the original, like 1293,stage3head,2" system, turbo bulkhead box, etc.

Roll on the turbo :grin:

Anyways here are a couple of snaps at the moment, till i get the older pics of what mods ive made.

Astrali wheel with illuminated switches for indicators, hi-beam and horn…

…

car pc, uploading MP3’s… Facet Fuel Pump, eh richie :wink:

dash so far, i took off the stalk unit, bent one of the cowling mounts so i cud fix the rev counter to it, and snapped the smaller one off. you can see my button start down on the right, and aux gauges on the left…

back end with grp 5 arches, soon have my one piece fibreglass boot on, planning to have it with internal release and open upwards

need some work, but got alot of the filler sorted.

That look amazing!!!
Is she gonna be a road car??
How you gonna connect all the buttons on the wheel up so they don’t just wrap around the steering column or look untidy???
Keep up the good work and keep postin pics :cool: :grin:

sure is, cant keep a turbo’d estate from its fans lol…

im gonna use coiled wire, like they do with the orn on some momo stering wheels. if anyones got links for any sorts of this wire, im still looking for some.

Cool!
Looks great - might try experimenting with summit like that on my mini :grin:

great pics so far mate, sounds like she’s going to be a headturner, what colour you painting it???

and i see from the top pic you got the imprtant tool out there (**a cupper**[U] haha ha :wales:

what type of surround are you going for to conceal the wires for the steering wheel??? when that is finished???

Can’t Fix A Mini Without A Decent Brew

Bainwave’s are on the go, lol. I cudnt find any suitable wire that was “coiled” so im making my own with a small metal pole, some wire and boiling hot water.

once it cooled, bingo, strechy wire!

cool great job and progress. love the steering wheel!
