Sweet :niceone:
I love the colour of your car & don't think it's a bit too fast & the spurious either! Suits the five! ;)

Mark, the car looks awesome buddy :agree:
I'm liking the idea of the dash conversion, that looks good.
Is it Ashy who has squeezed the 172 dash into his car?

Re: my ginger mobile, from start to present... pic heavy!!
Very, VERY nice mate! Its astonishing what level of finnish people can achieve with these cars, you have done an immence job :agree:
-
Re: my ginger mobile, from start to present... pic heavy!!
OMG how good is that. Funny really as I was saying to my bro as I started to read the thread that Tungy is the best colour. By the end of the thread he was laughing as I have a poster of this car on my wall at work and i didnt realise it was the same car!!!
Top marks.

I was just gonna ask the same thing!!! What happened at snett?

Re: my ginger mobile, from start to present... pic heavy!!
was a mates old lancer, was an interesting beast, running on emerald i think it made about 300bhp on the 8v lancer engine with a big big turbo!
at snett my oil feed for pressure gauge was routed next to turbo (os8472 cough!!) and popped, and the oil ignited, luckily no damage just powder everywhere!

Re: my ginger mobile, from start to present... pic heavy!!
not much of an update, but pics of my next project on the car... carbon fibre!
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...k/carbon22.jpg
gonna make some fog ducts as the ones from ebay aint the best looking things in the world, then mould them in carbon and fibreglass so i can have a pair for each car, then cover my mirror baseplates and spoiler and then who knows :laugh:
also my new grille badge... a mate made this for me, just need final trimming and sanding then clear cote :)

Re: my ginger mobile, from start to present... pic heavy!!

-
Re: my ginger mobile, from start to present... pic heavy!!
more progress this eve, but no pics yet,
started sanding the mould back as i can't have any depressions or the part wont ever release.. currently sitting in a thick coat of gloss black so i can sand smooth and get rid of any pinholes etc
-
Re: my ginger mobile, from start to present... pic heavy!!
slight update, mk2 ducts look better, but still learning with the mould, so now making a mk3 which should hopefully work!
you can see the progress between mk1 and mk2 below
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1.../duct1and2.jpg
and mk2 on a car
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...mcuk/duct2.jpg
so new mould, and learning every time so hopefully should have a pair soon, with a mould that i dont have to smash to release the part!
also, got a nice fmic made up for the raider

Re: my ginger mobile, from start to present... pic heavy!!
only driven it a couple of times since they were fitted, and to be fair i'm not really a fan of driving at over 100 in a biscuit tin so they are more for looks than function :laugh:
