Right folks need a hand with my MB2 was working fine saturday night, went out sunday morning and it wouldnt start. not getting a spark but fuel pump priming. checked all fuses etc, so I've ordered a new dizzy, leads and coil off ebay (still waiting for them to arrive) went to give it a crank this morning and fuel pumps not priming now... is this because I've tried to start it aload of times that now it wont start priming until car has a spark again? Cheers

nice one cheers, they're coming off a 1.6 but I've 15" alloys anyway

Hey all, Same as above I suppose, will the front discs and calipars fit straight onto mb2 civic? Also are the rear door cards different on aerodecks? Cheers jason

Lights where easy enough, just take them out, stick them in oven for 2-3 mins at around 180-190 and they should pull apart, a few screws to take the chrome surround out, give it a light sand with some high grit sand paper, panel wipe it, blast it with some rattle can paint, then put it back together same way but in reverse Bumper was alot more complicated and awkward, the rub strips where done by cutting along the groove in them till there was only 2-3 inches left and then I plastic welded them back in to that it was flush with the bumper surface, then cut up thin strips from an old mk4 golf rear bumper I had for welding rods. I don't have an actual plastic welded so i was using a blowtorch and an old carving style chisel my dad gave me ages ago. For the number plate recess i cut off the part that drops down over the radiator etc and welded it up level with the rest of the bumper line, i them filled the hole with large pieces of plastic from golf bumper, when i Had it all near enough level i filled it with body filler and sanded it smooth. I also smoothed out the fog light inserts the bracket and the part missing at the top but the bumper would not go on afterwards to i had to strip it out again *facepalm* Anyway if i was to do it again i would have cut out the whole numberplate recess and put a fresh piece in rather than filling it then I bought a litre of celly from halford, and had some filler primer from my bike build sitting around so I primed,painted and laquered it

painted the headlight inserts black today and removed orange cap things. front bumper isn't finished yet, just has a light coat of paint on it atm i'm in the progress of tidying the rest of bodywork so i can paint it all at once. might pick up some vht and paint my rocker cover tomorrow anyway here's a couple of pics

Cheers, I'm hopefully getting a vti lip soon so it should beef the front up abit

Cheers guys, took ages plastic welding up the number plate recess etc, Will get some proper pics up once I wash it and get it finished

Hey all, Here's my project car, got it cheap about 2 weeks ago and been doing a few things to it myself. apologies about the pics, the cars filthy and its a grim day outside and i can't be arsed washing it. the car needs an overall tidy up but as i said it was cheap. so far I've done, smoothed front bumper, started smoothing rear bumper, import plate, mg zs120 springs and shocks, made a debadged grill, debadged boot, corsa alloys refurbed, can't think of anything else at the minute. cheers, Jason
