AJCivic Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I bought a full kit for the hatchback from a member here a couple years ago and the front lip ended up being a fibreglass replica, wasn't too bothered because I prefer the VTI lip and paid an alright price, but somebody must have made them one time, they just break easier! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickg Posted December 3, 2021 Author Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) Wee bit of maintenance, new plugs, new fuel filter, new blue ht leads Forgot a piccy but the front black rusty brackets are now matching blue of battery tie down and strut brace , started replacing every bolt that i remove with a new stainless replacement. Finally getting back to attemping finishing daves mod, since the ashtray and 12v socket is gone and heater controls are moved down you can get your finger up into heater controls and out the back of the bottom tray so strted making an insert to turn it back into a sealed cubby hole. Plan is to keep working on it so i can reinstate the 12v socket for my heated seat cover (im old and broken so need small comforts like that lol) and make a small shelf where my phone can slide in to a fixed charging dock. The dock will be plugged into one of the head units usb ports for android auto but without trailing wires ......... i hate trailing wires. Trying to find a set of doorcards the same as what i currently have (dont have fabric on them its like a fake leatherish hard plastic affair in black) and im going to mold some cup holders in to the door pockets. Should say try and do that, thats why im not going to hack up my origionals On another note i think i got a bargain £100 for both side complete suspension set up including calipers all complete could basically just bolted on as bushes in better nick than mines but plan is strip, clean up, refurb with poly bushes and new bearings ect then have em swapped over. Best bit was when i was collecting the fella had a titan silver bonnet and front bumper that was being binned (all complete with trims washers ect as he put a rover front end on a good deck and had another that was for parts so was gutted i missed out on the wings as someone else nabbed them) Safe to say i went back as the fella said i could have em free of charge Was pretty gutted as he was telling me he other deck he used for some parts was scrapped with full interior and all its glass and lights ect ........ i almost shed a tear as i would have paid him to strip it and took everything i could over multiple trips But will just need to keep an eye open as you never know what will pop up ....... me and the fella are now friends He breaks rovers so when he gets 400s 45s and zs's in i will scavange what i can Edited December 3, 2021 by Mickg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickg Posted December 3, 2021 Author Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) Next job on the list when i finish the list im currently working on lol is i have a large sheet of aluminium and some aluminium angle to make an airbox to go around the cone filter using the factory feed pipes and make another feed. Theres a flap above the aircon condensor thats two wee clips to remove and gives a perfect additional cold feed location, keep thoes temps down but the noise up. Really need to get that rocker cover of for a refurb (done my crv b20 a while back in wrinkle red and it came out fantastic) but with a run of super bad luck the last year or so has me convinced one (at least) of the bots/studs will shear and ut will leak after lol , really wants doing in black wrinkle then shave and polish the lettering. Maybe get over the fear and get it done. Edited December 3, 2021 by Mickg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
