Will tapatalk images work? ..... utuqybuj.jpg

Yes it will! You all know what a standard Fabia dash looks like, well that came off and then it was a matter of removing carpet, trim, soundproofing, insulation and a heater unit :)

That's all for today! Tomorrow I will put all the parts in boxes then in the loft and then start work on things like the doors as Richard has suggested!

Wow, that's some serious weight shedding :)

You need a Vrs steering wheel. It only has 3 spokes so weighs less :D

Anyone say MOMO racing steering wheel that I'm going to nab from a van if the neighbour still has it ;)

Even better :)

Well trim wise there can't be much more weight shedding so it's on to cutting bars out of doors etc!

You do know you'll have to choose your outfit carefully too when driving. No heavy jeans or boots :D

:no: the 1.2 HTP is not known for being quick ;) mind it's hit 100 on a private road but I wouldn't want to do that again on these tyres! I'm looking forward to the first drive which will be Spring 2015 hopefully! See how it goes :)

I'm hoping the 1.8T will really give it a kick and once it's all setup I'll run it until the winter on tracks etc then give it a lot of tuning etc and just maybe a wrc kit but that depends how my funds are and other factors!

Haha it most likely won't be road legal so will keep it for a track weapon unless I get bored and get it all changed for road use! Then I'd watch out :devil:

Might have to come and have a poke around next time I'm passing then :) A483 is a semi-regular route for me.

Nice one! When it's done you'll see me frequenting the road as it is a good bit of fun ;)

Plans for this evening are as follows,

Remove all parts stored in car and put them in loft then I'll start on headlining and doors!
