I built this garage so i can get a car in, open the doors and still have room. Internally Its just over 3.5m wide and probably 6m long. Plenty of room [emoji12]

Finally got round to doing the passenger manual window. So much easier with my new rivnut tool. Should have bought a decent one to start with.

Want. I got a cheap one too don't think I've successfully rivnutted anything yet... useless tool but a great idea :)

 

 

Battery relocation?

 

Moving the fuses in to those individual holders? Be nice to see how you do it, need to do something with mine to tidy up the bay... 

 

God its an engine bay, who cares? I need to get my head straight :(

Great project, thanks for sharing it with us.

 

What do you reckon the car owes you, not including your time?

If i didn't buy things i didnt need like the brembos. Extra wheels. Bucket seats. I think i'd be under £1500. Thats taking into consideration stuff ive sold off Ibiza/Fabia along the way.

All in i be its about £2200

I suggest that you've got great value then, not that it's the point ;)

 

Keep the updates coming, great project.
