How much flex is in the bootlid now? Was tempted with something similar myself, but was worried it may be too weak and compromise the glass.
Top work though.

 

[jboy01]

Not as bad as i thaught mate, but fitting polly carb soon

But i cut it short where the glass meets to keep the rigidity.

Plenty of parts bought but no time to fit them, but this will change in january as i want the car ready for April 12.

And last but not least the beloved proj p sticker :thumbs:

Monster Decals should arrive soon and will be fitted after the respray and cage fitment.

I will have some more up to date pics up soon of the poly carb windows.

 

[jboy01]

Anyone have any ideas on how to sort the rust out on a brake calliper (ie rust treatment without damaging the rubber seals).
Or can the seals be taken off ?

Has anyone tried this, or is their a cheaper alternative.
Or is it worth bothering with as mines a decat track car so the EM light dont bother me.
Also can not running a post lambda put the car into limp mode?

 

[STEAVIE]

wouldnt bother with it just live with the engine light or take the bulb out! k:

 

[ScubaSteve]

you shouldnt have needed to remove the shaft to fit that manifold, undoing the bottom engine mount and rocking the engine forward should suffice

 

[jboy01]

STEAVIE Thanks for the advice, Scuba only found that out after i fitted it, DOH!! But cheers anyway.
