Looks good mate, need some pics of the centre section ??

You could always paint the air tank up to match the speedo suround and centre section ??

the boot floor framing is the same as my old one in the Grey Sport.
IMO for the air tank etc i would hide the compressor in the left side boot plastic once its been changed to accomodate it. then fit the tank to the back of the seat. that way if you wanted a sub etc you have the boot floor for it.

Easiest thing would be chuck the rear seats but obv more door is different from doing it in a 3door

That framing seems like the easiest and best option tbh I was thinking about mounting the tank on the rear of the seats, a bit like what that white clio on the WFSU coloured BBS's did, seems quite clever. As for the compressor, not sure where to go with that, it would be a lot of work trying to get it in the side panel i think as it's quite chunky

Cheers Chris some days i love it still, but others i look at it and all the niggly bits stick out to me and i just can't be bothered with it . Dan did say about having an alloy on show, need to find another set of these OZ routes that i've got though

Cheers Darryl trying to get it semi sorted for the MK meet

with the compressor it wouldnt be too hard to mount it into the side plastics, aslong as your handy with fibreglass then it would be simple enough. and would be epic as depending how patient you are you could have a little window and light the compressor up inside of it.

Might sound like a lot of work but would like the dogs danglies if done right

Right, here we go, pics of the dash parts







Really hard to get decent pictures, looks so much better in person.

News regarding the air ride. Don't think it'll be fitted before the mk meet. Front struts were dropped off today at rayvern for a refurb, they'll be ready end of this week, and picked up some rear bag mounts which need to be cut and welded onto the car. So a fair bit of work needs doing to get that sorted. I'm heading down kent to stay with my misses for a week or so, instead of trying to rush it for the meet i'll leave it till after, would rather be able to get to the meet in a semi shiity car that works than not get there with a semi shitty car that doesn't

I thought it would be a pretty marmite idea, the photo's really don't bring them out, they look so much better in person.

Been busy this weekend having a go at something. Did somebody say custom bumper?





Everything done by myself. Built not bought and all that. Still a work in progress but more than happy so far
