Just realized that I haven't updated this thread in quite a while! Been very busy with teaching and everything but I have been working on little things here and there on the car. Here are a few things that I have done...
I have changed the interior lighting to LED panels. Now lights up brighter than the sun! Also painted it black.
Changed the shifter knob again to something that feels better.
Bought some new Rover Puma carpets to put in when the weather gets better
Sprayed the rear shelf black and replace the cloth over the rear speakers with black speaker cloth
Fitted an Oil catch tank
Modified a cluster surround to fit a boost and oil pressure gauge.
Just fitted 185psi injectors and upped the fuel pump a bit as well today. (original injectors were 135psi)
Photoshopped the speedo and rev counters to adjust to Diesel engine and KM/H
Future projects:
Inside:
- Fit cluster and guages
- Fit rear light
- Buy and fit rear electric windows
- Buy and fit leather steering wheel (but has to have the thumb spats!)
Exterior:
- Fit extreme hatch spoiler to spare hatch and fit MK1 front lip to spare bumper
- Refurb MK2 11 spoke wheels (still unsure as to what colour to spray them...thinking either Arctic White or the Silver Sparkle that they come in)
- Start fitting MK2 180 body kit
(Still waiting on package)
- start working on fitting projector lens kit to headlights
- Finish and fit LED panels to rear tail light clusters and tint (So far just the reverse lights are done)
- Full repray of the car in the same colour
Now some shots of the exterior
