Project Typhoon - Page 3

Well the typhoon is insured, £350 for the year. Little more than I was hoping but that's including an open claim. Peter Best were £270 but that's with the claim settled as non fault which could take an unspecified amount of time. Other than that quotes were 4k or more with my open claim.

This is through my broker sky who are fully aware of the open claim.

Just curios, but do you have the straights for it, if you are going to put it back as standard? If not let me know as I may be interested in a deal if you wanted to swap straights for 11's?

My MK2 is currently running on the straights whilst I (try) and refurb the 11's I have, then get tyres, but not a lot of time to get it all done at present so a spare set of 11's would sort me out if it also helps you? Just let me know as I am down south next week and may be able to bring them with?

Anyway, back on topic, looks like a fun project, wish I had time and money to sort one myself, would love a Typhoon! Good luck!

Sticking with the 11's for now mate, prefer the look.

Right, tonights escapades.

Fixed the drivers window, it now goes all the way up and down after a test two nights ago and not noticing two bolts missing, the whole mechanism decided to fall apart. Still a little sticky but good enough for the time being.

Other than that, rebuilt both doors, I am short of a passenger side speaker. Both open inside and outside - a must for the mot!!

Handbrake console and centre console back in along with steering wheel cowling and the cover under that.

Starting to look a bit more like a car now instead of a pile of junk!!

Removed all the odds and sods from inside and chucked it all in the boot. The interior is filthy so once the mot is complete (fingers crossed!) then it'll all be coming back out including the seats so I can give them and the carpet a DEEP clean.

My pre project drive door cards will be going in but have to wait for the rear doors to turn up first and they will be getting the leccy windows treatment.

Couple of pic (light was rapidly fading!)

Getting there mate, keep up the good work.

Bit more done today.

Front end taken apart and rebuilt, standard air box fitted, headlights all bulbed up and plugged in. Bumper reattached properly. Pretty much ready for the mot.

Only one pic today, like an idiot, the other day putting the centre console back in I have forgotton to plug the ciggy lighter in. So had to pull the other car up close!
