how did you fit that towing eye mate?

 

[h701micra]

So your breaking they grey one for parts

 

[padraicR]

Towing eye-
Cut a tiny slot out of bumper where standard towing eye is , then the red one slid in , and bolts onto the one thats there if you get me ?

Grey micra -
It is for breaking , but im only taking a few bits off atm because i might use that as a testbed for mods , not sure what too do , all i know is , after having it for a day , the handbrake works lol

 

[Belly93]

i think i do lol

 

[padraicR]

[padraicR]

Been clearing out space behind a shed at home for a new shed to go up , its surprising the scrap that can build up , found this car engine here :
Who wants to guess what its out of ?

I get this strange feeling the barrell underneath isnt orginal ,

 

[frank]

[padraicR]

Close but not quite from a 126 , unless the same engine was used ?

 

[h701micra]

yeh same one, (aircooled 2 pot) i mounted one into the local cricket club,s grass roller about 20 yrs ago

 

[padraicR]

I have a 126 out back with its own engine in it but may it rust in peace cuz its simply gone way too far !

 

[h701micra]

[padraicR]

Hahaha no problem at your cost lol

 

[padraicR]

 

[h701micra]

poor little 126
Dig it out. Price it up. Seriously
Will it fit in a transit
You've no idea how much I want one

 

[padraicR]

At this stage itll probably fold up and go in your back pocket ! Lol

 

[h701micra]

Sweet, flat pack 126

 

[Enuo]

Needs an MR2 engine

 

[h701micra]

Needs an MR2 engine

Got to convince him to send me it still

 

[karlj]

[Enuo]

I said MR2 engine because someone offered one up not long ago on here >.>

 

[karlj]

Finally its time to start posting again :
Last friday i brought my 2 k10's home , the red one passed the test just last week first go , iv had it 6 years so its been out a good while ! Treated 4 tiny spots of rust it had before it went through test too , proved many people wrong who had no faith that id get it theough first time ! Great feeling !!

 

[Sdperkins]

Looking good

 

[padraicR]

Thanks simon ,
I felt in the mood for some carpentry , which is surprising seen as i hate it ,( you cant cut your way in and weld your way out ) but lashed away and making a unit for subs and speakers in the boot, ill carpet over all my bad woodwork then!

 

[padraicR]

Finished off making the bracket for air intake on SU

 

[padraicR]

Started making a unit for boot for speakers and subs , subs will be going on each side :
And ill carpet it all when im done

 

[h701micra]

You'll need a turbo to pull that
Like the home-made adapter

 

[padraicR]

Well thats something iv never looked into what a brilliant idea andy

 

[h701micra]

Glad I could help

 

[padraicR]

Haha ! Ill have to do bits like this untill i can afford wideband etc
, but i aint in no hurry itll get there

 

[h701micra]

Its chugging along quite happily that's the main thing

 

[padraicR]

Having the second car is quite handy ! Im going to leave my exhaust as is , take the one out of the grey one , straight through and back box and put it on red one , that way i have a standard exhaust as spare

 

[h701micra]

Always good to have spares

 

[padraicR]

Ever wonder what your gonna do with those spots on your car where ther paint isnt as good as it could be ? I dont ...... Found a little sticker in my room

 

[padraicR]

Before :

After:

Just needs respraying in that area now . Its all those little small things that count !

 

[padraicR]

Still cant get time for this turbo build barely looked at the poor thing since it passed its test something else always seems to need doing !
