Well, progress has been slow to say the least! Have been distracted with mountain biking and moving into a new workshop...but I'm getting stuck back into the project again and will hopefully make some good progress over the coming months.

Congrats Macker!

KAZ is looking awesome by the way

Spotted a '04 red Sportspack in Milltown this morning.

That's insanely cheap!

A unit like that would normally go for around €1200 a month in more central Dublin.

That's just my experience though! Very difficult to find a suitable premises too at a reasonable rate but it can be done! Hap...

I can't see the pics...what did you get Martin?!

Looking good Tony, making me wanna finish mine asap!

Nice one Maxi!

Try to stay on topic will ya lads?! (sorry, couldn't resist!) :lol: Not sure about NCT, but KMG is right. A lot of them are a terrible fit and aren't worth the hassle. The only ones I've seen that look good are from Curley, but shipping can be tricky. And if you do decide to get one, DO NOT go for a...

I might be wrong but I thought this wasn't a turn up at the gate event?

Entry for your car must be requested and then they let you know if you're in or not is how I understand it.

Cheers Tony, can't wait to start putting it back together. Should all go together quickly enough I hope!

At least I pay rent!

Update! Collected the shell from the paintshop last night :D :D :D http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c22/dayoungfella/Mk1%20Race%20Car/Mk1%20Rebuild/a53dd0b7.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c22/dayoungfella/Mk1%20Race%20Car/Mk1%20Rebuild/ce24af7b.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c22/dayou...

Update! Was down at the painters the other evening and took these. Might be painted and home for the weekend :) http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c22/dayoungfella/Mk1%20Race%20Car/Mk1%20Rebuild/IMAG0039.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c22/dayoungfella/Mk1%20Race%20Car/Mk1%20Rebuild/IMAG0040.jp...

They're sexy...nice one Tony!

Nice find!

What year is it? 61?

[quote="kerryminigringo"]Great to see it is coming along,would the new colour be Dove Grey or maybe Surf Blue?[/quote]

Maybe it is and maybe it isn't!

Another small update! As we all know, timelines never go to plan so things are happening a little slower than I had hoped. Shell is coming on and should be primed and ready for paint by the end of the weekend, engine will hopefully start going back together this weekend and subframes should be back ...

Was going to put up an identical post myself!
