Any comments,hints and tips please feel free to post here.

Thankyou

I didn't realise you got the coupe so cheep mate! race you to completion of project!

When are you likely to have the mot done?

Going to be a fair while mate,have to do some more photos and update the thread.

Im hoping for it to be back on the road at the end of next month.

Just gota get the manifold stud out!!

Race for completion would be good but got the gf moaning when i am i going to finsh the central heating and rewire of the house.

but all in good time..

yeh coupe was very cheap really for what they were selling last year.Could of broke it and made profit but decided it was cheap enough to teach myself some stuff on.

Still no stud out so will have to have a go this week end.All or nothing.Tempted by a type r at the mo.please come out stud...

Good luck with this mate, i got a bit of a god of a Le and very suprisingly it passed MOT first time, but not after i spent a few squid on it.

Wish i had the space and time to work on it myself, and get that gratifying feeling when it's finished.

Im starting to feel better about the coupe now and hopefully be able to complete this all on my own.Wouldnt be anywhere without the forum tho.
I reckon august she will be on the road to be honest.
Want to make sure its all properley done

well done mate, you seem to be making some progress on this one now

thanks mate slowly but surely. I can tell you what the motivation is...its my bro's 20v na sitting on the drive all in one peice.

Its all clean and nice and drives brilliantly.The na is also wine red,so need to get my turbo runing to show him up.

How your coming?Havent heard of any disasters recently? (touches biggest tree i can find)

why does every one always associate me and my coupe with disasters! (hugging the biggest tree i can find) Yeh mate, its going like a trooper at the moment

I take my hat off to you, i got my coupe as a rolling project. i.e odds and sods, you took the real mans route, under a tree for 12 months!

when its done, its going to look very nice

good good,keep it going that way.

real man,lol stupid route i think.Will be nice to achieve something in my life tho.

think the best bit is going to be when i get her started for the first time again!

Good work it's coming on quicker than mine!!
Have to keep a look out for a new slam panel too!!

the wheels look great!!!
i am going to get mine refurbed and was going to paint them up again but am thinking this time I will get them powder coated, do you know what the colour is of your wheels as it's very nice!!
weighing up the costs of the paint etc and I have a local place that does them for a reasonable price plus i have somewhere that will take the tyres off and refit them for free I would be daft not to powder coat them as it does last longer than painting them

Cheers mate,not sure exactly.They showed me there gunmetal colour which i stated that it looked a little flat,so they so that got this colour in for me.

i will try and find out for you,will be the new year now tho.

I am very chuffed with them tho.

cheers mate!! no rush to be honest as it will be feb/march when i can afford to get them done anyway

Those wheels I want a set please!!!

If only there weren't so far from me.

spill, where did you get the seats, and how much for!

Got them from a member on here at a decent enough price i think,but all spent out.

Cant wait to fit them,shame there the rare airbag ones with red stitching?!

Will have to adapt them to fit.

Are those tyres' on the rear 55's? They look bigger than on the fronts? Wheels are looking seriously nice!

55's all round patch.The ride is actually much better than before.Needs tracking tho as previous tyre were wearing on the inside edges.
Thanks patch
They do look much better in person.

Im getting worried at the deadlines for Spa now dude

not as much as i am dude trust me.

ay at least yours runs,.

Bloody lovely. Well done looks fantastic.

Thanks sugerbear ,think ive finally got the coupe to a decent stage.More to come though...

That paint job just blew me away! what a stunner

Looking good mate, I will be doing the same to my centre console after I have sorted the spring in my fuel cap.

Thank god the guy at the petrol station had some pliers or I would have been their all day.

What are the adaptor plates like for the hyundai seats?

They are tempting

I didnt make them up but basically steel section where the seat either bolts to or through to the original mounting holes.

Nigel made them up and i bought them from him
