My 325 touring project

[Tedswagon]

Looks cool, what were you competing it in? I'd a mk1 VRS Octavia for a while, managed to get 5 points in one go in it! Oops

Re: prop, that's what I was thinking.

[shedrool83]

Not competing with it just for weekend blasts and trackdays ,although never had it to a track yet.

Can you tell me what the part no is for the pipe on the right in these photos? Mine was a bit too crusty to put back on, think its a vent pipe?

[tiw30]

Its all coming along well, great job.

What sealant did you use to coat the underside of the floor, inner guards etc ?

Ended up going with upol stone guard as budget atm wouldn't stretch to 3m stuff.

Unless you're going for the OEM look, this pipe can be deleted back as far as where it appears from above the fuel tank. Fit the hose from the front of the original pipe, and tuck the open end away somewhere it won't get blocked.

Looking good, whats your plans for the finish of the rocker cover? Match the inlet or something else?

Just matching the inlet bud.

Engine is totally unknown .I only had it running to get on and off the recovery truck.It did sound ok and the oil and water looked ok but i just want it looking half decent atm until i have given it a good test drive/run

[shedrool83]

Engine is back in prop on and heat shield cleaned and fitted.

Still have a couple of brackets to make ,exhaust to fit ,rubber fuel line to fuel rail and fluids then hopefully it will start

[Tedswagon]

Good going, but what's the squirty bottle?

[shedrool83]

Autosmart finish to clean the plastics.

[Tedswagon]

Attention to detail as per usual

[Stevieabz]

[shedrool83]

Two steps back

A power steering pipe has pinned holed ,viscous is done for,few electrical issues to sort out and i'll have to get a new exhaust(thought i'd get away with old one but not to be)

[Tedswagon]

There's a lad on fb in Edinburgh selling a full exhaust for an m20, never used, iirc it's a sportex

[shedrool83]

Yeah i saw that mate. I'm watching a powerflow on on ebay atm thats closer in montrose.

[shedrool83]

Wee update

Not much happening with it atm but did sort out some front seats as the cloth ones were all ripped and e30 sports seats ain't an option with Christmas just around the corner,i had to improvise.

As i have touring rear seats in beige leather plus doorcards from a previous project i have went with these e46 front seats.

Total cost including the seats and materials to get them in only came to £70 so was a no brainer for me until i can justify oem sports seats .

[aimlessrock]

like the E46 seats- something in considering in my cab. Did you have to make up some brackets?

[shedrool83]

Yeah . Made brackets that mounted to oem hole extended with studs at e46 spacing.

[shedrool83]

Powerflow exhaust fitted today as i wasn't happy with the tinny sound off the 3" square tail pipe system.

[magpie]

not sure on the e36 seats like , rest of it looks great

[shedrool83]

I get what your saying Mick but the front seats that were in it were toast and i don't have funds in the budget atm for oem sports seats.

[shedrool83]

New ebay bargain alternator regulator

Got an E30 touring in the same colour in slightly rustier condition than yours. Just bought a welder to learn.

Following!

Colour match on the leather is good. Jealous of the unit.........
