What did you do in the garage yesterday?
Discussion
just having it drilled for the dowels, lightened TVR on the right and even lighter on the left

Fitted these......
£6.45 off the Bay of Fleas, Fiesta Mk 4/5.....the orange ones just looked wrong.
Yes, I know it's not in the same league as turbocharging a Chim, but for me it's a major achievement.....
Is your paint matt? £6.45 off the Bay of Fleas, Fiesta Mk 4/5.....the orange ones just looked wrong.

yeh the orange look nastyI went for subtle Chameleon Purple as i wanted something brighter than Starmist Blue. I had it done with added glossifier, as I am not a fan of completely matt finishes.
T4NGO (Alan Jones of Matt Pack) sprayed it for me, £750 for an 8 coat job. I am a "thrash it round the B roads in all weathers and do track days merchant", so not bothered about Concourse d'Elephant finishes.
It peels off in a couple of hours when you fancy a change
I only asked because I didnt remember your car being that colour Messed about with trying to fettle Steve Edwards' cowls onto some 7" headlights to see if we can get then to fit under the faired in light housing without having to chop the original wings about which would make it easily reversible back to original if required at a later date.
I think I'm getting there.
Ran out of time tonight and hope to get a look at the front tomorrow to see how it looks. The originals look a bit bug eyes and I'm hoping the slightly smaller lights faired in will improve the look and allow us to do away with the lens being separate from the reflector.

I would like to see some pictures of this conversion with the smaller lense. I think I'm getting there.

You uploaded them right, but you have to put a space between each one otherwise it only displays the first.
Like the idea, I'll probably do it too when I move the battery

Decided to move the Ecu and wiring that lives around the battery, cant understand why its such a mess down there! Fits under the dash ok.
Had to eliminate the rear passenger side dash fixing but have some ideas for that.

Was inspired by an older thread about helping ventilation in the car when the top was on. But didn't want to physical screw anything to the body, even if just to the underside. Also wanted to be able to alter the modification to try different positions to get the best results.
So started with a design in tinkercad
After hours of ####ing around with the printer, managed to get a somewhat useable part.
Fitted together and attached to car. With this design I can try rotating to different directions to see which gives the best results. Once am happy with a final design can increase to 2 or even 3 per side if needed.
Overall I think time to retire the old printer and get a new one that can get better print quality more consistently.
