Bora pick up(sold)

Excellent progress dude!
I see you've placed a brace across the top of that circular cover, isn't that access to the fuel pump?
Will the tailgate be fixed, or you have some magic up your sleeve to have it hinged?
Keep up the good work ;-)

The pics don't do any of that justice! The brace by the fuel pump is just back from the cover enough to remove it still.
I bought a bull tailgate net that I'm gonna make/modify it to fit then once the rest of the cars done I'll attempt a tailgate just before paint.

[Mr_Orange]

Good call. Those nets are ace. Really impressed with the progress ;-)

I need a project and some space to play! I've been on waiting list for a garage local to me for 8 years now! >

[baker1983]

Just moved house to a place with a double garage! Said to the misses I don't care how much the house is aslong as I get a double garage! The only problem is is that my wages are now really sh!t to compensate it!

[baker1983]

Can anyone guess what tailgate I've welded in?



Not overly happy as roof has warped a bit! It was so cold in my garage I rushed it!

[barrym381]

had a look online at some finished 1s of these and if this turns out like some of them it will look ace 

[baker1983]

Engine strip down begins! Got bored welding and pissed about the roof so I'll do what I'm best at! Using spanners not not bodywork

[baker1983]

Engine now stripped just need to get a trolley jack from work and pull it out!
Anyone got any ideas in SAI delete for the V5 possibly same mod as a VR6
Any help appreciated
Cheers all

[baker1983]

Just an update! Found a supposed 63k seat Toledo v5 so spent the week swapping ancillaries over, renewing thermostat housing and other coolant crap!
I've got back in and hanging on the mounts so fingers crossed running by nxt week end

[Mr_Orange]

Good luck with the engine.
Keep up the excellent work!  ;-)
