i am selling my snapon toolbox as i no longer work as a mechanic and it is taking up space at home, it has been well looked after since i bought it new for nearly £3000 and got regularly cleaned when i was using it. im after £1500 for it but will consider reasonable offers. thanks for looking.

well i only bought it so i would have something to drive while i did this one but money means that one must go and im rather more attatched to the pug (that and the punto is slightly more selable atm lol)

in my need for funds to finish the pug im selling my punto :( http://www.torquecars.com/forums/f53/fiat-punto-1-2-a-27635/#post235684

Make: Fiat Model: Punto Engine size: 1.2 Year: 2002 Description: I recently bought this car from my girlfriends mum as an MOT failure so that I could put it on the road and drive this untill I finished my pug build, unfortunately my money has run out and I am forced to sell this before I have...

yh im trying to get one, hopefully ill get one soon

progress at the moment is somewhat delayed due to the fact i dont have a job at the moment and i bought myself a fiat punt to put on the road while im finishing this

im going to seal it all inside a stainless steel box and make the door completely watertight so hopefully will have no problems

just looked up the cost of parts to move all the switches and controlls onto a pannel on the drivers door, and just for switches, wires, connectors, diodes and LEDs im looking upwards of £250 :/

new take on built not bought, I decided to make myself some stickers

oh i got that from a Kevin Bloody Wilson song

I dont know i may do y?

i havnt finalised anything on the audio side of things yet however my mate used to work for an audio install company so im getting him to plan it all, i have however decided to fork out £300 for this bad ass headunit

right, quick update. spent a fair few nights recently playing with wires, removing unneccessary wires, plugs, fuses, relays ect. and starting to wire all the column controlls into seperate switches which i have now decided to mount on a switchboard mounted on the drivers door, i have also moved...

i certainly hope so :/

right so had a few leaks in the pug recently worst of which was the sunroof gutter pipe which runs down the A pillar which caused water damage to all my carpet, roof liner, wiring, and box :( so im now starting a complete rebuild of the interior current progress stands at re routing the wiring...

Yeah well at the moment I have the fto backs bolted to the Peugeot bases and it kinda works :/

Been fitting some bucket seats from a mitsi fto to the pug over the weekend, such hard work but they look nice

Kindof I've left gaps at either side behind the seats at the moment untill I finalise the install and port it properly

yeah my mate said that im planning to get another three amps to mount arround the sides then use three amps to power three low profile subs that will sit where my sub and fusion 6x9s sit at the moment and move the fusions to where my amp sits at the moment and use the fourth amp to power the mid...

Ok that's cool I forgot I was still using the original thread for it

Re: hey people dug out my old fi speakers and mounted them in over the weekend and this is my new wheels still needing another 7mm spacing

Re: hey people I shall drop it into the body shop at work to get the work done so that's all covered.

Re: hey people No but may b getting them widened soon anyway. The tyres aren't so much a problem as once the wheels are spaced and fitted with low profiles there should be enough clearance its just a problem getting bolt on spacers atm

Re: hey people The rim scrapes on the bottom of the damper even with 8mm of spacers behind it. They also rub on the inner wheelarch a bit at the front but I need to put lower profile tyres on it anyway. The rears need about 20mm + of spacing as they rub on the inside edge of the wheelarch

Re: hey people Got some nice o.z. alloys but there a bit too wide :/ anyone know where I can get longer wheel bolts and bolt on spacers on a budget ? One of my mate mentioned hubcentric spacers or something like that

Re: hey people New wheels, discs and poss exhaust system goin on tomorrow ,my exhaust system was a bit of a bodge job with dodgy welds all over the place so well overdue a new one.

Re: hey people I was surprisingly ok with it I just jacked the car up stuck the wheel back on and drove back home my sump was about 10mm off the floor when I finally stopped so got lucky really that I didn't damage anything other than the disk.

Re: hey people Learnt a very good lesson today about correct wheel torques. The lesson was to use them as my left front wheel fell off doing 60 on a bend and i scraped to a halt on my now flattened disk. Luckily i didnt do any damage to anythimg underneith however i did buckle my wheelarch...

Re: hey people The pic description said 91 but I dunno really

Re: hey people Yeah I figured I'm gonna have to pay a fair bit but I'm saving money by building the dash myself and I got plenty of time till I will need it anyways. Cheers for the help tho

Yh that's close but it uses a rotating needle still, I'm after a sliding guage as they look nicer and its easier to build one into the dash.

Re: hey people Yh but I dunno what to search for and buick speedometer gets nothing

Re: hey people this is the sort of thing I'm afte for the pug, this one is from a 1991 Buick lesabre has anyone got any ideas as to where I might find something similar?

Next on the list is to fabricate my own dash and centre console unit. That may take a while. Does anyone know where I could get a sliding guage Speedo from? And if so how easy are they to fit?

Re: hey people It does show so gotta re do it now :(

Re: hey people Thanks for the compliments guys. This is my first attempt at sewing in general but I was bored so decided to go for it. My poor skills do show a bit with the fold near the top of the left wing but other than that I'm quite proud if it. It did take about 18 hours tho :/

Re: hey people Right so I had a bit of spare time and some green fake leather stuff so decided to try upholstery this it the result: .

Re: hey people Well ive still got some finishing to do such as securing it to the back of the boot because as you can see in the pic the back of the box is sitting slightly away from where it should be and ive got to finish boxing everything in but yeah after that im going to put some ports in...

Re: hey people well I started on my false floor on the weekend and after 6 hours this is where it's at at the moment.

Re: hey people Well I've got a bit of extra wood left so planning to build the sub box onto the underside of the floor that way it can act as a support as well. Planning to carpet over it as that seems the easiest/cheapest way to do it.
