ok, i'm a copycat

[Burns]

caught the mr sam bug, decided to strip the fezza today in preparation for silverstone on sunday, wish i hadn't bothered now

 

here's she as she is now;

 

 

and here's the seat mounts (passenger, then drivers side);

 

 

 

that'll why the seats didn't feel right

 

question is, do they inspect at ford fair before the racing? if so, that carpet's going back in

[Burns]

ok, i kinda need to know if this'll stop me racing? anyone know?

[Retromotorsport]

Personally if it was me ... yes it would.. i've had a hard hit and you want to be in a secure seat ... an MOT station would charge around 40 quid to weld that up

[johnny_h]

Fookin el, thats a bit of a shock for ya eh?

[Burns]

i'll get my brother to weld it up, that's not a problem, he just may not be able to do it tomorrow

 

i do know what you mean retro about safety first and all that

[Burns]

Fookin el, thats a bit of a shock for ya eh?

 

yep, ah well

 

tbh, it's the passenger one that's bad, the driver's isn't that bad in comparison, the missus refuses to go in the car anyway, so i'll just not take passengers till it's fixed

[Mr Sam]

mine was like that when i pulled the carpet out, patched up with the casing off an old video machine

 

 

oh and ive swept mine out properly and given it a lick of paint now, looks loads better

 

 

and why have you got door cards

[antz]

why not just rip the dash out and have a sheet of metal with a few quages

[Burns]

 

and why have you got door cards

 

cos i hadn't taken them out when i found the rust they'll be off soon enough

[Burns]

why not just rip the dash out and have a sheet of metal with a few quages

 

i was considering whether i needed a dash or not

[over_head_cam]

No dash needed.

 

Ask Posse ;)

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

if you lived nearer id have welded it up tommorow

 

what about bolting a plate in till your brother can weld it

[Copey]

why not just rip the dash out and have a sheet of metal with a few quages

 

naaaahhh metal it too heavy, just get a bit of fiberglass in ther!

[DEP]

They dont check the cars as such, all they have done in the past is check to see that you have removed all loose objects from the car, which in this case could be your seats

fiberglass pannel?? why do you need to set gadges in something.... just bolt them to the A pillar

touche

 

yeah, i think on the driver's side i'll stick some steel plates over it and bolt it in, it'll do till my bro can fix it next week

 

cheers guys
