RE: 106 Track Toy - procta - 17-12-2014
bonnet could be replaced with a fibreglass unit, if there is a one for these cars.
RE: 106 Track Toy - RetroPug - 17-12-2014
You can buy flat sheets of carbon fibre online, they aren't cheap but for std. rectangular sheets they aren't ridiculous I suppose.
These could then be cut out to make carbon fibre doorcars.

Strip that door properly...

Why not replace side windows with poly too?
Yeah I'm going to look into that at some point, seems a bit pricey but I'm sure I'll find some soon enough

Me and SlamWagon got some 2mm thick plastic sheeting so it will be light weight enough

So started more stripping today
got rid of these things for the door cards, every bit counts.[attachment=20690]
Then started on the door looms
[attachment=20691]
Then cleared all the unnecessary stuff out of the centre console.. So nothing's left
[attachment=20692]
Then started the most daunting part in my view and that was thining the loom
[attachment=20693]
Did as much as could with what day light was left.
Took all the..
Door looms out
Radio wiring and antenna wires
Rear speaker wire
And some other bits
[attachment=20694]
This is the wires I took out today
really pleased with myself considering i don't really know anything about wiring. I tried starting the car and it wouldn't fire so I had a panic but thought I'd check the fuses and luckily it was just one fuse. So replaced it and now it's all good happy days
RE: 106 Track Toy - Nathan1305 - 18-12-2014
Tomorrow will consist of collecting some plastic sheeting from Ian to make some door cards and some dash inserts, then ripping the dash out so I can get some more wiring out and the heater box thing and heater matrix
RE: 106 Track Toy - procta - 19-12-2014
id have removed the full dash 1st and then chased what wires are what, as you may be able to remove more from the car loom.

That's what I'm doing tomorrow
just got the ones I could see today so I'll be getting the dash out tomorrow and take other stuff that's not needed out, not sure what other wires can come out to be honest

as you will need some sort of power ISO connector is a good one for power, so remember that before you chop it all out, speaker wires you can bin also the speaker iso connector can go, but the other id keep for the power. ariel wire can bite the dust too.

Had a fun day ripping the dash out ready to get rid of some more wiring, only issue I have is it seems to be revving lumpy. Only thing I disconnected was the clocks and the stalks. Anyone know why it could be doing this?
RE: 106 Track Toy - procta - 19-12-2014
that looks ready for a full blown cage!

I'd love one but little pricy at the moment, might go half cage
do you know why it will be revving lumpy? Really strange I've only disconnected the clocks and stalks
RE: 106 Track Toy - procta - 19-12-2014
plug them back in and see if it sorts it out, could be the earths, as my indicators wont work if my hazard switch isn't connected up,

I'll give that a go now
Just tried that but still revving lumpy :/ it idles fine
RE: 106 Track Toy - Nathan1305 - 29-12-2014

Dash is back in the car
and hopefully sorted the lumpy revving out. I've replaced the plugs and left it to run for a bit and it all seems okay only issue is the engine management light comes up and goes out every now and then not sure what this could be but it seems okay
RE: 106 Track Toy - procta - 29-12-2014
still more to come off that dash! Glove box, vents , clock surround and steering cowling too. f*ck it get the full lot removed and binned

buy a second hand one and do it, just to see what it looks like, saves you f*cking up yours.
RE: 106 Track Toy - 7057sam - 29-12-2014
Nice to see it temporary fixed it
Take it the dash is staying in?
RE: 106 Track Toy - Dum-Dum - 29-12-2014
You can remove those 2 boot lining bits of carpet, I assume if they are like the ones in the 306 the glue is actually pretty shit.
There is loads of stuff in the engine bay that can be stripped, all the plastic covers and stuff can go and there is always loads of spare wiring in there.
If you have stripped all the looms out the door you can do the same to the boot and either get pins for it or a cable pull for the inside to pull the locking lever for it.
You can also get a smaller washer bottle and relocate it to the back of the car and remove the hose for the rear washer.

Not sure what I can replace the dash with so I'm thinking of taking it back out and cutting parts of it out

What's the boot lining bits of carpet? And yeah I'm going to strip the wires out the boot. Need to take it for a quick spin to make sure it's all running fine

Is your boot light enough to be supported by just 1 ram? Infact do you even need them at all?

Ah got you do you just scrape it off? And I'm thinking of taking the gas stut things off the boot it's not like it's going to be opened a lot
RE: 106 Track Toy - 306Dan - 30-12-2014
Hmm I see a dash that has serious weight issues, break out the saw on the glove box bit if your after keeping the dash.

You could also get it flocked or buy some faux suede and wrap it out of the car while you're at it and then just swap them over.
RE: 106 Track Toy - Nathan1305 - 30-12-2014
Thank you for all the advice guys
dash is coming back out tomorrow and being cut up gas struts are coming out the boot along with the wires and the sound deadening in the boot is being taken out
