Fair, tempting, but with the reverse shift it would be a f*ck on to do on the Rallye.
Hydro handbrake is needed to accompany this! Haha

It was suggested but would never pass an mot and is illegal
Nah reverse would be easy. Just extend the cable!

Fir your filler cap all you need is a 10 socket on a 1/4 ratchet no need to move the neck or anything, crack them loose and can easily get them off by hand, had to get mine off the other week for spraying and they came off easy and iv had no archliner on my car for 4 years

Cheers dan. Well chuffed with the job.
If anyone's looking for anything like this doing then I cannot reccomend dan enough. Such attention to detail and really a top bloke. Gets my props all day long!
Ben, probably just after show season. Really need to get the engine out and do clutch and cambelt before driving to the shows. Need new wishbones before track and I dare say new tires after. Tax is up this moth as well so I money is a tad stretched at the mo

Not really had a chance to do much to the car today what with having to lay a patio and build a water feature (woohoo)
Gave it a little tidy up and clean so its nicer to drive with no rattles and bangs from stuff rolling around the back.
And yes that is a huskies arse sticking out of the passenger seat.
Plans before FCS:
Fit new cam belt kit
Fit new clutch
Fit billet aluminium lower engine mount
New wishbones (hopefully roller bearing but i think the CEO of halifax will ring up and laugh at me personally if I try and order these)
Hopefully a bit of wrapping
Get rid of the sunroof in preparation for the cage to be fitted
