I have put some of the wire in for the radio





I will have to make a small cover to fit over the radio to cover up the hole for the old clock I don't know how this will look

The radio is in and work's I have cut the hole bigger but as I thought I will have to cut into where the clock was
so now there is a big hole at the top of the radio, for now, I will make a cover and see how this looks if it looks rubbish I will change it



I have made a small cover for the hole a bit of black paint and I think it will look ok



i think this will work

I have put some black paint on the cover it looks much better than I thought it would



Still, a lot of tidying up to do but I think it will work I have to make a bracket to fix the radio in the car um CAD time

Do you have an idiot guide to getting the head back together? I started to strip mine down & now in a panic trying to put it back togther

Alan..

I have made a bracket for the radio well two the 1st one did not work



Allan do you have a copy the RAVE CD from rove.
I did have a link http://www.touchepower.talktalk.net/VVC_Timing.htm
but it has stopped working I did print this out I will see if I can scan it
I also found this https://wiki.seloc.org/a/VVC_Information a little way down the page might help

I used to have a copy, but don't use Windows anymore but will have a look to see if I have it & whether it will run under Wine

Alan..

I have got my car all back together and I can't take it anywhere



the radio is not blurry it's just the phones camera

I have a much bigger picture now when I put the car in reverse (it's my garage door )

Very smart

It is isn't it, I wish now I'd kept the dash out of the MGF I stripped last year, having problems catching the dash with my knee on the Metro one fitted

Its a sham i can't say the same about my door cards they are looking i bit roppy



I was going to get them re trimmed but can't get them done with the way things are



I was looking at something which might last longer
Paint or some plastick coating
what have over people used

Mine just has fibreglass panels, do you have the measurements for the roll bar, possibly more images of where you picked the fixing points up from?

Strange what has happened to that vinyl cloth. I guess it is not UV stable and the sun has damaged it but surprising it would happen so quickly as wasn't that a fairly recent re-trim? The vinyl on my Spyder door cards and dash is still fine after 16 years but the car has always been garaged so only sees the sun when it comes out to play so maybe that is a factor.

Hi i don't have any sizes for the roll bar what I did was to make a pat
ton from some 15mm copper pipe to make sure that it would fit with the hard top and soft top on



I made a goal post-shaped roll bar I then welded some square feet to the bottom.
the car had a roll bar at some point in the past Someone one had cut holes
In the front of the big square box on the tub so I could just get a bolt into the hole to fix the feet to the tub



The bars that run to the back pick up the torque tub bolts from the engine bay
They were made with the main bar in place as the tub was a different shape
On each side



Made to fit my car

My car is also in a garage and only comes out in the sun I think I will see if i can get the company that did the job to have a look and see what they say

My headlights have stopped working I have taken the headlight bulb out to see it better my main headlights have stopped working I have sidelights and full beam but no main the dim dip relay is not working



Here is a link to what I did to fix it
