As I said, the car was moved literally next door to JJ's garage-R Tek Motorsport, where he was able to give me a hand to take the dreaded loom!!! Patience and a lot of fiddly work, me thinks!

For the first time of fully stripping one of these, it was daunting with JJ

Nski

Was that an invite in the drivers seat? DEAL! DONE

Nski

Now u see it.



Now you dont!

The invite was for the drivers seat ! Next time you see Waz or The Rodster can you drop them with them and i'll see you in Wales soon.

I've just seen from googlemaps that where you are wotking on the C4 project is not far from the QVC building i managed the civil engineering works on many moons ago. Small world..

Am not sure how long it would take you guys to actually strip the whole front trunk of the car, but with most of JJ's help it took the whole night! It started with odds and sods bolted down such as the tank strap, then a couple of bolts in the fuse box before taking out the loom firewall(only done when the tank is out), bolts to the petrol tank (obviously petrol pumped and drained out 1st) then release the petrol pump from underneath and a few bolts before releasing the tank. Its fitted tight, but pulling it out take a little shuffle to and back, sliding it out diagonally.



All the fluids need to be drained on the left bottle with brake and clutch before undoing all the pipework.

Nski

WOW, you've clocked it! with a bit of detective work on Google, what would you do without Google?ha

Yes, QVC is only around the corner

p.s would'nt those stinge bags at Ramsbottom give you any FOC?

Nski

I wont bored you with all the details, unless you want me to go on and on. The ABS unit and all miscellaneous pipework was all taken out carefully, as there was a lot of clips and SO MANY tie straps.



This is JJ

Nski

If you aint sure, then use your camera I'd say! Daunting when you start unplugging things!





JJ........the front loom was crawling out!

Nski

Thats the front loom out!

Well done Norm. Removing the loom would fill me with dread especially since my car has had two or three aftermarket alarms fitted to it in its life. Have you found similar complications with yours?

Nski

Steve, its scarey disconnecting all of the plugs and removing the loom from the car, for safe measure we took a lot of photos.

Ideally, the loom could do with a tidy up, removing unwanted points such as rear wiper motors, electric windows, sunroof motor,cabin light,etc.

But what you touched up on about unused alarms, ive found one!!!! The car has the factory immobiliser and an alarm that doesnt work. Love to remove it! Why have you removed all yours?

boxsey911

No, I'd like to but I have that fear that if I started removing unwanted/redundant wires something will go wrong so I've taken the approach of.....if it works, don't mess with it.

Nski

Hi guys, sorry for the late update with project Amazon due to personal issues behind the Porsche Scene.

Anyway, heres the progress with the car so far......


final odd bits were cleaned off whilst the loom and odd parts such as the pedal box taken out.

Last bit of horrid glue to face....

Cleaned and done....


Then most of the dash.. (sorry for the quality of the photos taken with the phone for convenience)

Nski

Before the cage was put in and aligned, bits that were in the way for the cage was deleted....e.g rear seatbelt points, rear seat brackets as you can see below..



Then Neil kindly removed all the unnecessary bits..







The cage was placed and aligned up and spreader plates made up...

Nski

Jay Jay then commenced with making the spreader plates made and aligned..
