The Splitscreen is just going to be one of those cars i fear. I have the bigger engine to fit, indeed almost all of the required mechanical parts necessary for the build, however, I don't think I'm going to be able to retrim or sort out the paint work. Think it's going to be a 2 build car
Well if you can't spray yourself there are many places who will do the final paint job if you do all the prep work. This does cut down the cost. As for the trim - you can make it yourself on a home sewing machine, or buy it second hand either from this site or Ebay. It's not difficult to fit. If you have any problems we're always here!
my cars a rolling resto and its been like that for 18 months decided with the new body it just gona get dun once but be modified to have a zetec fitted when i can get insurance for it
my dads cars been a project for 13 years ! still not finished
freshly painted 1275cc anda very loud big bore exhaust
My 4 door is a rolling restoration, she's done approximately 8000 miles since being put back on the road about 18 months ago.
The worst interior trim that needs doing on the Splitscreen is to replace the headlining, as it has been completely removed and also to source a new heel board as the original one was broken when it was removed, not by me I hasten to add.
John these are the kind of things available from a scrap yard as they are too fiddly to remove. Keep an eye out for cars advertised as "parts only". Ser II do come up.
you never actually finish,theres always a little bit more,then you redo the bits you did in the first place thats what its all about fiddling about with this and that.
