UK Kamei Mk1 Golf Replica - Prescott Hillclimb on page 53 !!!!!

Going to strip the car out for a dedicated track car....

I must be mad?














Done a bit of tidying up since these pics & also dumped the sound proofing from the foot wells as it was minging, put the front seats back in & the seat belts are bolted back in, well loud now LOL.

Change the name of the folder on Photobucket. The swear filter is causing the problem as as it changes 'slag' to 'sl*g'.

 

ahh i know,you need to rename them mike,the word slag is not allowed


edit:doh! too slow!

sorted


edit: most of the black stuff on the floor washed off but there is some really sticky stuff that was holding the carpet down in key places that is like tar & really hard to remove.

riley you nutter, nice to see your back into the car again .


Question: can you use rear seat belt mechanisms in the front?


Because i have examined the reels & they look identical except the rear has that pin sticking out which can be unscrewed & there is even a hole for it in the front ones?


The only big difference i can see is the end of the belt:.....the front one has that hex shaped spring inside that folds the belt down when you release it so a passenger doesnt trip over it when climbing into the back & the rear one just has that triangle shaped 90` piece on the end with the bolt hole in the middle oh yeah & it's fixed not rotatable.


But if it's for a track car would it make any differerence & would the mechanism work?

 

Err, why not just fit a harness like everyone else does?

 

dunno tbh mike?

dont see why they shouldnt bolt up,but maybe the lengths are diffarent or something?

neil.

 

Gary i will be fitting harnesses eventually but the only stuff im doing at the moment is the really cheap stuff as i still gota grand to pay back on the garage 1st & i may go for a roll cage before the harness but then again im removing the dashboard eventually so i gotta check the cage as i want it to come down as far into the footwell as possible as i could always go through the bulkhead & link up with the front towers .


Riley good point , gonna measure them tomorrow, didnt want to open them as i wouldnt want to mess them up but the spring mechanism seems almost new on the rear ones but the front ones are showing their age when winding that last bit up when you get out.

 

aye,know what you mean mike.

what about lashing em with wd40,down the sides of the bit where the belt is wound up in a roll?

look forward to updates mike!
neil.

 

Yeah cheers neil......belive it or not i started this thread thinking back about yours ....





NOW GET IT FINISHED!!!!!

 

ahh cheers mike

i do really feckin miss it ya know [:^(]

it vill be bach

neil.

 

Good stuff - now riley get back to it and mike that black sticky stuff comes off with the heat gun and a paint scraper....real easy

don't do like me when I washed the shell - i put loads of degreaser everywhere and some got on the sticky black stuff which loosened it "slightly" then of course couldn't resist hitting it with the washer!!! SPLAT it lifted the top of it and scattered it all round the inside of the car que a petrolly rag and lots of rubbing to get it off

 

Good stuff! keep it up

 

hmmm...im really thinking about selling the cab now to get a mk1


good going mike

 

Do it velly_16v_cab! you know it makes sense
