BT's latest phase

[p fandango]

Looking very nice mate, glad to see i am not the only one with odd wheels...LOl except tho mine are all comets just different shades of silver/ anthracite....Just one question tho, with the holes in the front bumper will that effect the MOT, just wondering if they would class as a weakness?

i certainly hope not because i've removed all the internal reinforcements on the bumper as well

I honestly dont know, def no expert on MOTs was just curious, just know what they are like, but then again if you know a "friendly tester" wont be a prob, but then again probably not a problem anyway....i am always here to cheer people up, dont have to thank me .....LOL

even if i have to swop bumpers its not the end of the world, & won't take 5minutes to swop back once she's passed lol

Exactly mate, like i say i could be way out on this, but i remember having problems when i had a Big A bar fitted on my Animal Truck and that was all doen to crumple factors and safety, thats what made me think about it .....BTW the bumper looks good tho...LOL

i had a nudge bar on my old Jeep with no problem, just going to get as much done that i know about then see what they say at the test centre (i think even they may scratch there head over some of the things lol)

[kee1173]

Think the nudge bar thing was down to the year of the car, ie when the nudge bar ban was brought in think if your car was built afterwards and one was put on then that was why it failed, something like that.......Tell the mot testers you have had the car from new and thats how the dealer sent it to you, said it was a special edition....LOL

i thought he just hid in a bunker & got everyone else to do everything? lol

Good stuff on BT though mate- looking good.

cheers mate, she's getting there & was so nice to have her moving the other day

[p fandango]

not the most exciting update, but bolted the windows in.





ah & there is another thing, i adjusted the bonnet pins (well almost). I know your not going to believe me, but the front pins were bolted using 17mm nuts while the rears were 19mm, & i hadn't got 2 x 19mm spanners so couldn't undo then to lower the rears down


so chav look remains for a bit longer

[T5frankie]

now you have to make a bad boy bonnet

[p fandango]

now you have to make a bad boy bonnet

yeh, but they've done that to try hide the fact its a Peugeot lol

[p fandango]

i had used the perforated strip to secure the ends of the front bumper, but wasn't happy it was strong enough so thought "sod it" & used the extra bonnet pins i'd got spare. Got to get some recess plates (like on the bonnet) to flush them in, then i'll probably do the same on the rear bumper

[p fandango]

not much visual progress over the weekend but have got alot of parts sourced, high-current relay & holder for the power steering has turned up, bulk order of splice connectors for the wiring, MEGA MEGA thanks to si850r for all the cable ties, got a tin of satin black to do the bonnet, got the L-section to strengthen the rear bulkhead. Plus i've ordered a new battery cut-off switch, recess plates for the bumper supports & ordered the bits to convert to wheel studs

also treated Mr Angle Grinder to this

[si850r]

is that like a butchers block or summat mate.....lol

thats just a baby one, i'm looking for a metal grinding/cutting disc for my 12" saw lol

[p fandango]

got all the bits i've ordered now, got the longest wheel studs they did so i can thiers plenty of thread for spacers. Just a shame i haven't got any time to do anything at the minute, can't wait to spray the bonnet & see how that looks, have been thinking about respraying the whole car!!
