It'll be the 17th Liz, Paul will very likely have all the bits done this week, but we want to test everything thoroughly before sending it off on its maiden 350 mile journey.  s:) :) s:)  
That time will be useful if Paul encounters any snags at all.
Nearly there now!  s8) 8) s8)

Just a little update. The wheels are back on and the wiring is almost sorted.
Paul hopes to actually get the car out and do some testing tomorrow.
Testing the major systems like the ABS and power steering will be part of that, as the Roadster's systems are set up differently to the Camry and Mk1 and 2 MR2s.
The surprise bit ( which has taken Paul a lot of work) will also be tested.
Reveal on this soon.  s:D :D s:D

Okay, here is an update, including a vid to reveal the secret bit of the build that's been mentioned  s8) 8) s8)  :

Quote from: Paul Woodsits finally time to reveal the big secret mod ive been doing for the last 3 weeks on nigels car.... it has been done more out of necessity than anything else,there was no way we could get the mk3 dash to talk to the v6 ecu or engine...it speaks a different lingo and that lingo is OBD2!
 
So drum roll please...... here is what ive been toiling away on for 3 weeks... all hand made out of the original roadster binnacle and a total custom one off..... enjoy
 

I just love it!

That's horrible. I mean, honestly, Mika as background music...!   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:    s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  


I love it. Do I think it suits the car? Oh dear god no. Does that stop it looking absolutely the coolest thing I have yet to see in the '2? No chance.  s8) 8) s8)

So what do the displays on the right hand side of it, well, display?



*EDIT* Just seen the end of the video: See, Vauxhall do make all the coolest stuff...!  s:D :D s:D

Dan, the right hand side is the tacho, left side display is for oil pressure, voltage, and fuel.

All you need is a respray black, a wee red LED in the front grill and it could be a Knight Technologies prototype.

I always loved the Astra GTE dash, especially the rev counter   s:D :D s:D
