Odyssey ph1 172 pure track car. No tax discs here........
ph1 172
The dash top falls out. Theres a guide on here to remove it which is very good!
Finally making some progress, you work so slow....

I won't need resistors to short everything out.........I can do all that on my own
The cage has the gusset plates at the front pillars that has to be welded to the shell so the windscreen has to go.
I shall have to look for the guide then, and it's not my fault that progress has been slow...........

Stripping an Odyssey ph1 is a hanging offence round this way
I would have cosseted that car
It's what I bought it for! It will even be mopped before it goes on it's first track day
How are you getting on with your Monaco?

Sod the cage, all that extra weight without anymore power
Safety first
Cage puts in 38 kgs

Update
Once again, items keep coming up at the right price! Tonight I picked up a pair of brand new Corbeau Evolution seats. I am a 32" waist and I can only just squeeze into them. Exactly how I wanted it but my passengers will beg to differ!

I also picked up a set of brand new AST sportline II coilovers on Saturday. Thank you Mark!
The dashboard and steering wheel is out now, so is the front bumper and headlights etc. Hopefully Wednesday I will crack on and remove the windscreen, passenger side rear glass and the boot lid. Then moving on through the week I need to be getting the water drained out of the engine to remove the heater and then get the engine and gearbox out along with the whole wiring loom so then, fingers crossed, sometime late next week I can send the shell off to have the cage put in (this should be here this week) then on the car returning, get the interior sprayed! Long way off this yet though

Lush seats! Where did you find them? As you know i've been looking for new seats for ages lol.
ph1 172
I found them on ebay just outside Stowmarket. The cheapest I could find them on the net was £498 each. I paid £325 each and they still had the polythene on!
I will PM you a couple of links Lewis as I am watching a fair few seats on ebay atm and I hope they are within your price range....
Swap a seat for a pole position?
Looking good so far!!
Looking good so far!!

Well got abit more done tonight thanks to Scott for lending a hand
Everything does seem to take longer than expected though!
So changes since last time are something along the lines of, dashboard, heater, wiper motor, washer bottle, battery, radiator, condenser, inlets, front bumper, alternator, air con pump and most, if not all the pipes and lines, and various other insignificant bits that I no longer require.
Genuine Orbisoud cup racer exhaust should arrive tomorrow ready for me to do some fabrication work.

What on earth did you use the bahco wood saw for!? Your worse than me haha!
ph1 172
Why didn't you picture the circular saw?
Also you need a bigger passenger seat!
lol
I will have the seat bars and brackets put in so that I can bolt your seat in there too so will need to take some measurements from your seats sometime.
Worked well for removing those "tough to get at bolts".......are they not recommended then?..

Subscribed.
Looks to be a great project
Thanks mate
Hopefully exciting stuff will happen possibly end of next week early week after as I have literally just come off the phone to custom cages and my cage should be with me Tuesday after adding a couple of extras with it, naturally

Thanks to Scott and Zack, I now have a very heavy back of tar
http://
Untitled by Rhys Beal, on Flickr
A tad over 9kgs
Also removed the loom inside the car so I could finish stripping the carpet and foam.
http://
Untitled by Rhys Beal, on Flickr
That was another 10kgs exactly
A heck of a lot of wiring mess to cut down and sort out:S
Anyone that is prepared to work for cups of tea and cheese toasties to cut down a loom?
A few more pics of the patches where tar used to be

Also removed the tar on the rear upper quarters. Quite time consuming and fiddly = plenty of blood
Got some cheese wire coming next week so I can remove the windscreen and N/S rear window.
Also, Tuesday should see my cage arrive. Hopefully by the end of the week I will have the engine out and various brackets inside removed ready for the cage to be fitted possibly the start of the week after. We shall see.

Been busy mate, bet the garage is full of car parts everywhere now? lol
ph1 172
My dad has been going mad at me! lol It's a sh*t hole. Going to evict the interior tomorrow and get some space back as I also need to work on the front doors cutting those down and the boot lid.
Poor car!
Top work Rhys

Peace of cake with the right gear. Braided cheese wire from ebay, 22 metres for under £6 delivered, make a little hole/poke the wire through, a pair of molegrips on each end and wiggle/pull till it cuts all the way around. Clean off the excess with a stanley.
Poor car!
Top work Rhys

Thanks very much.
Roll cage should have arrived today but no sign of it yet, again.
Got to get some paint mixed up next week too!
