My 2003 winter projects
were a bit thin on the ground. Most of my winter time was
spent helping Jason with his car (see here)
so I limited myself to smaller projects. These took the
shape of trying to shed some weight from the car. The other
main reason for this was that we were trying to buy our
first house, so funds were pretty thin on the ground, and
I'd have to budget for decorating a new garage, of course!
During the year, once the house was sorted out, I decided
to embark on a small'ish project. To change the suspension
link to a full wishbone De-Dion style, with suitable
anti-roll bar.

Some simple weight saving projects, mainly revolving
around removing the heater and fitting a blanking plate,
changing the plywood boot floor for a piece of ali sheet,
removing all the carpets (tunnel, bulkhead, boot and
footwell) and swapping the seat runners for some fixed
lighter ones. You can see the boot
floor and heater

Fitting a De-Dion
upper wishbone in place of the extra link and old
link, to allow fitment of different anti-roll bars
and also to adjust/set-up the camber.
