Folowing on from the Maestro
Day one
As it looks now, almost ready for the weld in roll cage, which I'm not looking forward to fitting (due to arrive in about 10 days)
The cage thats going in

Sorry for no updates, but work is running us both into the ground right now and the car is no where near completion
But the cage is finished
Pedal box fitted
Making up the seat mounts, brake brakets and mockup drive shafts this weekend
It'll be at least 3 months before its out for the first time I'm afraid
The scaffolding

Due to one thing or another its been a long time since I've been able to do any work on the car but today I managed to get down to the unit to have a play with the new suspension.
Avo remotes fitted
Car now looking less like a 4x4
Adjustable top mounts also fitted for a little bit of extra camber
Caliper brakets made and 330mm front brakes now fitted with brembo radials

M Series manifold modified to take the Cosworth throttle body
And then onto the fuel lines
Still need to tig weld the return line at the 90 bend
And fix the 044 pump and tank
After removing the front of the car including the cross member the RS500 cooler was fitted into place
Then it was time to warm up the TIG and make a water return pipe
Whilst the TIG was out it was time to make the air intake

Whilst playing with wires I decided to replace all the dash gauges for Stack ones
Downpipe closeups
Doors done
Tailgate lightened
Fibreglass bonnet fitted
Front engine mount made up
Oil cooler fitted and connected
Front engine mount fininshed and VibraTechnics installed
I wasn't happy with the pedal box so I cut the floor and bulkhead out, modified the pedal box and moved it all down and forward
Manged to get another 60mm of leg room
Finally started fitting the door cards
Got the car weighed with all remaining parts in the car along with fluids and it came in at 930kg which isn't too bad considering the T16 weight
