Have kept rebuild of my car out of GD untill i knew it was almost completed. Think its about time it was unveiled, its not complete still a few finishing details to go but its 99% there .

Short video cant convey how good it really is but im well chuffed, the polished strut bar & screamer pipe just fit perfectly with the Black theme of the rest of the car .
Still need adjust bonnet & bumper shut lines, its going to a Studio next week so Pete has a short snagging list .

Have a new cam belt cover but it looks perfect without it so i may not fit it .


This is how it started



Short video gives some idea what it looks like, sorry about music was the first track i hit on calle 'Highway Blues' thought it might be better .

Looks good Rod
Bumper looks spot on, should get plenty of air to the cooler

 

If it's a tue when you do a top speed run and there's a north easterly 14 knot wind what tyre pressure will you need to beat the record?

 

vids cool , but still images would be alot better tbh rod


beef

 

fat,cant wait to see it going.

 

when will you be bringing it to a pub meet to "show us what it'll do mister"?

looking forward to reading some good thigns baout it mate

 

That looks mint! Look forward to seeing more pics/vids of it in action

 

looks stunning mate, all the best with it this year

 

going for 215 mph

crossing everything for you Rod will be a remarkable achievement if you do manage it

 

Jaaaaazzz ...Niiiiice,, Niice...

 

you know its serious when the turbo is nearly the same size as the engine lol, looks the bollox cant beat no bullshit non shinny non bufty pure functional engine bays

 

Dont do pub meets the Proton is less aggro & i want to eat not talk about cars .

 

nice, is that a turbo or a dustbin lid?
good luck with the 215.

 

very nice Rod and good luck reaching 215mph

 

I agree, Video is actually for my website. Stills are being done next week at a pro studio, as i near retirement from this caper i want some reminders to show the nurses in the old peoples home, even if i cant remember what its all about .

 

when are you thinking of running it Rod as we aint seen you for a while ! all well i hope ?

 

Rod did you get it sorted for return to Marks? Not working next sat if thats any help?


Cheers

 

that looks good rod and best of luck with your goals this year

 

Thats turbo's bleeding huge And that strut brace looks the bollocks.
Good luck with hitting 215mph.

 

These are the only stills i have

 

I sent you a PM Dave about getting it back on the 13th. .

 

Its going back to Marks for final fettling & then a period of testing on the road, want it at Central day. The first trip when its running will be to show it to my driver , so tell Greg to start taking the pills.

 

fuck that looks proper naughty!!

 

Ok l can pick it up as l still have trailer and jeep


Will give pete a ring and arrange it



Cheers

 

looking nice rod.

 

That looks a work of art good luck

 

that looks the dogs rod. hope it does 215

 

we all cant wait and i bet Greg is shocked even though he has driven some very quick machinery over the years

 

looks awesome..cant wait to have a closer look at central day

 

Looks ace, best saph cos imo, setting new standards and raising the bar to rediculous heights but what will happen to it once its done whats it built for? I hope it'll get used and not broken up like 90% of the big builds.
I'm thinking that bufty screamer pipe will turn gold on is first hard run???

 

There's a chance lads lol.... not Theirs.


Small point, but as its going out worldwide


Engine bay is looking well, and that turbo really is a monster !!!!

 

Your right, i must start watching these vidss before i post its not the first or the second time .

 

Very nice Rod, I hope you do well

 

looking good rod, shame about the music

 

that turbo does look a weapon,hmmmmmmm i wonder if i move my rad forward abit it might go in the fiesta?........

 

carnt wait to see this back home on the roads of basingstoke lol and hear it as u can all across basingstoke when this hits the ring road on full boost (setting the standard for really fast in gear cossies yet again rod!)

 

I dunno, turbo looks a bit too small
















































Looks great Rod. Best of luck

 

good luck rod, hope you achieve the magic number, let me know when you go down for the run and ill tag along if possible, i think it will help to have a look at the place and we can talk all things top speed.

p.s thats still the gt42 on the engine, what are you planning with the borgwarner, use that on the road after you have done the top speed?

 

looks well. whens the record run
