Competition Car Build
Hello, thought I'd throw some of these over here.
Started like this:
Then this
Ordered this
Interior loom and dash removed
Need to fix this from when the omex was in
Engine bay primered
Bonnet pins
Kunifer here for brake lines.
Suspension back on
and engine bay painted
Doing some wiring loom work today and then need to give it a good clean inside ready for cage installation (cage should be here in a week or two)

Well I've got a forged rods and pistons lying around and a knife edged crank so will run that with a set of cams and a stupid compression ratio and see where we end up!

Will be running some avo mono dampers eventually. Drop links and track rod ends will be rose jointed. Rear beam is staying standard apart from some bushes. Front arms will be adjustable or may run adjustable strut tops but not sure yet. Pretty excited to set the car up tbh. Don't want mega adjustability to start with or it'll take an age to get it right.

Not much more to report really until the cage is in. Tank needs dropping and it's also having adjustable top mounts too.
