Well here we go again :wall hopefully I'm going to get time to finish this one.

screen shot windows 7

Plan is I'm going down the group a touring car route (replica) with the looks so it will be 500ish bhp with the livery and centre locks. I will be using it as a track/ race car

 

That looks like an awesome project mate

 

happy days rich ,glad you got sorted


please please please dont run out of patience and sell again mate.just do what i do and dont look at it for months at a time lol

 

Where is it????
Need better pics,stop teasing!

 

Circumstances have changed a lot now mate so should be ok I'm looking forward to doing it.

 

Can you not see the pic lee??

 

Dan Lacey has a set of touring car Leda dampers for sale. Good luck with the project

 

Thanks. I've just Pm'd him reference some wheels.

 

what livery are you thinking rich?

 

No worries what size centre locks? I think they'll need servicing if you buy them. Let me know

 

Kaliber.

 

no no no jon


dont forget to send me those pics mate

 

Don't wanna say just yet mate as I like 3 but the car will be going white as the liverys I have in mind will be based over white.

 

I'll sort them tomorrow mate

 

Wanna run 8.5 x 17s mate if I can.

 

James you'll be pleased to know it's not Kaliber lol

 

good choice ,if its the one im thinking rich

 

cheers jon

 

Aargh bugger I'm wanting him to do some 18's

 

wouldnt bother me anyway rich ,as the way im going it will never see the light of day lol

5 years plus sat like this

 

Will see

 

Haha yeah that's true. Mind you neither will mine with my track record lol.

 

Going to be welding the front end back on once the lamp panels arrive then I will be removing the sun roof, spare wheel well and welding up the old fuel filler.

Spoke to custom cages today so hopefully going to order there multipoint weld in cage tomorrow

 

Even looks nice in that pic mate

 

should stick the pic up in the abandoned thread lol

 

Cool project mate. I hope i you finish it and use it rather than selling it.

 

Me too mate I'm looking forward to building it.

 

Ordered my cage today from custom cages. Not spoke to them before but seem very helpful.

Anyone fitted a cage from them before?

 

Yes,but can't see the car for the stuff on top of it!
Good on you for taking a 3 door and doing something different with it!

 

Ahh. I wasn't sure if the pics were showing properly. Been a while since I've uploaded pics and wasn't sure if I done it right

Yeah it's a little buried at the minute but you'll get to see plenty of it soon hopefully.

 

Is that the one BoschMan/Phil/IMA etc used to have?

 

no mate phils old car went to america in the end and was treated to some big bhp and track action .

mine is steve fitzpatricks old car ,used to run in the daddy thrash back in the day .

 

Ah yes, I know it, I took my car for an MOT one day and it was on the ramps as I pulled up!

 

That's the one mate

 

Anyone had any experience with fibreglass front bumpers?? I bought a rs500 fibreglass bumper off eBay (I won it cheap so wasn't expecting a lot) but it seems to wide on the sides???

 

I got one ages ago and I had to brace it with thin wall
Tube as it was a little out of shape but now it's fine
I also thought it was a touch wide but once it was sorted it was fine

 

Yeah I'm gonna make some bracing for it and make it quick release. I'm thinking about shortening it

 

Mine looked longer
But once fitted it was fine
I did think the same about cutting it then though
Stuff that lol

 

Got any pics Dan?

 

If you are planning on racing be aware during the build that you need to look at what championship you would race in and look at the regulations, some for example ban carbon roofs and theres nothing worse than building a car to race and finding no where to race it!
good luck with the build and if you have any racing questions get in touch
