I've been doing this for about a year now, but have finally got around to putting some stuff up on here.. the idea is to turn it into a fast road/trackday car by the time it's done...

Here's some photos of when it arrived at my place:










It's come on quite a lot since then, and I'll put some more pics up later or tomorrow.

 

more pics

 

Agreed ,lots more pics

 

As above m8 More pics are needed Looks Lovely tho

 

some more _ _ _ _ looks wkd so far

 

ok, so when i first got it i stuck it up on some stands to see what the deal really was.. pleased to say I didn't find any real rot.. just a couple of very small holes in the drivers side foot well, and the front legs are the capri type - which is what I'll need to send them off to Gaz as exchange for the nice new coilovers that will be going on in a few weeks... the doors are a bit manky but they'll be replaced. (I've already got one in my shed waiting to go on.)

 

the next set of pics i need are when it starts to get a bit more fun but they're on one of my other pc's, so i'll sort them later!

 

Started to sort out the floor... needn't have bothered though...

 

looking good m8
but make sure you cut all the rust out or it will come back with a vengence

Not sure if these are in order.. but it gets a lot more interesting after this bit....

Most of the sound proofing removed from the interior:


Interior finished and etch primed:


Loom out and labelled

The car is now at Retromotorsport in Harlow for some fabrication work to be done... this is where it is currently so I'll have to post them up as they go...

 

First off Gary repaired the drip rail ready for the new wing and the hole in the A pillar.. Check out how neat his work

Holes in the floor have been repaired....











And Gary's also started to move the bulkhead back 2 inches to allow me to mount the engine further back and lower...

 

Bulkhead now finished:
(there's more taken out on the left hand side deliberately.. all will be revealed later!)



Large Gearbox tunnel fabricated and installed.. apparently I should be able to change the clutch in 20 minutes on my own with this little puppy





Large Diff tunnel also fabricated installed:

 

Raised Prop tunnel added to complete it
Just needs a hole for the handbrake and gearlever which will be done when I get my engine and box up there to ensure it's spot on!

To say I'm chuffed is a huuuuge understatement!!

Big to Gary @ Retromotorsport for all his hard work!!

 

Gary also temporarily fixed on one of my Group2 Zakspeed arches and put a wheel he had there in position to give an idea of what it will look like when my proper ones show up (hopefully the next day or so!)
