Andy and the lads have done a stunning job on this, the paints not quite there yet, still a few finishing touches to be added...............................


I'll let the pics do the talking




Bonnet and side reps on


Shiney new Pro Alloy fuel cell and enough 'quip to settle the national debt

Got the flocked dash in too(Cheers Doug aka Garage19) and trial fitted one of the seats we may be using

started to route the fire extinguisher system too


I'm tackling the loom on Wednesday, cause I've been sunning myself in Blackpool all weekend and avoiding any hard graft
so I'll put some more pics up then

Enjoy

Looks great with a lick of paint ,i would go for a better set of seats though with what you have done to the car i think the seat in there lets it down, just my input not a dig in any way

Thats where the filler cap was, welded it up but lost the line a bit when it was painted, so its being re-done

There's most likely gonna be a set of better seats in there before it hits a track, just using these to see a more complete car, makes you think you've got less work to do when there's more bits bolted in!!

Coley cheers mate

Great project!

Update time!.........................
Spanky new Tremec TKO600 gearbox from Martoon With a fancy new centre push hydraulic clutch fitted, forgot to take any pics of it though
So Martoon could you stick a pic up please?

Bolted to the engine ready for fitting, after swearing at the spigot bearing for 3 hours


And the YB has a new home


Slight mod to the floor to let the gear stick through (done with a hacksaw for now Pics when its tidied and done properly



Should have some more piccies and progress tomorrow, the diffs fitted in the beam, just got to modify the diff hanger to get it to fit
Get the prop in, mod the gearbox mount to finalise that, wire it all up, fit the brakes and its done!

nearly
