thanks for the comments guys!

ordered up some Gaz Gold's last week, from woodford garage motorsport. the coilovers are now buildt at Gaz and simon (nice guy!) from woodford said that i would have it before x-mas!

an-couplings and a aeromotive fuelreg is also going to be ordered today.

going to the workshop now, hoping to get the plates over the de-compression-sones ready, and weld up the holes in the floor.

 

GAZ are here!

got them today, really fast delivery by woodford, ordered on 4. december. not bad consider they had to be buildt and shipped from Gaz

many thanks to Simon at Woodford! top guy! well recommended

 

okay, here we are for a small updata again.

finished the inside of the car, only some cleaning and then paint left to do.



made a sturdy bracket for the hydraulic handbrake, didn't have the gearbox in at the time of allignement, but i think i would clear the gearstick



started on the gearbox, as we all know the fifth gear on the t5 is a pain to get off in one piece. i did not manage that, clipped 3 small parts of the sprocket...


the rest of the box is in parts


ordered up a new fifth gear sprocket, synchro's for 1.2.3. and 4. gear and seals as they didn't look so good. the rest of the box was good so no more changes. ordered from burtonpower just before newyear, i'm hoping to get the parts soon, so the box can get in the car again.

next project after the inside of the car is this


blueboy is now totally stripped and ready for a makeover


cheers!

 

Keep up the good work not done alot on mine for a long time

 

hi again guys, small update this time

bought a set of 8x18" Raceline RL-7 rims, powdercoated in dark grey.

need some new tyres on them, and a slight adjustment on the offset to get them under the arches





also, the car is now all masked up, ready for painting. gonna paint it next weekend, just need som more cleaning inside

cheers!

 

those wheels are the only right ones

 

 

Are you sure you need to do something about the ET when you get 215/35 tyres on?

 

The wheels look LOVELY i got a 8j x17 witha 215 tyre on and sits in the arch lovely its a shame there old wheels and cant find an others

 

looking good

 

thanks for the comments guys, i'm really happy about the wheels to

the car is now painted inside!

i'm not to happy with the painting (done by myself with a cheap spray-gun), but the inside, with the cage, is now white.

some random pictures:

 

very good work!!! keep up!!!

 

Fantastic car mate, looks great!

 

 

 

Great build, giving me loads of ideas for mine.

What are you doing for door cards and headlining ?

 

 

thanks for all the comments guys, it's much more fun to work on a car that you get positive feedbacks on

loader5710: i've just ordered up two 1x2m aluminium plates in 0.7mm thickness, that's goiing to be used for now. want to get some carbon ones later, but the budget (or my other half that i'm living with ) isn't quite ready for that now. maybe next year...
the headlining is just staying like it is, white. have some plans for the whole roof sometime but yet again, the other ha...ehhh..."budget" stops it...

cheers!

 

Thats the way Im going, ally covered with some sort of alacantra type material until i find some nice reasonably priced carbon ones.
I'm keeping my headling though as england is so wet, condensation gets to be a prob, so keeping it should help.

 

gonna make the door cards and a plate to all the gauges/switches and all electric on this year, and i was hoping that i could use these as moulds for carbon bits next year...

been talking to a guy that teached the lads at the koeningsegg-factory how to make carbon-bits, to come and give us a few tips'n'tricks

 

keep me in mind if you get any luck

 

coming along nicely..well done

 

alright, some progress that is finnally showing something. wass acctually goiing to assemble the gearbox and mount it yesterday, but i needed a motivation-change, and decided to mount some of the "inner-bits"

some of the part are just test-fitted as the next "indoor"-thing now, is to start building the wiring for the whole car.

pictures are always good entertainment







also managed to make up some templates for the door cards.


thinking about spraying the door card in matt black, what do you guys think?
i'm not really into bare aluminium for some reason. also, i think the black/white colour-theme is good. the yellow kinda brakes up a bit to, don't you think?

 

Agreed !

Looks stunning

 

awesome stuff

 

Nice project. should have flocked the dash before fitting it.

 

thanks for the comments

arne; it's on my to-do-list for next winter, along with carbon door-cards and instrument-panel

 

Totally agree with everyones comments love the car

Gonna be a really fun car when your all done. Keep up all the good work

 

good work boyo's

 

a little update; the gearbox is now in one piece, and mounted in the car a long with the starter, freshly skimmed flywheel, 6pad clutch and an uprated pressure plate(?). also welded the plate that goes between the engine and the flywheel on to the block with 2 small welds. tired of fooling around with the plate each time the box is out.

also welded up a box for the battery that is now going in the back of the car, an also started on a plate that is going to cover the hole around the B&M-shifter.

all the mechanical bits that now remains is to fill the box with oil, mount the moongoose, mount intercooler and alu radiator with fans, mount the crankshaft pulley with the 36-1 wheel, make a new oil breather tank and fit some hoses here and there slowly getting there...was hoping to get all this done on this week, so i could start on the wiring in the easter-week.

pictures will follow in a few days

BUT! how do i change my topic?!? any tricks, guys?

 

Olek, to change the topic title you click edit on your first post, then click 'go advanced' at the bottom of the little grey area and you should be able to change it there!

Car is looking fantastic mate, great work! Cage looks awesome

 

thanks for the tip, Dan. but my first post has 36 pictures in it, and when i try to change the topic, i get an error message saying that i can only have 20 pictures in each post...don't know what to do, doesn't want to change everything i have written in the first post either.

maybe a mod/admin can fix it?

 

hi again guys, small update with some pictures today.

the gearstick-arragnement

made a hook for the steering wheel, a snap-off is goiing to be used.

made a battery-box

door-cards in mild steel, ordered aluminium but. will do for this year...


also mounted the gaz golds, the pectel wiring is coming together and the some small things around the engine has found it's place.

looking pretty tired now, needs to be washed!!




also ordered up fuel hoses, an-couplings and a aeromotive fuel reg from summit racing now, should arrive in a week or two...

cheers!

 

Thats looking rude!

 

finnaly a new update!

have done a few things on the car now,
-gaz's are mounted and adjusted, need to rise it at the front, about a cm or so
-mounted new an8 and an6 braided fuel hoses, soldered the fuel-rail to accept an-couplings, mounted the aeromotive a1000 fuel reg.
-made a new catch-tank.
-mounted pace intercooler, radtec radiator ++
-pectel is now in place along with modified crank whell (36-1) and modified distributor.
-generally tidying up the engine bay

also got some 215-35/18 tyres on the rl7's, REALLY pleased about the wheel!!
need to fold the front arches and do som minor adjustment on the offset, but nothing major.
to cut time and money short i have decided to use the orginal electrical harness, just remove all the things that arn't needed

picture-time:







as you can see, the car is FINALLY on it's wheels!! still need to do some minor things underneath, but i just had to have a look with the rl7's

 

Nice job mate !

 

Brian
