Does sound superb though mate!

Took the old girl out for a drive last Saturday and upon coming home I gave her the usual inspection. Found some oil mist on my inner wing that I identified as PAS fluid.



On investigating further I found that my HP PAS line was leaking a small amount of fluid through the core of the hose.
I removed it before it failed, caused a fire or worse.
I took it to my hydraulics shop for a second opinion. They were very helpful as always and put the failure down to heat, and the hose being used slightly outside its rated pressure.
The shop made me up a brand new heavy duty hose there and then free of charge.




I've also been cutting the car up again. Although I'll let the photos do the talking here.








More to come soon

frayz

Couple more bits to do and she's ready for some paint.
Mesh is just test fitted for now.

Robs Frst

Hey mate. I love the bugeye's and your is a killer!
Will your new vent just vent hot air straight into the scoop?

Looks sweet anyway!

Won't matter as he has a front mount intercooler mate.

frayz

Bonnet requires polishing, final fitting and a number plate but I think she looks pretty hardcore now.

fogulbennett

That looks awesome with the extra vent! Cars an absolute tool!

Gadget

You don't belong here roundhead, go home :-P

frayz

Lol, hello Thomas

Got a new addition for the car today.
4ltr Lifeline fully plumbed in extinguisher. This is in addition to the 2.25ltr handheld extinguisher in front of the passenger seat.

frayz

Some of you know the inside is having a few changes and a freshen up. First to arrive is an all new bespoke made gauge pod for the dash top that aims 3 meter at the driver.
This has been made from the original clock housing so fitment is OEM.





View from my drivers seat.



My previous flocked carbon one is for sale.

frayz

A couple of my parts needed reflocking after 6 years but in fear of a poor colour match on the new VS old I decided to rip it all out and start again.

Also a nice opportunity to tidy wiring and run the extinguisher pipework with the dash now out of the way.

frayz

Spent the morning tidying up wiring and generally making parts cleaner to use and nicer to get to should I need to at a later date.
Also got the tank bolted up. I went to get a nice bulkhead fitting today which will allow me to do all the plumbing in the car while the dash is out. Then I can pop the scuttle panel off and plumb in the nozzles whenever I want.

Looking good Frayz, just fired up the TME and now the automotive compass is in a mess

frayz

Extinguisher all plumbed in cabin side, bracket made and cable fitted.




Also the second of my interior pieces is nearly done. Still in primer, but fits nice.
Huge thanks to my mate Ian for his work on the plastic pieces. Superb quality as always.

Just read this from start to finish, stunning build with fantastic litte touches and great attention to detail.

Whats your plans for the car now? Got any trackdays booked?

frayz

Plans include a cage and various other little bits n bobs. No track days booked as yet but for now im enjoying it as for what I built it. A hugely capable fast road blast

Was you flying about the lanes in this yesturday? Me and the missus was heading back from Bradwell and past 1 that looked just like it???

frayz

Yes I was with my girlfriend coming back from Boreham. I live in Steeple.

frayz

Sure it was me Marc as I certainly wasn't flying about as you put it. Not with the lady in the car anyway.

M K

iTrader: (9)

well maybe not flying but we was in a vauxhall diesel estate so it probably just seemed you were going quicker
