Looking beautiful mate.

 

Thanks mate you got yours on the road again ?.

 

 

tHANKS

 

i got a parcel today from Warren penalver
To


from


contents


i sold Warren a plumbed in fire extinguisher with no mount bracket a few months back then he asked if he could borrow the mount bracket from the extinguisher i am fitting in my car so i sent it up to him.






And i found this also in the box






The finish is top notch im well chuffed .

THANKS WARREN YOUR A STAR


PS I JUST REMEMBERED ITS ALSO BULLET PROOF HE PUT KEVLAR ON THE BACK

 

That look's Awsome

Well done Warren

 

very nice

 

the kevlar is so even in a heavy impact to the mount itself, carbon alone would crack up into pieces eventually where as the kevlar would hold it together (albeit smashed up) so the extinguisher should not come loose in theory.

 

good idea but bullet proof sounds better lol.

 

Hmmmm Carbon.

I actually prefer that to the blue one.

Love the packaging

 

nice packaging warren. laughed my bollocks of lol

 

Thanks Paul carbon is so much better than anodized blue alloy

i laughed a lot to when i read it ,but the wife was a bit disappointed when i opened the box to see there was no dvd or diy store banning info inside .

 

carbon is the future !

 

I did something similar to ritchie when i sent him some sportka badges a year back, although i think i went on base to borrow some "top secret" stamps etc and double bagged it all
can you chuck it on the scales?? forgot to do it after id put the rubber strips on so not sure of final wieght compared to original.

 

i vaguely remember about some one on here having the parcel all stickered up to do with penis enlarging pumps .i think it was rainbum .



i just weighed the ally one & its 344grams
carbon one is 196grams.
so its a win win for me.

 

nice work warren, i wouldnt mind one of them for the mk3

 

Any news Escos...?

 

been a bit busy at work but i done a bit today .

 

finally got into the garage to do a bit more on the car so i started by cutting up the rear struts i made a while back


so i can get more room to get bigger wheels & it also straightens up the struts






i also made up the brackets to fit the wrc spec bladed anti roll bar




Richie came round this afternoon to have a look at the car he also brought one of his 10x18 mo,s to trial fit with 265 /35/18 888,swhich measure 280mm .
They fitted alright with 3" clearance on inside of wheel so i should be able to get the 12" rims i want to fit.

he has also convinced me to do a full trial fit of running gear ,so painting it is on hold for a bit longer

 

looking good andy not a bad idear doing a mock up

 

Looking good Andy

 

doing a full mok up nice to here

 

Thanks lads
Richie is dropping one of his spare engine blocks down tomorrow so i can start mocking it up .

 

Looking Good andy. I do like your bladed anti roll bar.

Good idea to mock it up. You don't want to scratch it once painted.

 

Do like that Andy..................superb again

 

Thanks Paul Richie convinced me to do the mock up .
Thanks mate

 

Andy fantastic work and what sort of wheel you going for. split rims would be nice? 10" or 12" top work

 

im hoping to get 3 piece image split rims .

10" x18ON THE FRONT
12"x18 ON THE REAR

i would prefer to get these


but i may have to get these

 

Wheel porn

 

ben busy lately ,i got the engine ,gearbox ,front x member in .im just finishing off making a gear box x member then i will be routing the exhaust pipe past the gearbox through the prop tunnel then into a 3" x2x2.1/4 t peace for the twin side exit exhaust just in front of the rear wheel .
i also finished connecting the steering column to the rack ,cut a hole for gear stick in tunnel ,also got a load of bits ready to go & get stove enamelled which a mate is doing for me .
i will put pics up later on this evening .

 

Nice choice of wheels, I had the same in mind for the 309..... When funds allow that is !

Carbon holder looks good

 

thanks Jonny they are a great looking wheel but like you i will have to wait until i can afford them

 

picture time
new gearbox x member





exhaust will run above x member & silencer will go below where hand brake is located in tunnel .
steering column all finished


hole for gear lever finally cut

im part way through getting the exhaust pipe in right place.
