If you get it looking like that Beef with some Carbon added aswell that will be one of the best if not the best S1 ive ever seen!

WENNY

very nice mate, ive stopped myself loads of times making my mk3 look like a s1

dojj

iTrader: (3)

the only thing that's letting that down is the colours of the front and rear bumpers mate

i'm sure there will be a way to get the strips on the doors carried across to the ends of the bumpers and onto the bits under them it would make it a smoother transition

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

yeah can see what your saying dojj ,

dont think it would look better with black bumpers


sure phils started making them in cf

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

uptate later this eve peeps , just popping to karls to collect camera

tommytxr

that looks the muts nuts m8

dojj

iTrader: (3)

not completly black, just the ends that are on the sides of the bodywork to compliment the lines running down the doors

possible for someone to photoshop them on to see what they might look like?

ok peeps been a cpl days since the last update , but works been progressing ,


lots of pics, lol


so k and graham have been busy on the car while i had some agency work ,


so the tubs have been made up ,

karls added a lip to the shortend inner floor sections to allow the wide tub to be re fitted like factory with spotwelds ,





tus were then fully welded up !







then refitted to the car , spotwelded on the bottom , plugwelded @ the top









small patch repair on the lower rear sill








k also found time to repair the chassis legs rear to refit ,

this is where the spring platforms would be , old topskin removed










and with that done the o.e floor was cut to fit , to use as a template for the new floor ,




you can now see the line of where the chassis leg was origanally via the spotweld holes ,




with that karl made a start on the rear turrets , still in the working out stage , obv without the rear end fully set in position theres a few questions were working out , namely height of the turret and if it should have any inward inclination ,

few pics of what it will look like though






should see the shock well out of reach of the wheel ,

and karls decided on a tubular rear welded in brace to help keep everything where it should be , im going to see me old mucka andy @ geronimo cages to bend me up a peice of suitable tube ,

speaking of tube , as ive been allowed out by the missus ,i thought id get on with the new tube front crossmember that andy @ geronimo bent me up ages ago

so first off the 70mm intercooler was fitted on factory cos mount points


big thanks to wenny for loaning me this !




fits like a dream lol and requried no modding lol

but with the fans mounted on front i was unsure the new cm would fit ,

so fans off , crossmember mocked in place ,




idea was to have it run parralell and flush inside the front panel , thus keeping airflow restriction to a minimum whist retaining the full front panel,

so after a bit of trimming




the front legs were originally cut back to aid fitting the floor pan , and while they were 99% long enough to fit the cm it didnt look to well , so 60 mm extensions were folded and then i got them welded on , there over length atm , but they will be cut and folded to make up weldable tabs for the front panel







as you can see , ive a fair way to go before my weldings up to par with karls lol


k had on his micheal jackson gloves !! heeeeeeeeeee hhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeee



so with them done and the cm marked ,

k welded it into position





and how it looks visually


with the intercooler refitted



note , because of the angles i had andy put in rather than a strait tube , ill actually get away with fans on the front if i need to , and room below for a nice oil cooler

and how it looks with the old front panel back in place ,

where did it go !???





worked out perfectly , and still har the factory rad mount holes behind ,

whils on with this , k got on with modifying the rear floor as it needed tweaking with the chassis legs mooving inward ,



basically the floor drops too low to fit the leg correctly ,

not a problem for k lol

the clearance



old vs new - note the depth on the old







will be welded in tomorrow along with the other side

and how the underside now looks





ohh and unbeknownst to me ,lol when we were last at the auto trade fair k picked up a liter of " stornaway grey " as a cheap colour to paint bits n bobs with ,

anyway , not knowing what cars are painted with that he researched it and it turns out its the gunmetal styley colour of the new range rovers , defenders ect ,

so , the twat painted half me quarter in the stuff , lol





its fucking stunning , and its now a 50-50 between this and seal grey ,



and ,........................

considering hes not a painter , the prep consisted of a light da , wipe down and a thin coat of primer , and a poslih after it was dried

id say he done a fucking good job lol ,



so work continues , hopefully k's new swager arrives tomorrow and im off for the steel for the boot ,

will keep you lot posted ,


beef - k & graham

Rab

Thats fucking outstanding!



I can't think of anything else to say.




Except, hurry up and finish it so I can see it....

excellent project looks like no corners are being cut and everything is being done properly.

fair play!!

billy.

hi Beefy i was wondering how the chassis legs was going to fit, i still think it would be easier to cut 6"out of center line of the floor and bring the whole lot in 3" ether side but that works and looks great!!, still cant get over the fab and welding quality, FAULTLESS!!. Id like to see a metallic grey imo lol,

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

its 6 n 2 -3s billy regards the cutting , but rember you would still have to add with to the tubs ect , so this was imho is more thorough , allows you to chec and tweak evrything as it goes in for a complete look ,


also the idea of removing the legs ect allowed us to blast them , thus removing any rot lurking in the inside , and making sure its 1000% rot free, even in the places you cant see,






been thinking about this for the last day or so and as after discussions with k the tanks going in the boot ,

im thinking about a carbon undertray for the rear , just to be a little different ,


now dont want to look garish or ott , but had the idea off a escos i saw recently lol ,

sometheing like this ?



black line shows where i would cut the back panel , and red lines indicate vertical cf wings

similar to this ?





idea would be to knock it up in thin ply and send it to phil , or but the sheet in and cut bond and make ourselves ,



opinions ?

Do it mate!

There are great benefits from fitting one.. just need to make sure that front to back is as smooth and flat as possible.
