That looks amazing!!

 

Cutch it's looking lovely. Well done to everyone involved

 

Right been busy all day but not on the car! Got the power sterring pipe off and I will sort it tomorrow.



Also got the braces out for the powder coater. Thinking about a mercury grey colcourlike the gearbox mount? Ally wants me to do it crackle black, what do you think?



Then i started rubbing down the downpipe for tomorrow, the exhaust is getting made and the boys said it would save alot of effort if the downpipe was there. Its a bit bashed but will hopefully help them out a bit.

Before



After



Tomorrow the exhaust! looking forward to that.

 

One step closer ay cutch

 

getting there buddy, cant wait to be able to reverse the thing out of the garage and work on it in the sunshine......if there is any!

 

You never stop do you lol.Top work again.

 

haha I just need to fit in two months of resto into one mate cos I work offshore. Plus i am desperate to get it on the road now, the end is in sight!

It's coming along Cutch, the rate your going it'll be done in no time

I was having a look at my SpecR header and breather tank yesterday after looking at the pic of your header tank being a tight fit to the inner wing. Mine don't fit under so looks like i'll have to get the top outter edge modified to be angled rather than square


Keep up the good work

I've only seen this under a car cover in the dark and the bits I could see were STILL gleaming,it's MINT!!!!

Great effort fella.

I'd love to do something like this myself with my now redundant saff shell but I know it's just gonna end up scrapped on the drive.

 

coming on fast now mate looking lovely

 

Yeah mate, it wont fit, mine took a couple of spacers and a bit of persuasion!

I would love to say go for it mate but its getting to the point that i am on the verge on hating the thing! It wont be long and it will be done and the driving bit starts!

Cheers dude









Right i had great intensions of getting up early and taking the car to ayr (miles away) to get the exhaust done but when i drove out the house onto the motorway i got held up in a traffic jam cos of some bloody lorry on it side for about an hour, late already! The then about 5 miles down the road somethign happened........can you tell what it was yet??

You guessed it.



Can you tell whats wrong with this pic...



I was a very lucky boy and a true gentleman that owns G.F. Autos in Muirhead took a wheel off his own trailer and let me borrow it to get down to Allys where he had a nice new one sitting waiting to be changed over. Once i got down there Ally changed the tyre and got it back on and i went to ayr. The car was meant to be getting picked up tonight and brought back but today kinda blew that to f**k so it will be tomorrow now, cant wait, saw some of the guys work and it was amazing! Looking forward to showing the the finished article.

 

just read this full thread mate its some piece of kit. well done.

i live in ayr i take it its jonny at elite doing the exhaust?

cheers

 

No mate, Willie at Meercat.

Wait till you see the pics, couldn't be happier!

 

I know wullie well mate you should have said to me

 

them fans look good cutch!!

 

Didnt think mate, he really is good aint he. Some of the work he showed me was truly excellent.


Yeah mate, good call. Might need you on standby next week for overnighting a couple of bits Mr Will Pedley is sorting the loom, checking everything out and starting up! I bet you there will be bits I have forgotten about and there will be a anxious phonecall!

 

Picked up the car today and couldnt be happier about the job from Meercat exhaust in Ayrshire, Willie certainly knows his stuff and his welding is some of the best i have ever seen!













And even caught Mr Pedley doing some work!





That pleased with his work I am taking the bike down too when i get it back!

 

looking good cutch whats next ? i had a blow out in on the trailer in scotland never know roads like them

 

Sweet that

 

Tomorrow, bleed brakes, heater matrix on. Billet fuel rail, diff oils, gearbox oils, engine oil. Need to work on petrol tank for weld on aero quip fittings and sort something on steering column. Mine was a nail in the Tyre!

 

Come on really fast this, looking great.

 

Stunning build.

 

Lookin nice m8!

 

Bloody lovely mate

Gonna be a real head turner

Great progress fella

 

That exhaust is quality. Top work there.

 

over in kilbirnie? ye ive only ever heard good things about his work. theres the proof!

 

looks awesome

 

yeah willie in kilbirnie, will be using him again!

Ally put all the fluids in today, diff oils, gearbox, engine, power steering and bled the brakes.

My missing water pipe turned up with some other bits from north yorkshire rs spares (paul)





Put on my billet fuel rail after some modifications!





Then it was the front and rear strut brace to get eh crackle treatment.













Get the car home tomorrow.

 

Good work fella

 

very good work

 

Pretty amazing how this car has turned out considering what you started with and the carry on you had earlier with the fabrication.

 

Went and picked up the car today and just before we took it away realised we had to modify something else. Took it to see Wee John (the guy that made the car) and he sorted it out for us.

Steering column felt like it moved a bit from side to side so he put a wee quick brace in.



The man himself!



And back home again,



Put the strut brace on to see if it looked ok, was a bit worried about the choice of colour/finish. What do you think. My choices were white, the same grey as the powder coated pieces (gearbox mount etc) or crackle black.

 

Looking good Cutch

Crackle matched the inlet etc so keeps with the scheme,

It's coming together so fast now, superb

 

think its bang on fella


got my pedley staying at mine monday evening so if you need any of them trim bits , figure it out over the weekend and ill send them up with him tuesday sweetcheeks
