great work boys !!

will leaving today ( friday ?)

 

Welll todays fire up day cutch. This is what you have been working to. I am busy at work but still had to come on to check for updates.

Well done to all involved

 

 

top work

 

I love this photo!

Sorry if i've missed it but what sort of power/torque are you going for?

 

Sorry guys been busy! Here's a wee teaser!

 

Was 383HP when it went on to the rollers before I started. Hoping to be 380/380. Will get it dynoed when I get home next time.

 

Right its been a busy couple of days and I cant thank Will enough for his hard work. He has pulled some long shifts on this car but his work is exemplary! I love it, the engine bay is tidy as!

Tested the donor chassis loom.



Couple of randoms





Fuel system finished and all aeroquipped! Love the stuff that could get addictive!



Nice tidy hoses



Breather hiding up there too



Return line in the background



Route to front



One of my favourites



The mess inside



Found the one from stripping the donor loom!



Ready to start up



Forgot to take some pics of my remote filter that I spent so long aero quiping





Put the centre caps on the wheels and got it onto the ground






Some of Wills nice wiring and braiding



Will fixed a lot of plugs etc that were worn/split etc



Then we did this!!

Will get a better one this morning but this was at 02:40am……yes AM!! The missus was not happy! Came down and shouted at us complaining about the neighbours……don’t think she understands eh!

 

i take it the last one is you driving it out of garage. well done its taken alot of hard work to get it this far.

 

Just read your thread must say I love the attention to detail. Good to see it running, just the easy bits to do now.

When I clicked on the video I was hoping to hear your missis come in having a go lol. But count yourself lucky my wife wouldn't let me work on the car that late.

 

Fantastic guys! Bet ya can't wait to drive it now

 

Can't wait till i get to hear mine running

Stella effort by you and will

 

Must be awesome to hear it run

 

Excellent project, very nicely finished too.

I hate it when people go to all the trouble and expense and cobble it together in the end.

Well done guys

 

380/380 will be rather nice!

PMSL at firing it up in the middle of the night only to get bollocked by the wife!

 

Fantastic progress , you must be well chuffed. You always remember your first start up !! (so will your neighbours by the sounds of it lol)

Steve

I spent about 2 hours reading this entire thread from start to finish earlier.

Can'e beleive you was pissed about so much in the beginning by someone you know and thought you could trust to do a professional job in a time scale you required AND with poor workmanship too in places

Absolutely LOVED reading the thread andthe car is a true credit to yourself and Aly aswell!

Looking forward to seeing it at some shows this year - Simply stunning

Brilliant work mate, sounds fantastic


I'm so looking forward to getting mine running, gonna be a while yet though :-(



Ginger

Yes mate, nervous as hell starting it but it was worth it!

Thanks, alot of effort but didnt want to rush the finish. Dont think i will do this again!

yeah she wasnt happy, but she sat out in the sunshine beside me washing it today so cant have been that bad!

Yeah, luckily a bunch of the boys in my streeet are all bikers etc and they love the car, the guy across the road said he woke up and nudged the wife and "glad he did it" !!!

Thanks mate thats great, cant wait to fit it and go for a burn!


It will be next time i am home, got a couple of more wee jobs to do and sort out all the interior, but that should be pretty easy compared to whats happened up to now. Should have it out and about before i go back next time. Just in time for summer and the shows

 

Beautiful m8! I'm well jealous lol !!!!! Iv hid my loom so Dave cant find it! Lol! Only jokin m8 il sort it out 4 him.

 

Dont need loom Jay just need to measure your shell

 

That looks brilliant! Makes me wanna sell my jap shed and build one myself!!

 

Love it mate well done Are you fitting the spot lamps ? I think it would suit them

 

just a quickie mate ,


is there any issues with the in feed of the fuel( main pipe ) tank being at the bottom of the tank regards filling it up ???


as in the pic below ?

havent looked into my tank yet but the way yours is would solve some clearance issues ,



maybe aly could clear it up ?

 

thanks mate, yours will be there soon, hurry up and we'll have them both at the shows!


Thanks for making it up for me dave

you know you should!

thanks mate, yeah got a set here but they arent the best, got told you can still buy them new from ford though!


Good call mate, never thought of that, we put 25 ltrs in it the other night and didnt have any probs, got a decent breather in there so that should help, will try it out on a pump next time back.



Well the cars back in its hole for a while!





Forgot the strut brace the other day so laid it on for a quick snap
