Ha yeah was thinking about it, would be a lot easier if it came straight out, not at an angle.
Cheers

Cheers dude.
Ah dont! ive got an a4 piece of paper in the garage with everything i can think of, its just lots of small jobs, and a few big jobs which mean the small jobs cant be done, main jobs are making the pedals, mounting the seats, making the inlet pipe, doing the wiring, to name a few. Just time consuming things. Slowly crossing them out though

 

Looks fantastic, well done!

 

this is just so stunning! cannot wait to hear it running

 

absolutely stunning.

 

How had this thread only got 5 pages! Great fab work your highly skilled, finished outcome will be nothing shy of perfect

 

How cool is this car.Its class.I like your camper too.

 

Very cool, would love to own that!

 

Awsome stuff!! It obviously suits you. If anyone ever wants a refrence for you all you have to do is show them this build, simply fantastic work

 

Wow completely forgot about updating this. Haven't really touched the car for a while, but have a few small updates, wasnt going to do any until it was up and running but your words have given me some motivation

Just been finishing lots of small job really, but made this intercooler pipe this evening, pretty difficult as it needed to be a really tight weird angle bend but i think it came out good, just deciding if to put an outlet on for dump valve?








Also got my vipec v88 ecu, map sensor and wiring harness from M A Developments, it looks awesome but im not really too sure what to do with it

Will upload more photos asap

 

overnight parts from japan eh? Paul walker would be proud!!

Car looks awesome mart

Paul

 

Best build on here by far top ecu as well

 

you put a dump valve on that, and im not looking anymore............ *huff*

lol

i so need to see the car in the flesh and im glad others agree its the best build here!

 

Pipes look good martin!! When youv'e welded them up give us a shout il pop over and have a looky!!
You started your wiring yet?

 

bugger i was hoping you would use the std managment so i could see how the wiring could be modded

 

any updates

 

great project m8, coming on well

could you not turn the oil cooler 90 degrees and lower into the appartures (the 2 either side of the cranking handle hole) under the grill?
Just think it would free up cooler air to the intercooler

steve

 

Love this ! Can't wait to see it and hear it when it's finished!!
Look forward to more updates.
Regards
Tony

 

stunning build looks awsome well done

 

Small update as i havent got time to upload all the photos of the progress, but here are a couple of photos. Just a few things left to do, should be out and about in a couple of months... he says.
Will do a more detailed update soon.














Fitted the fuel tanks and mounted all the boot stuff






Finished the dry sump system, just need the belt for the pump. Had to take the sump pan off and refit with sealing o rings and new bolts, all 29 of them!

 

Wow that's so cool mate

 

Really hope you upload some vids when this is done.

Love it!

 

Loving this mate, would love to have a passenger ride wants its done and ill take you out in my morgan race car

 

How cool is this !!!!!!

Who's mapping it for you mate

 

Yeah of course, that would be awesome! was just reading your build, top work


Thanks
Hoping to get the loom and mapping done by MA Developments in the next few months or so

 

No comment left on my build though tut tut lol

Im sure we can sort something mate

 

WOW

i hope you are coming to some shows this year.......... need to see this and have a chat!

 

Looking awesome with you! Its going to need a re feature

 

Cracking build with some very inovative solutions

Well Done looking great

David

 

Awesome!!!

 

Hello fat man!! have you not finished this yet?!!? :-P

Paul

 

Proper cool car this.Keep the good work coming.

 

Martin,
did you get my PM?

Mac

 

This is easiest my favorite car on pf, without doubt.. Stunning!

 

Interesting project, any updates?

 

I get a little excited whenever I see this pop up again

Just out of curiosity, how do you intend to change spark plugs?

 

Been making some good progress, not long now.

Made a strut brace, had these discs laser cut


Made up a jig of the top of the suspension mounts so i could make it on the bench










not bad for Ł30


Also ive decided to run it now with front and rear bumpers so got new chrome ones, also repaired and painted the rear valance as the previous exhaust bent it when it went on the rollers.






Decided to do away with the front lexan windows and put the original opening quarters in, who would know they are fibre glass doors


Brought a second hand pair of cobra classic seats and stripped them right down to narrow the frame so they would fit in the car around the tunnel.
Decided i wanted to put head rests in them so brought the headrests from cobra, made up some sleeves on the lathe and job done. They will be trimmed in blue and cream.










Also my dad brought this Austin j40 so will be getting stuck into that in a few months

 

Haha yeah a bit of an after thought one, i can just about get them out with a specially made tool

 

Nice to see it coming along, does it run yet then?

 

This must be the build of 2012/3, its simply awesome!!

 

Cheers, means alot

Not just yet, getting everything finished then taking it to get the engine loom done

Seats are done now, same colour as the interior door panels.
