Bloody good effort!

Please lose the bad boy bonnet though

 

Its gone for sure don't worry about that lol, more pics to follow soon!

 

Hoarding the parts ready for the engine build!!!

 

keep it up matev looks great get some pics up of car in paint

 

Where are the cam gears from?

 

lovin this, did you do the fab of the front turrets and floors?

 

The cam gears i bought from the company that supply newman cams, you can see newman stamped on them just. I can't remember who they were, met them at the nec autosport show last year.
I'm afraid i didn't do the fab work on the related rwd conversion parts eg front towers and rear four link boxes/diff tunnel, i tweaked a few bits, everything else was done by myself, i believe A RS LICKER who has commented on this thread did the work for the intial conversion.
Many thanks, more photo's to come very soon!!!

 

I did the easy bit. All the credit goes to you for the work you've put into it.

 

Sorry all for major delay in updates, the show is back on lol

 

big difference when its painted isnt it

 

good build!

crack on lad.

 

Sure is surprsing what some paint can do!! All the other bits are being done today/tomorrow, then shes coming home saturday, and that is where i will stay, sleeping bag is out and ready lol

 

Thats going to look and go really nice well done mate.

 

Rear shot from above, got the rear perspex windows in now, see the nice carbon roof from up here too

 

Looking great

 

looks good sofar did you buy the perspex windows or make them ,thinking of putting them in my mk4.

 

Awesome work so far. Looking forward to updates!

 

Wicked project mate! nice to see a different engine being used instead of a yb! a lot of works been put into this it seems! quality work as well!

 

awesome project the pistons you are using,any pics of the top face ? and what compression ratio are they? only asking as i have the same

 

I bought the windows off mike templar on ebay, cant see him on there at the moment tho, rally design do them tho, so they are available.

I'm really enjoyin this project been just under 2 years with it now, hopefully will be out for next summer. Is good not using a yb for a change, quite abit of potential in the zetecs and there plentiful right now.

I'll try get a pic up of the tops of the pistons, they have valve cutouts machined in them if that helps, there 9.0:1 compression, been lookin at altering this tho, will be getting stuck into the engine very soon.

Thanks all for positive comments it really does help drive you on in a project

 

Have been very slack with updates on this, progress is good and the car is nearly finished. Current photos to follow very soon!

 

chop chop lol ,looks great in the pics so far

 

...bring the updates, looks great!

 

 

 

 

 

Going to be good to see what this engine is going to do. great work

What a transformation. To be fair, when I first looked, I thought why's he bothering! Done a great job there.

 

Second seat in today, and a shot of the boot. Thanks for comments guys. Always wanted to do something pretty much from scratch, cant say i will ever do one to this extent again!! lol

 

car look fantastic keep the pics coming
question where/who did your cam cover in the carbon guessing its been dipped or something ?

 

I bought the cam cover like it from eBay, but wasn't 100% on the finish so flogged it on eBay. It had been dipped though. I heard these guys are pretty spot on finish wise http://www.hydro-graffix.co.uk/

 

Gonna be mental

 

That's an inspiration for my dry sump plumbing right there, looks wicked bud!

 

Holy crap that's awesome! Love the fact it looks like a sleeper-ish from the outside!

 

that is going to be the mutts nuts when its done, cant wait to see it finished, quick question, will it ever pass an mot with the modification done to it? been waiting to make a start on converting my onion to rear wheel drive but dont want to touch it untill i know where im gunna stand as far as gettin it back on the road legaly when its done

 

Hi mate when you cut the series of holes in your doors and other places where did you get the tool to strengthen the holes .
