Thank god for an update on this project! I was getting desperate LOL

[peaty_34]

cars coming together great m8, im planning the same as you build it all run it all, then strip it down paint and anti rush then build again, (do it right )

you might want to uprate the yellow cable tie that's holding the prop shaft in place! apart from that its all looking great bet you cant wait to get it on the road or better still on a track! keep up the good work.

I was thinking or maybe upgrading to a big black cable tie but I was advised against this! lol

Work has been abit slower than expected due to a couple of delays getting the prop, however parts have been turning up regardless



Can you tell what it is yet? (said in a rather bad Rolf Harris accent!)

[evansisgreat]

I don't know what it is but I want one.

[kmol468]

It's only an alloy alternator mount. The original is mega heavy in comparison!
Well I think I just got abit bored on the Internet and ordered one!

am i seeing things or is that a bungee cord holding the back of the bonnet on

[kmol468]

Good progress has been made on the beast and if all goes to plan I should have it back in a few days.
the prop shaft cut out is done to provide clearance for the prop
the prop is being made
the rear turrets are in
the rear cage is in
the front struts have been extended with adjustable top mounts fitted
the front strut brace is fitted and I have to say, it is abit of a work of art....
the fuel tank is in - filling to commence through the rear window!
the rear hubs are being fabricated
the intercooler fitted

It leaves only the seat mounts and steering wheel boss to weld in ....

Time for the pictures:
















And before anyone says it, yes that strut brace is close and it does fit under the bonnet but its not touching!
