Did abit more today, finally finished the dash:
Put the glass on the stack unit
Made the brackets to hold it in place
Drilled the shift light (top right) and wired it up.
Drilled the warning light (top left) and wired it up.
Drilled both left and right indicators (below the stack) and wired them up. Spaced them out so if required I can add a couple more.

The dash is completed:


Started making the bracket for the ecu monitor and the switches. It mounts off the rear of the gear selector housing:


But blimey things just take soo long to do... Still no word about the exhaust and header tank, which were promised this week, which unfortunately people, means no starting videos this weekend.

Love this build I can wait to see it done

[kmol468]

I've just been to pick up some pornographic exhaust work

[rally515]

Ohhh lovely jubly!.

That Tig welding is very clean indeed...

 

So is that the whole exhaust ? haha its tiny

[kmol468]

Yep that's the complete exhaust!
Hopefully it won't be too loud. Who am I kidding, launch control with anti lag is going to be rediculous, although it has the facility to be extended under the car and out the side at a later date.

Gorgeous work, you can't beat a bit of TIG!

[IainStallard]

Has it got any silencers at all? Aha, looks epic!

[kmol468]

Nope! What you see IS the exhaust.

Nope! What you see IS the exhaust.

 

 

Definatly looking forward to hearing this more than anything!

[kmol468]

The header tank is here, hopefully it will fit.


Now get ready for the next update as it will probably include a starting video! You should get to see if it either a) smash a valve, b) set on fire or c) all of the above.

[kmol468]

Okay.... so my next post isn't of it starting but I got a few more things plumbed in.
Header tank is mounted and fits in nicely. It might be abit low but we will see. I can't pull it forward any more because of the clearance for the headlight.


Also managed to cobble together an air inlet for exactly £0.00 as it was left overs from off cuts of hosing and the old air filter. I also managed to plumb in the amal valve aswell


It even leaves enough space under the bonnet when it's on.


So I can now fill her up with fluids


Although I still have to mount the battery, water injection pump and finish off the wiring before the first start....

This really is epic!

Okay so I have a couple of videos with an update, but mobile photobucket uploading is painful, so people will have to wait till later this evening.
