**** pics.. **** the car off for a pint instead!!

 

lmfao!

 

was a good pint, went for a curry afterwards as I was out with a mate I havent seen in a month or two. might take some in the morning, depending on what time I go to my sisters to FINISH the damn kitchen.. **** working and no money!! Having said that might have a contract lined up for 6 weeks on sensible money.

David

 

Nice one!

Have to come up for a beer again soon.. been too long!

Simon

 

It has!... get steven to eat spicy food again!

 

Careful that really is asking for trouble

 

it is, its a shame though as Id love to get steven pissed and take him for a decent curry

Anway.. think im a little high from the old 2k paint

sill is welded, filled and primed.. not ready for primer but it makes it 100 times easier to see where the stopper and hard work needs to be placed!

back quarter also needs a fair bit of work..

however 1 day on kitchen left, got 6 sockets to fit, 3 plinths (2 need 45degree mitres.. piece of ****). Light fitting to change.. and need to get another box of tiles to finish tiling, then its get my mate around to paint (He's a decorator) oh and stick the worktop edging strip on 3 edges

Might even post a pic of that.

David

Anyway kitchen first Will find some pics, and take some new ones...

And of the car too

David

Erm as above.


Drivers Wheelarch - still lacking some effort..


Sill partially done, welding on bottom edge to complete.. 1/2 done.


Main hoop for rollcage.. and dashboard, diff, driveshafts, door and lots of crap!


Underside near sill


Subaru scrap yard...

 

nice work!

 

that's one hell of a drill those cutters fit in!

 

black and decker cordless?

 

those yellow bags look familiar

 

I reckon it'll be one of those hand whisk type ones

 

LOL At all including stevey.. Ive done 1 so far!! its messy work!!

Cutters are going to get spun in the lathe, but yeah I dread to think how big the milling machine is that they 'fell off'

David

 

is it decent stuff to work with

 

Thats more like it

Let me know how long the cage takes (may be after a fitted price)

Andy

 

Andy, via PM,but for you.. free (ok, Cost only).

Seriously though drop me a mail, guess you not racing on sun then?

 

stevey, is it ****, its itchy and I have to fit it myself!!

 

I thought it was a prototype air bag? hence the strange camera angle and yellow padded bag in the car..

 

Thats the helium mass displacement cell.

Andy

 

you mean fill the car with helium to help with weight reduction?

interview after the drive you would sound like Joe Pasquale though!



Simon

 

itchy try driving with 4 bags of the stuff in a little 106

 

LMFAO!!

 

just imagine Westwoods face as you start talking like Joe Pasquale, he seemed to struggle understanding Andy as it was!

Simon

 

no more work done on the car yet

 

I thought you all were buying real roll cages all cut to suit, sub welded and ready for final installment?

Why not a simple 6 point bolt-in but welded to suit the shell and brace accordingly but minimally to best effect?

Have i missed something?
For speed events you don't need the PowerStation treatment?

I hope to see my sketch realised!

Graham

 

Graham, a weld in cage comes in two formats; bent tubes with straight ends, or for more money profiled ends...but the profiling is prety poor so you end up having to adjust them to suit your own shell.

The big boys want weld in because tehy adds strength to the chassis that a bolt in can't...especailly if you're removing large chunck of metal for lighterweight panels
