i hear that you have bought a saloon shell.
you got a new project under construction

 

hi rich ,your build looks awsome mate ,if you dont mind me asking did you take the aircon out yourself ??if so did you encounter any probs or anything,looks pretty simple but just want to know before i do it ,cheers ,d

 

its very simple mate. just dont breath in the gas undo the pipe while holding your breath then walk away for 10 mins. other than that no probs.

 

Good to see youve finnally got some pics up mate looks good what we doing about paint? I spoke to JK and joey they think were hitting the shell tommorow night?? Thought that was for engine build with Modis Matt?? Either way ill be stopping late, gonna be late in tommorow though got some bits to do am!!

Ps get used to the rear view of the car on the ramp cause thats all youre gonna be seeing!!!

 

A rough idea of a colour scheme??




And turbo position??









Just some ideas for u to chew on rich!

 

yeah ok mate ill get used to seeing yours on the ramp

its all hapening tommorow. iv spent alot of today preping the engine bay and got it masked up.
beers and pezzas on me monday then.

 

reshelling the wagon into a saloon

 

iv just seen it on 22b . should be better in a saloon plus gives you chance to get your hands dirty.

 

I do like the water rad idea on that pic chap it could free up alot of room and messing about for ya??

Simon ive seen your pics on 22b build looks good bout time u got yourself in a saloon!!

Lets see who gets finished first! See u tommorow rich........

 

I have a 4door already.. but now two of them

 

the turbos not in that position but you get the idea on how it all goes and how much works ivolved.

im still having trouble with deciding on how to solve my steering problem.
i want a manual rack but it seems impossible to get one.
any ideas welcome.

 

Been doing a little research into mounting the turbo in the front and it looks to me as your going to need some kind of electric oil pump to return the oil from turbo to sump as it usually works on gravity on the oe setup??

Bit like this:

 

U GOT FINISHED WITHOUT ME???

 

If you mount the turbo below the sump line yes, if the return is above then no pump is needed. The return has positive pressure.

 

A few more progress pics!!











Shell should be in paint tonight will get some pics up later .......

 

Rich,, you are mad,,
Snot green aswell,
I need you paint my frt calipers in black, Will drop them off soon

 

No Probs Northy u carrot cruncher!!! U not at donnington this weekend??

Heres some snot green just for u!!!!!!!!!!!!!











Shes a bit bright but should look good when it all comes together!!!

 

don't know about snot green. more like incredible hulk green!

 

definatly sounds more like it.
he is only taking the p**s because he is scared that my scoob is going to be faster than his 2 ton 500bhp evo.
just dare to be different. just got finished and its in to the finishing bay tommorow morning.

 

lol. it's good to be different. wish i was able to respray my own car. but then if i could i'd say i'd always be changing the colour lol.

 

i know what your saying but when you own your own buisness your expected to do a brilliant job and be different.
the only problem is when you do the job all day you dont feel like doing your own. thats why i enjoy machanical side because its different than day to day.

 

thanks to gaz gaz for giving me a hand tonight the shell is going to the finishing bay then refit. time to get on with the rest of the panels.

 

goregous!

 

glad you like it mate.
i need to get the wheels painted black.
i hate gold.

 

same with me and detailing. run a part time detailing business at the weekend. hate doing my own car but love doing other peoples cars though. although just about to start stripping my ra down and getting it ready for the show season.

 

good man its time for everyone to get ther cars ready for the upcoming season.

i cant wait to get on the track for my first time.


anyone got any ideas on a manual steering wrack?

 

I am sure it will look nice,
Rich,, can you spray and laquer me some brembo calipers mate in black,,

 

yeah no probs mate drop them off chap and ill sort it out for you. do you want them pink like you asked last time.................
pufty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

Black you blind twŁt,

 

yup, have a few plans for it. hopefully it will be done in time.

re the steering, could you modify a manual one off of something else?
