Nice progress, although unsure about the mirriors? never really seen the appeal of those.

 

Is the bonnet vent a RCM one like on the Gobstopper?

TX.

 

Haha, primered seats and table already! She's not happy.

 

Totally agree, would never have them on my main car. Going racey and a bit ott with this one. Some angles look good, from the front not so good

 

Yes mate, not carbon like RCM though. Wish I did but £150 more put me off a little.

 

You want to have some kids Ian then you can use the swing frame as a spray booth !

Great thread

 

will pass on that one for now I think Stu...got me thinking though, perhaps I could use my trampoline to make up a booth...who needs kids to own toys

 

nice project mate wish i could do the same to mine,
what sort of power you going to be running

 

Not to much mate, somewhere between 330 and 380 will do until I learn how to drive properly

 

Just got the diffuser from DMCarbon based in Erith (thanks for discount).


Cut out boot floor first, to be replaced with carbon sheet some time soon.


Cut out rear panel to allow clearance. Bumper painted but not laquered yet.


Hope to bolt on the diffuser in the week.

 

Change of plan, gone bigger. Made one from alloy sheet. Just need carbon sheet for the floor now.

 

are those flat wipers direct fit or do you need to mod them??

 

Brilliant work fella, im planning on making something very similar for my build, loving the work so far mate, keep it up.


Ian

 

Easy straight swap, Ebay cheapies

 

Thanks mate.

 

Got my 22b bumper, poor quality but I'll prep it.

I've trimmed the front for the front mount etc...

 

Doesn't the rain **** through it though? Any problems with that?

TX.

 

I wouldnt be keen on a daily driver or if you like a shiney engine. Not to bothered on this project.

 

Anyone know who sells fiberglass boot lids??

 

Have a word with Scoobyclinic

 

Coming along well Tony!!! Like the way you're going with this

I'd try Scoobyclinic too, on my boot if i look from the right angle, can see there used to be a huge scoobyclinic sticker on it. If it's from them, highly recommend it. It is good quality and extremely light, my laptop weighs loads more lol

1 question: I too have considered the aerocatch fittings on both boot and bonnet. How hard were they to install...???

 

Awesome.... keep it up fella. My mates is about to try the same and its nice to see how its done properly...

 

I would also like to know, as they look good. I dread the thought of drilling holes in my bonnet tho.

 

Go for it, really easy if you have a dremmel etc for cutting. The bonnet is double skinned so you will need clearance or the nuts on the underside. I forgot and had to cut it twice, doh. Also protect body from the hot metal, it gets everywhere. I'd take the bonnet off if I done it again! Also comes with template for easy cutting. I copied Daz's for the mounting position. If you need better pic's I'll take some of the front panel mounts etc.

Im finding the car takes every spare bit of my time, Im knackered. New born not helping or the conservatory build.

Ill chase up ScoobyClinic for the boot, thanks guys.

 

any updates mate? following with intrest.
also do you have any pics of the back of the car since you fitted you're diffuser? im keen to do this but need to work out the detail underneath, i.e. where it starts underneath the car.

 

no updates yet?

 

Sorry for delay, learn't the art of bricklaying! Managed to get the bodywork sorted, front bumpers done and the aerial holes been filled.

Got a lovely Corbeau race seat, pics soon.

Next step is to fill boot floor hole with carbon or ABS sheet? Huge price difference and I'm not sure it would make much difference.

On another note ive decided to break my main pride and joy, its worth double in parts, plus I need some for this project. Anyone interested in my plate J555PAN at the right price let me know.

I'll get some pics up soon as the snow clears!

 

looking good fella glad you got rid of that awful rear spoiler! looking forward to next update. all the best with the project

 

Got some pics..




Boot floor in progress at the mo.
