Looks fantastic Si

 

Looking awesome mate:notwo rthy

 

Top work Simon, looks awesome

 

fantastic car

 

Looks awesome, love the stance Simon. I assume the engine isnt in yet?

Rob

 

Engine bay is empty bar rad and brake master cylinder and brake lines.

Soon it will be full

 

Reeeeallly full!

 

Coming along nicely.

I was just looking and thinking it was a bit high at the front - the lack of an engine explains that!

 

Needs painting

Simon

 

get some crystal side lights!! or do the whole lot black :-)

 

Simon, are you gonna leave the apertures to the rad and IC open, as it is currently?

Or are you gonna mesh 'em? If you use mesh, it's gotta be 'track car'-esque 10-15mm square style - looks the meanest!

 

i agree black crystals all round or morrets

 

I agree the lights need changing but I love the colour more and more each time I see it

 

Loving the car. Make sure no-one knocks that engine crane into the side of your door!!!

 

Have morrettes but prefer oe lights but air filters will be behind each light so may well end up with morrettes fitted maybe with air filter replacing a lens.

Nothing set in concrete at the moment

Simon

 

yes would be better with morrets for cold air feed etc and also look good to especially on that. simon you will be hearing of me soon about doing my car again

 

Or just create air intakes instead of lights and get an MOT for daylight use only

 

problem is I like the oe lights look

all this titivating etc can be sorted when running.. just unsual to have a bit of time to play with the grill today

 

Enjoyed reading about the build Simon can't wait to see it completed and hear how it drives.

Good luck with everything and thanks for a good read

 

Me too! (Don't go and 'ruin' it ).

 

i love the OE lights, get crystal sidelights too

 

massive thanks to Stew and Craig at TFS for today

car now has a lightweight solid front of rear diff mount, plate covers for extra holes in bulk head I now down want to use and some foglight hole covers in front bumper. Also painted the underside, just incase I roll it.. lol

playing with timelapse camera again








Simon

 

Painting the underside, that's a splendid idea, now where's my painter.

It really is coming together now, although I'd colour code that plastic of the fog lamp covers (only because that's what I did)

 

Is that the ultimate show of vanity?

 

Lol I was joking. Car has no underseal but is in very good nick underneath so I rubbed back the odd bit and sprayed where cage and holes in floor have been welded up and the new diff mount etc to make sure it stayed that way. Didnt paint the lot as that would add weight.

Simon

 

Paint is heavy as ****. Think about how much water weighs, then with the added density of paint..........................!

 

Yes should have acid dipped shell before I started.

 

Lookin the dogs!!

 

Looks fantastic Si!
