Same here... Saw it at the weekend at TFS

 

Today was first time I really saw car, spent sometime accessing and looking at it etc but couple of hours work also spent on it and chuffed with purchase and progress.

Rear subframe, steering column, steering rack, steering wheel, hubs etc installed and now sits on its own wheels, except there not as they are borrowed lol
Entire loom then pretty much removed.

Many thanks to stew and bod for working on it with me

3 people to map a car....?

 

Party time!!

 

 

Very Nice..

 

is that rattys old shell???

 

I wonder if you bought that shell off someone only around the corner from you??

Whats the ultimate goal of this project ?

Have you enough space on the drive to park this ?

 

Hang on a minute Simon, if you have taken my type r from my Barn, where the **** is my wagon

 

This will replace the green car when complete

Goals - light, lots of power and strong caged shell and 110% which can be achieve only by building it from scratch from a good shell

 

Your type r is in another barn/building under similar cover to mine was, saw it few weeks back.

Wagon? What wagon lol

 

no

 

Strong, light and heaps of power... sound like no fun to me

 

Bit of progress today, fairly pleased.

Loom fully removed - big weight in that lot


Soundproofing removed


Then removed rear wiper and motor which is forsale with rear screen too if anyone wants to retro fit a rear wiper?

Then stew arrived and offered the use of his plasma cutter for the next job on the list

Why have you cut the chassis legs of, you'll struggle to enter the likes of ta with it like that, or is it not for competitions..

 

Have no interest entering TA
