superb mate

 

cheers mate positive comments are always welcomee

 

oil catch tank has been mounted and modifed as it only came with 2 hose connections and i needed 3.
first one was for the 2 camshaft breathers
second for the crank breather
third for the catch tank to breath








engne bay is more or less finished now and looking rather sweet me thinks



bonnet pins are also now installed for the aerocatches

both front wings have been put back on and the front end all bolted back together wings,headlights,side lights, bumper


the front brakes and then the wheels where put on other than needing a wash to get all the dust off she looks amazing i think

 

not much done this weekend put the front brake pipes on and bleed the brakes and the clutch




i did manage to give the scooby a wash






so now its clean ive bought her a blanket lol

 

after an operation my back and a full restoration on a 1953 american army truck im back onto the car.
1953 kaiser jeep reo restored from the ground up.



ive got the wiring done for the fuel pumps and battery relocation and ignition switch moved to homemade centre panel battery cut also installed in panel also got homemade gauge pod made and flocked and gauges fitted plus made a wiring loom for them






also made my own front splitter from 6mm perspex and fitted it to the front bumper



fuel line have been secured and fitted along wth the fuel tank.
tow strap also welded into place. Lets hope i never need it!!

 

well its about time i added something to the thread we ve bought another scooby we found on ebay that had a few things we were both looking for. Parts i ll be having:
Roll cage, uprated front and rear brakes, Seat and a few of the suspension components.
I have now also fixed my Tien coilovers so they are ready to fit. The WRX engine that came out is nt going back in instead we have sourced an sti lump which Houlty is going to put ACL race bearings in and that will go in instead. The car is also going back into the paint shop not going to ruin it by saying what colour she ll be but it ll be a big shock from the black its currently in.
Will post a few pictures of the new bits and bobs and also our awesome new garage tomorrow.

 

fresh purchase for this evening because i hate the current steering wheel so got this instead:

 

also would nt mind people thoughts on this?

 

Stunning work m8, Wish i had the time/money and skill to do this to mine! Keep the updates coming!! Tim.

 

so here a few pics of the donor car:





and our new garage with a bit more room lol


and we ve also bought two sandblasters which come in very handy

 

After some bad times with the car I've started again as I've managed to get my hands a rather good condition 2 door type r shell
I got disheartened after so much work went into the last car and it never seeing the track from clutch failure to oil leaks then water leaks and the lack of oil pressure knackered the engine! But the challenge goes on pictures to follow soon
