Jura

 

Thanks Jura much appreciated mate

 

This looks brilliant mate, it's gonna be an animal

 

Thanks Gez,I certainly hope it ends up ok!

 

can you get some more pics of the turbo blanket please :-)

 

No worries Ian

 

Looking good bud, nice clean engine

 

Just a shame it doesn't stay like it

 

Wonder if it will be ready for the Prodrive meet? I hope you do make it Ryan......keep at it.

 

Something arrived in the post today, cheers Ryan.

 

Welcome to the club Micky

 

The outer body panels par removing the back end sill covers[the inserts are turning and I need to get it on the ramp to remove them] are now ready and prepared for the first of 2 runs which will be firstly,wet on wet primer/base colour and clear coat which will be given around a week to stand to harden nicely before we use that as a primer base so to speak to block out any last imperfections before repainting for a double depth of colour/clear which should end up as near perfect as possible[I hope lol]

Also got the spot weld drill out and removed the battery tray today along with washer bottle support bracket ready to cut the inner wing for putting the fuse box in the inner wing.

Once both inner wings are taken care of[I have a little trick idea for the O/S inner wing now the ABS is being ditched] and the boot floor is cut for Alloy panel install it will only be the rear diffuser to make before I can commence painting!

Oh and the rear glass is only resting in the hole.

 

Nice one Ryan,now starting looking like proper build

Do you planning move battery to the boot?




Jura

 

Some good work there Ryan, nice to see you are moving along with the project. Will be a beast when it's done

 

Thanks jura it is starting to take shape slowly,still a lot to do but nice to have some progress!
Yes the battery along with spec-c washer bottle will be going into the boot mate,I have a complete battery relocation kit ready to go.

 

Thanks Martin its very uplifting for me to get some work done on it as theses big builds can have some very disheartening moments

 

About time you got started

Did you buy or make the relocation kit - I'm after some ideas for mine and trying to decide whether to use 'dummy terminals' or cut the connectors off and use a fused in-line connector for the live

 

I got a complete kit Jon,I'll take some pics of it all tomorrow when I go down the workshop mate

 

Keep at it mate...good to see it making progress

 

Thanks Tim,I'm on a high note about it......................for now

 

Looking forward to heading up to you and sorting the wiring

 

Cheers bud, next little project to keep to me busy

 

Same here mate,when it's at that stage I will be ecstatic
I have started to tidy up the wiring loom for the engine now as well but I need to get the manifold in place so I can lay it out to get it fitting properly and where I want it to lay,plus I need to make the coil pack looms as well.

 

Shame you aren't closer Jon,you skills would come in handy on getting mine done sooner

 

I might have some time on my hands soon - I'll know in the next couple of weeks

 

Sounds good mate,let me know and we can arrange something

 

About time you did rather than theorized, nice progress Ryan.

I'll give you my 'expert' opinion in person sooner rather than later no doubt.
