Subtle as always Micky

 

Looking good Ry now that gearbox is attention to detail mate

Martin

 

Couldn't leave the box looking manky when it's bolted to my lovely engine mart

 

nice as always Ryan, who does your powder coating? Steve (sooty) has my brat pickup for some blasting at the moment.

edited for miss typing...

 

Cheers bud,Dix at Leominster powder coating does mine

 

So I cleaned up the wiring/sensors today and fitted them back onto the box along with the brackets I painted matt black.
Once I had it out of the booth I then fitted the scoobyclinic TRS gearbox mount followed by the cross member which I installed with kartboy poly bushes and as a cheery on top I also have the kartboy rear steady bush which should accompany the AS performance linkage bush upgrade perfectly and give a Winchester rifle feel to the gear selection with no movement at all pretty much

 

Looking good, it's all coming together very nicely indeed.

I thought Baz was telling porkies earlier when he said you'd gone home to get your camera.

 

Looking very tidy, you'll have to give me some feedback on those engine mounts - I was looking at them a while back and wasn't so sure

 

Thanks Jon,on first inspection they appear very good I must say but I will also add I was dubious but at the price I figured it was worth a punt.

 

You'll have to let us now what they're like once you fit them

 

Couple more goodies
RCM Titanium sump plug with holes for lockwiring


Fuel pump cradle with an unions welded on and then sent for zincing

 

Going to love this car Ry can't wait till its finished

Martin

 

Big thanks mart,costing me a fortune though lol.

Your arches are repaired and in primer,just need to find time to paint them now,we usually start slowing down with around this time a year but its just madness,got enough work to go till after Christmas already !

 

Cheers buddy will be the last thing to go on before Xmas lol. Arches rolled now so can't wait to put them on now

Ry you've done an amazing job mate, with your attention to detail you can have a go at my car in the future when I have the funds

Martin

 

It would be my pleasure Martin

 

we will talk Ry when I decide what route to take

Martin

 

Looking forward to that mart

I still can't believe where the project has led to and the extend of it lol
Trouble is I've gone to far to stop now!

 

Brilliant project Ry, a lot of time and effort been put into this one most of all its well thought out which is one thing I've noticed with you do a job properly

Martin

 

You'll have me blushing in a minute with all this praise
Thanks though mate,there's nothing worse than doing things in a rushed unplanned attack and then after its done thinking 'I wish I had done this/that' or just looking at it thinking it looks ****.

 

Nice details here Ryan.

 

Thanks Frayz

 

So I got hold of some very low mileage BC coil overs which I am very happy with as all I need to do to make A1 is have the springs powder coated[they don't really need it but I may as well to take care of the few small peeling area's as it will only get worse]
Also as I have done the delete of water passing through my throttle body I couldn't just leave the pipe work on the T/B so I started cutting it away to make it a proper delete,still needs a bit of work to get it ready for paint but you'll get the idea plus I also had the 3 little holes welded over which I will smooth better before paint.

It's grease on top of the rear top hats







Oh and the BC's also have the rear extenders!

 

god your dragging it out............

 

Rome wasn't built in a day Tub's

 

Very nice, TB gives me another idea - already got one with the hoses cut off, but could now clean and polish or paint it

 

Nope, but this build is lasting longer than the Roman Empire

 

Got the bc's off Matt???

 

no Dingle bum off P1WOC

The engine mounts are as good as you can get without solid mounting the engine, which you probably wouldnt want to do in a road car anyway.
I sold Ryan the gearbox mount which is part of the scoobyclinic TR branded kit. These were the ones recommended to me and used in the Banana. I didnt need the gearbox mount as I have one of Steven Darley's tubular gearbox cradles hence reason for selling it. Link below shown at the bottom of the page.
