Daz,

Will you be using the car for racing when done? Just a question as I did a similar thing to one of my race cars years back with the doors and was told by a scrutineer that I would not be able to race unless my cage had padded door bars and I had at least a drivers side door card fitted.

 

I've been experimenting with that very thing today.
After putting the drivers door back on I've managed to get one of the door cards to fit. It's tight as hell up against the door bars of the cage. So much so that the cards have dents in them from the cage. But they fit and the door shuts with them on so I may go with that option. Would love carbon door cards but i dont know whether the cage would crack them or not.
I hope to get the passenger door on tomorrow. That will be the test, if I can get both door cards on then they stay.

Any way, here's how it currently stands.

 

Have finally fishished painting the bugger which is a good job as I've almost ran out of blue paint!!

I can clean the garage out and start building her now This is the part of projects like these that I realy enjoy.

Anyway a few snaps.

 

More to the point, where are you getting that sunshine from?!!!

 

Well done Daz,now comes the best bit,putting the go faster bits in place
I seriously need to find some time for my project

 

Outstanding job Daz, what are your plans for the wheels?

 

Looks good Daz, what made you decide to go with a carbon wing?

 

Going to put some fat 18's on it. 18x9.75 et25. Will more than likely be some XXR 527 in chromium black. I am looking at a few other options too.

Steve, im not 100% on the wing at the moment but it does go with the look of the car.

However i nearly put an add up offering it for a swap for a hi level STI 5/6 one. I still might as i have just enough paint left to do it.

 

Keep both??

 

I dont have an STI one.

 

was gonna ask what wheels u was going for as the arches make the 18's look tiny
good work m8 keep us updated

 

Come on get it all back together and come take me out in it

 

Looking really good Daz

 

Be a while yet mate. How are getting on with yours?

 

Interesting couple of pics.

The day I bought the shell.



after i put it back in the garage tonight.

 

Love it! best car i ever bought. Starting to get the itch for more power but my insurance company will kill me so think ill start collecting parts ready for next year.

 

Hello mate. Just to let you know your old short *engine is still going strong after 20k + *over 400bhp. Many trips to the Ring. My mate is still made up with it. Hope your keeping well. Nige

 

Nice one Nige, It was in good nick when i stripped and rebuilt it prior to selling. Glad he's happy with it.

You still got your scooby?

 

And so the fun bit begins..




The first of many parts to be fitted.

 

 

What gearbox is that Daz?

 

UK Non DCCD 6spd

 

A pig horiible job but an essential one none the less.

£100 worth of 100ft x 2 inch DEI titanium wrap.

 

 

^^^seriously, Daz poops out great work. I still miss that other white one(surely less than D)

Carmi

 

A few people have asked me what I'm doing engine wise.

I've kept the engine from the old car as there's roughly only 1000 miles on it since it was rebuilt.

As a reminder here's what's in it.

 

Pure Subaru ****.

 

Dribbling as i type.....
Where did you get these mate?

Daz,
When you going to sort out your webhosting arrangements..... waiting for your images to load is like pulling my own teeth with a pair of rubber gloves!

The car is really starting to take shape now..... any "target" completion date, or are you just moving along with the intention that it will be ready when it's ready?

Much left to do now?

You have some serious drive doing this.... I would have thrown the towel in long time before!
