Nova build, track/rally car inspired.

Love it all. Filler cap out of scuttle is subtle looking..

Next up was passenger foot rest and plumbed in fire extinguisher kit.

Cheapest one i could find, cut to suit the space and mounted with rubber riv-nut type things.

Comfy enough, am average height so should be fine for most.


That then showed me the area i had to play with for mounting plumbed in kit.

Fits in here nicely. Welded some bigger washers onto m6 mounting nuts to help spread load a bit and then welded them into position on the floor.

and bolted down.


Now to route the pull cables. Outside one along the sill and up into engine bay to mount on the scuttle under windscreen.




rubber grommets will be fitted after paint. For the drivers pull handle i thought it would be good to tie it in with my rear brake bias valve. So came up with this..



Easy to get to from drivers seating position and nice and secure with 2 m6 rivnuts.


Thats as far as i could go with this as i am waiting on p clips to secure cables and also a bulk head fitting for the AFFF feed hose to pass into the engine bay.
Also fitted a hand held behind the drivers seat.


Again just a couple for rivnuts.

Now like i was saying earlier, having to work overtime to pay for parts...... this is the latest buy.

Quaife dog box!!! Been playing on my mind how the sycro,s will stand up to the sequential shifter and then this popped up. Quickly becoming undriveable on the road this car but who cares will be a good laugh.

Cheers mate, i enjoy reading everyone else's build threads so feel only fair i share mine too, just am a bit useless at remembering to take enough pictures.

I can't help but think your extinguishers would be better off the opposite way round. All looks excellent though.

Got loads of updates but really struggling to upload pictures.. seems to be childs play for most but not computer savvy. This is a tap talk test.

Excellent, been looking forward to this one, especially Bill's Shifter unit.

So guys this is how it looks now.. just suspension and geo set up then its ready for test run.

I would love to update this thread properly but i can't add pictures when am on my laptop, i used to like thru facebook but it wont work for me now and this taptalk fone app is no use for a long build.

Any ideas in how to get pictures working again much appreciated.

Cheers.
