Spare set of Bumpers finished off from the bodyshop. Starting to get some wings & bumpers painted before they start on the shell. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5b6de18142.jpg

Think I might have to wrap the car in bubble wrap instead of bumpers after it’s finished!

Not much going on with the build at the moment as waiting on the shell to be painted but the dash is near completion, just some carbon fibre wrap to go on the panels & the whole dash flocked!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...62cebddf10.jpg

Just picked my F20 Quaife Box up from being stripped & rebuilt. Brand new Gripper plated diff gone in with a 4.8 CWP, Harry Hockly turret top rod fitted for my internal linkage & a nice rear gearbox mount that was fabricated to allow for the 3rd mounting point to the box! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...afaf81b693.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6119bfafeb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...70bf53dff2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...15afe4e3a5.jpg

Great kit from Super FWD, I know the owner and he's just down the road from me!

Few more things added to the car this week. Got the back axle in last night with all new Group A rear dampers & springs. Brand new Kevlar tank guard from Magnum Motorsport finished underneath off nicely. Also painted all my calipers & sliders in high temp black paint and finished them off with high temp lacquer. Put a 120 AMP alternator on the engine aswell which should hopefully be getting put in next week if a metal engine water pipe arrives from being made. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...213149903f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...cc4dedd973.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c53f32dc57.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...73439c909f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...30f7317c36.jpg

Made a start on the Brake lines today. Quite a fiddly job but I enjoyed doing it, just need to order some more hose for the engine bay. Fuel hose is all connected up now, just need to piece it in when the engine is dropped in. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...35b65c8d60.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7008260e25.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1384ecded6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8ea22b5226.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5f03d6674e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6a1659b858.jpg

It looks great, I am interested how will you ensure the hoses won't touch the tyre with the suspension movement and cornering ?
Cheers it’s coming on well now. I will be cable tieing them to the bottom of the strut to keep them away from the tyres. The hose I’ve got has a PVC outer liner so I’m not too worried about it rubbing against the strut etc. It’s just going to have to be checked every so often to see if it does mark the hose. Have looked at the idea of spiral wrapping the brake hose that are outside of the car just for added protection. But at the minute it will be seeing how it goes with attaching it to the strutQuote:

That whole lot all rotates together doesn't it so I can't see it being an issue.
Love the look of this!!
Yeah I thought about just cutting a slit in some rubber hose and putting it over, doesn’t have to be anything special with it being a rally car. Cheers bud [emoji1303]Quote:

Photos of the Perspex in and mocking up the rear bumper, just waiting on some countersunk washers for mounting the sides of the bumper to the car instead of the bumper clips

Looking well pal.
AP master cylinders arrived today, so got them fitted & finished off the brake lines. Used OBP reservoirs from the cylinders that came from Hockly with the pedal box, with both caps on there is about 1mm gap so quite a good fit and means I don’t have to go buy some AP ones! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3c9f22db91.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1b15b647f4.jpg
