Thanks Benn, it's coming on slowly but surly. I might swing in past today if I can be arsed.
yeah, didn't want to go wide arch. Wanted it to stay like a standard nova really.
That's the bit i really like, that it still looks kinda standard.
Yeah same Benn :)
well thats the floor in now! Just needs finished welded now. Here's the pics

That looks fantastic mate, what wheels are you planning on fitting?
Cheers Dave :) finish like is getting closer.
These are the alloys going on, only pic I can find of them just now. Dave's still got these down in Liverpool for me.

Wheels look good, compomotive style are they 18's? They'd look better silver or anthracite though ;)
I'm guessing 15" cause iirc they where tubs for 15" wheels put in.
top fab work again baz bet your itching to get this up and running now
Yeah 15" oz gm euro sports. Staying black with the red stickers on them I think. Aye tubs are for 16" wheels on an escort but there's heaps of room with the speedlines on.
cheers plug, yeah can't wait. Taken much longer than I'd originally hoped but plans have always been changing.
Will 15's look right it the rear arches though as your going to have to have the rear fairly high for ground clearance though with all that fab work?
I think it'll be all good should sit just as standard, the cradle doesn't come any lower than the floor of the car so shouldn't be an issue...I hope haha
Funk me that back end is awesome!
This look awesome Baz nice wheel choice :thumb:
Hey Baz. The construction on this car minces my pee brain lol! It's gona be an animal when it's finished! I'm sure I can see a square to round on the rear turret?
Thanks Benn, I'm rather happy with it!Quote:

went in past today to drop the fuel tank off. Needed to make sure it'll fit in the back. Which it does because it's tiny lol need to make up a little platform for it. Also dropped off the rear lights so the back end can be properly welded up now. Here's a few shots from underneath also.

Can see light at the end of the tunnel now hey baz!
wont be long and it'll be getting painted !
Haha I like what you did there :thumb:
That tank will be too small
It's 22L more than enough for what it'll be used for :)
I forget now, what is the car going to be used for? It looks like a lot of hard work has gone into it.
Cheers Craig. Just a bit of fun really. Track days some drag racing and occasional road use when in the mood for a thrash.
Oh they've not started cutting the front up yet then?
Still the front part of the tunnel to be cut. That won't be done until we stick in a block, gearbox and transfer box. Most of the fab work is done though just bits and bobs to do then get it ready for paint. Can't wait to start building it. It's taken much longer than I first anticipated.
Do you know what will be done on the rack side of things? As the tunnel looks like it will go right where the rack is...
There's more room there than it looks. I'll get better pics next time I'm over
Good plan. I was referring to the tank size, 22lt will be ample for either of those uses.Quote:

Was nothing done last time I was over. Going to try get over to see it tomorrow or Friday though so fingers crossed. Id love to get it home soon and start building.
Received another piece of the puzzle today. Just need a carbon boot now.
http://i660.photobucket.com/albums/u...psgtrakicc.jpg
I want!!
I'm sure you've discussed this before but what are you doing with the rear quarters? Are they going to be carbon?
Managed to get all your carbon bits off CMC then?
Or you get someone else to do them?
Had to get the quarters in fibreglass so will just be bonded on and painted.
aye Edd I got it from Chris and was refunded for the boot. Unsure where to find a boot from now.
To start with all I wanted was a carbon bonnet so very happy to have it now!
Glad you got the bonnet and a refund in the end, you're a patient man so glad it worked out for you in the end mate :thumb:
wow that bonnet is nice :cool:
Dibs on the bonnet when you break ;) hahaha
glad you got everything sorted with Chris though buddy.
paint next then
