me and rick are in the garage now
didnt realise laquer was so sticky but looking good so far
car is in full laquer now so were looking good for having engine in and rolling shelled by weekend! pics to follow
Right guys engine is going in very shortly. Going to get it to a rolling shell stage by Saturday.
First off we are under sealing it all tonight then tomorrow we can start bolting parts on. We have started building the rear beam up and having it all painted. New bearings going on and fully poly bushed. We have also done the disc conversion.
Once engine is sat in place we will connect the motorsport shafts up to the hubs and paint up the bottom arms and tie bars. Again these are all poly bushed.
Got a brand new radiator to go in and we will be painting up the old oil coolers etc and having it all put in place. Got an oil catch tank coming through the post that looks quite nice. Not aiming for a mint show condition engine bay so won’t be going for the whole bailey tanks and chroming. Just nicely painted parts and most importantly keeping it clean!
Got the coil overs through the post too so hoping that these will make the car sit really nice. Wheels will also arrive in the post this week. I couldn’t quite afford OZ Super T’s as I wanted but have got some that look near as damn it. They also come with Yokohama S Drive tyres which my mate has and are really quite nice and versatile.
Just need to locate some GSi side skirts to finish it off.
Got to start the wiring soon. Going for megasquirt so will need a bit of mapping before santa pod. Wiring in the shift light and push button start too.
Will post pictures as I go.
right well its been a very busy week for us. We have got the car painted, rear beam on, front suspension and hubs on and engine in.
we have started wiring up the megasquirt and also ported the inlet manifold ready for the throttle bodies.
Also had delivery of my wheels, oil catch tank and filter among a million other little parts
Hoping to have it running this week and the rest of the panels on my early next week....count down is on!
