looking good mate. Top progress :thumb:

dont think you'll be far off bringing it to pvs at the rate your going will be finished in a month or two :)
24-02-10, 01:56 PM
ste porter

the whole car from the day i brought it every little thing has been done by me all welding and fab paint work the custom dash i made ect none of it has been done by a company or any body else is all me and i have a hell of a long way to go yet mate

i worked it all out into stages this is strucktural fab stage 1 of 12
i got bracing then sheet metaling then shot blasting then basic asembly then de asembaly then body work then paint prep then paint then mop and pollishing then re asembaly , then set up then testing

thats just the shell got 9 stages to go through with the engine and transmision yet

this all sounds easy but when you think just in the initial reasebly i have got all electrics to sort (full custom loom front to back) brake pipes to sort fuel pipes seat brackets engine bow and transmision exahust route boost pipes ect ect ect just to take it all back of again im not even a 12th of the way in yet pluss i got everything to buy yet!

cant wait to see it finished what sort of power will you be aiming for ?
24-02-10, 02:31 PM
ste porter

initialy im going to be looking around the 400mark to get it all bedded down then push the boost up to about 2.2 bar thats my aim so should hopefully bee seeing anywhere from 430-500 hopefully

the lads at corten millers recon that with the spec of the lump i should easily see 400 at about 1.8 -2 bar on omex but im not using omex im going to use mbe as i already have it so we will see

i will be running it in though at the same pace i ran it in at at pv last year at about 13psi and about 265bhp for a 1000k before i up it to 1.8 bar

Colour wise for this beast of a project you want something subtle, star silver would suit it IMO. If you want any photoshops doing Ste just pm me your request mate. :)
