Looks brilliant and that turbo looks like it could eat children. :eek:
No huge updates other than I got some bits zinc coated

And the axle and front subframe powder coated

And reassembled to get it rolling

Had a nightmare job of having to wire wheel the entire cage down as it had started to oxidise, took days upon days but now coated in a washprimer

May not be any huge progress for a while as I’ve just sold the house so I’ve got to put everything into storage for a year until the new house is ready, hopefully be able to continue with other things in the mean time

Some top work there mate . Im nealy looking forward to seeing this on the track as much as I am my own lol
Coated parts look ace; you might consider vertical bolts dropped in from the top (should the worst ever happen).
That turbo & manifold should be good for huge horsepower; but the inlet is to come..? Will the corner weights be alright with you & all the tube surrounding on the drivers side?
Did I ask before (apologies if so) is there a good reason for going ecotech as a starting point or is it just for ease of M32?
M32 would be same for on a red top.Quote:

This is coming on well. The skinny wheels make me laugh though!
Heds where did you get the front end from?
Front end was imported from HVR team in Slovenia or Slovakia can’t recall, cost more to transport it than for the item.Quote:

Love that. The wheels are very smart especially. More please!
Wheels were a big surprise, I told the painter to do what he likes with them. Bit of a risk but I think it paid off.Quote:

Oh, and that rear spoiler too :)
I was having a read back at the earlier build stages, and noticed you were planning to use Torques stuff.Quote:

Thanks for the Heds up mate, I’ll keep that in mind when I come to that part of the build. Cheers [emoji1360]Quote:
