House's ITB XE build and re-build

Nice work on the shell there, I wish I'd remembered to keep the wiper motor mount when I chopped all mine out! Going to be fun when it comes to mounting it now

Looking good dude, nice welding too.

No speedo cable? Going posh clocks?

Have you ever thought about racing this car?

I haven't got the balls for racing mate!! Or the time, or the money, I'm having to scale back stuff I'm doing as it is due to our adoption. I couldn't commit to racing properly and if I can't commit properly then there's no point!! Plus adhering to blue book specs is a lot of work!!

Maybe

All will be revealed shortly!! Well maybe not shortly as I'm flat out with work but it'll be revealed in good time!! haha

Thanks mate, it's all taken a back seat at the minute but it'll be done for the start of March!!

As for the wiper, I've not seen enough "easily" converted single wipers to go for it!! I'm going to weld a thin strip down the edge to give it some strength, should make it strong enough. Due to the new dash setup I'll only have slow speed function anyway so it'll never be flat out!!

Cool, if you change your mind your car is perfect for the series. Ignore most of the blue book, it's only the safety bit that you really need to read.

Re wiper, Fiat Uno one is perfect.

Thanks mate!!

As for the wiper, it still looks like a lot of hassle!! haha

I used the Uno one. Fit's the better out of them all. But i was never happy with it.

It's not the prettiest but it's a track car not a show car!!

Ah a mine after my own heart....

I've just posted a pic of my installation using the standard Nova wiper mount as a base, going single wiper but want to find a right hand park wiper arm, anyone else done that?

[House]

Thanks Mr Tall sir, I've had a look and am impressed, I'm sticking with the original position I think, I've got so much else to do!!!!

Your dash is quite simply put the fookin nuts!!!! I will be trying something similar, I'm using switches for headlights, dipped and main, indicators, single speed wiper, as basic as I can make it!! Trying to make it a real track car!!! haha

Mr Tall, you live in Southampton yet i've never seen or heard of you... How is that even possible?
