yeah fuel lines running inside car, car is a big dusty mess at moment, waiting on mate to take it away to get paint and welding done (inc seat mounts welded in) then i can paint inside, put it all back together and go trash it about, not alot to do really but there still plenty to do (if that makes sense)
lil update, still nothing major really,
Getting ready to have gear box out
Looks lil sorry for her self
and there we go one gear box
its off having its tran x diff fitted at the moment, while there i also ordered an AP Racing Paddle Clutch.
Now while box is off going to replace crank oil seal and have bit of a tidy up
Some Goodies have started to arrive :D
Long way off fitting but always nice to see an end point
Helix PAddle Clutch
Old Dif Removed
and the tran x has been fitted (no pics)
Bit of bodging
and had a quick polish on the engine
time to start putting it back together soon
Just quick one, bay all but ready to be painted tomorrow (so long as not much work on)
And more goodies arrived today :D
Bias Pedal Box, didnt really need it but just seemed like a cool idea at the time, something to mess about with, looking out for quick rack now and then thats most the parts i wanted
will do update soon, roof been welded up, new brake lines, engine bay all painted and nice and shiny, cut out loads more weight, and welded seat mounts in
I'd love to have a feel of the Tran-X diff when its in & running. Toying with the idea of getting one for mine. From AC by any chance?
Yeah, ac is top man, and mark bloke who helps him out, resealed gear box and fitted the tran-x, sposed to be better than a quaiffe as cuts in quicker because its plates and not gears. Aiming for it all to be built in 4 weeks, when its done i'll let you have a play if you want mate?
Thanks chap. I spoke to AC about them, I think Quaiffe is suited to road & moderate use wheras the Tran-X is the better if using it seriously & obviously it has that adjustability factor.
bit of an udate then but still looks like not a lot been done but it will all take shape now soon
i painted the engine bay all nice and white as is just easy colour to see everything then
welded plate in the roof (im no welder)
and just got to plaster tonnes of filler over now to get some sort of shape back now
bought a quaiffe quick rack kit so....
rack on work bench
big boy was needed to get steering arms off
seal and circlip and what not was removed and with a bit of tugging and smacking about the pinion comes out
difference between standard and the kit
stick it all back together, and back on the car
while i had been waiting for parts i thought i would have a bit of a test on my painting skills and to see what i thought of the colour, not sure on final design of whole car yet though
and a 50/50 shot of flatting off/mopping back up for those of you that care
seat mounts have been all measured up and tacked in place for now
getting a mate to come and weld it in fully though as i really dont want those welds to break!!!
pedal box fitted and rear breaks have been bled just to see if all works ok, and see no problems as of yet!
now this week i plan on having this back in
but not sure where these go
!!!!!
