Teaser piccys as it was dark when I left today...





Shadows with the flash make it look higher, but it sits about 15mm off the floor all along the chassis rails, happy!!



Currently powered by an axle stand!

More tomorrow guys...

Thanks dude!!

Bit more today but not photogenic and I didnt want to trash my phone as the filler dust gets everywhere.



Started blocking everything back, its not going to be rusty straight but thats for a reason that will become clear.

Got the drivers side door pretty much ready this was a long job though, popped another two coats of filler on after this shot, used the harder stuff for the last coat too, should be straight.



And a gratuitous shot, just because I cant stop grinning at how she sits



Might get up there tomoz but it will be the same, fill sand fill sand!!

Drivers door was left with a load of filler on it overnight so that was the first job...



Got it sorted and trial fitted before I went home, it was dark by then so apologies for the naff picture



Got 80% of the dash done too, there are about 5 hours in this already, its back breaking as your hunched up trying to get into gaps, hey its progress though!!



After



Trying to get to paint stage, 3 doors left and we are almost ready!!

It's coming on a treat now.

I'm just starting to think about my undercarriage and think I have reached my level of incompetence

Looking forwards to seeing the build up...

Its all nuts and bolts pal, just like an adult meccano set, and theres tonnes of help on here with how to's etc. If you can do what you've done so far, then this will be a breeze!

Cant wait for that bit! Until the quote for the interior comes through that is!!

Built my throttle bodies up with the injectors today. Bought RC1000's as according to the calculators and Wally I will need 1000cc injectors, thats 4 litres of fuel per minute if I go 100% in theory...GULP!!

The throttle bodies are fully O-ringed so will take boost well, Ive just got to Tig up some Plenum chambers thats all.



Also got the X-Dash out and had a play, its awesome, swappable maps on the fly and 6 different pages of info on what the engine is up to, even fuel gauges, expensive bit of kit, but happy with it. Also tested the coils, all good too!





4 Bar map sensor and the loom are bonus items so should be all go soon...

I think 4 litres per minute should be compulsory for everyone

Will you be able to use it on the road or just the salt flats?

I'll be glad if I can make mine start

Was going to speak to you about discounts

Thats only when its foot down and even then only 80% so a meagre 3.2l per minute, so quite economical

Like I said, its just metal bolted to metal, so its like the meccano, you will be able to do it with your eyes closed!
