That roll bar looks a little undersized :eek: :D

Are you sure it will be strong enough!!!!! :D

Joking aside though it looks really good

[gingea1pom]

It looks just fantastic. This is why the forum is great, it’s the little things we notice I mean axel stands on wheels,:D I am making myself some of them.

Build looks great and I really like the chunky roll bar.

Cheers Ginge

[Bonzo]

Hey

That is some cracking progress that you have made :cool:

The build looks fantastic :)

Can't believe how clean & tidy that workshop is .................OMG.........I am working in a Pig sty :o :D

Well done Janne

[Bonzo]

Just noticed the alloy wheels Janne :cool:

I'll have first dibbs on the set you don't use :D :D

[squbti]

Hi Janne, that looks great, nice job. I also started in april & hope to have mine on 4 weels before x-mas .
Cheers
Samy

[HandyAndy]

Hi Janne,
wow :cool: your Roadster looks great, very nice indeed,
one prob tho..... steering wheel is on wrong side :eek: :D

and that workshop is TOO clean & tidy:o

cheers
andy

[Janne E]

Hi!

Thank´s for the nice words about my build and workshop
The rollbar is 76mm I thought 50mm will be a bit girly:D

I worked as a racemechanic for a few years and they banged in it in my head that everything must be in order and cleaned up before you got a beer

The build standing a bit still for the moment because of couriers:mad:

Emma sent my parts from England the 18:th of November.
The 23:th at 9.00am DPD came with ONE parcel -the nosecone
At 10.00am DHL came with ONE parcel - the seats
At 3.00pm UPS came with ONE parcel - the bonnet, dashboards...

At 26:th Shenker called and said that they have a delivery for me a stope of 153kg!!!!!!!!
The 27:th they come with ONE parcel 16kg!!!! -the rear panel and the wings.
The rear panel and a front wing AND a rear wing was damaged:(

I waited over the weekend but no sidepanels come. At tuesday evning I mailed Emma and ask if she could track it for me.

But at the same time the courier had come back with the sides to her, they thought it was to LONG:mad:

Some times I think someone is sitting at the couriers office laughing at me!!

Hope you all will have a great weekend Janne

[HandyAndy]

Hi Janne,

we at Saturn are also aware that shipping to mainland Europe is not easy, the side panels are the main concern.

In fact , today i have been contacting various Road Haulage companies & have invited them to come to discuss our requirements for shipping the bodywork sets.
I,m trying to arrange a company that will take the kits "by Road", it may take a little longer but hopefully will solve the problem .

will keep you updated if i find a solution :)

cheers
andy

[Janne E]

Andy: I think thats the way, send it by road. Put all the parts except the sides in two or three big "paperboxes" and fill it up with something.
It must harder to throw a big box for the couriers:D

My steeringwheel is at the right side it´s in some small islands the drive at the left side:D :D

Janne

[spud69]

The plan is to send the kits out on a single Euro palet, but again its the side panels causing the problem. They are very large and vulnerable. Two reps are coming in on Tuesday for road haulage so should have some answers then.

Janne if there is anything we can do about the damaged parts then please let us know, i'm sure we can work something out. The only problem is the red Gel-Coat, due to the pigment colour anything with red in is very expensive.

Regards......AndyH

[Tilly819]

Looks great, really coming on, i really like to see things like, this, its very inspiring and otivating, also brings back fond memiries of that shage of the build, i try and forget about the cursing and long sleepless nights

Fantastic work, keep it up

Tilly

[Spikehaus]

You keep your workshop so clean, how did you avoid oil staining the floor and grinding dust everywhere? Top marks! The roll bar is great, mine sundry brackets and heavily over engineered to! Especially the engine mounds in 10 mm stock!

[teun]

Looking great. The moment i know how to post pictures i will put some of my build on this forum. But 1 question how easy is it to get a regestration on your home build car in sweden? Here in Holland it is very hard most people first go to england for a anglisch reg. and than import the car in Holland. But that way is very expensive:mad: So i was wondering how do you do that in sweden?

[Janne E]

A little update, today I paint the chassi all the other parts I also got a e-mail from Saturn with pictures of my replacements parts they look real good:D

BUT I almost got a heartattack today:eek:

I should just start spray the chassi then the garage start shaking like an earthquake:eek:

I run outside the garage and found out that the snow (40cm) from the roof had falt down to the ground....

It is a snowbank in front of the garagedoors that is 10m long, 2.5m weid and at least 1m high.....
I just pretend that I never seen it and went in and paint the chassi....

This was the result.

http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/janneeriksson/Rzerbil097.jpg

[HandyAndy]

Looks really nice Janne, :cool:

your garage is bigger than my house :eek: :D

does your steering column pass through the engine mount bracket?

& may i ask what the little bracket in the passeger side footwell/transmission rail is for ?

don,t put your chassis outside............you,ll lose it in the snow :p

cheers
andy

[Janne E]

Handy I show instead.....

http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/janneeriksson/Rzerbil069.jpg

[spud69]

Looking really good Janne - very nice paint finish, anja says that its gonna get scratched easily though - women - they just don't get it do they......:p

[HandyAndy]

Handy you have to wait a little longer :D

First I will fix the engine and put it in before I start mount the bodywork for the last time :D

:D
I,ve seen your bodywork ( spud & I packaged it ), its a great colour, can,t wait to see it on the car.

keep the photos coming.

cheers
andy

[alga]

The chassis in silver looks very advanced, like an aeroplane rather than a car.
I was jealous for a moment, but then realised I haven't started painting the chassis yet, so it's still an option.

[twinturbo]

Do you have a picture of your pipe clips, and a supplier?

TT

[spud69]

That chassis is looking FANTASTIC Janne, especially in silver.

Looking forward to seeing it with the bodywork on again.....;)

Well Done.....AndyH

[SeriesLandy]

Looking really nice. The silver looks great for the chassis.

Do you have a picture of your pipe clips, and a supplier?

TT

They look something like this (http://www.cbsonline.co.uk/brake--fuel-pipe-clips-bfpc-5pcs-379-p.asp) £1.17 each from cbs
Or £0.75 fromEuropa (https://www.europaspares.com/BRAKE_PARTS/BRAKE_PIPE_and_FLUID/KNOCK_ON_BRAKE_PIPE_CLIPS_3818.html).

[twinturbo]

Ahhh yeah.. I looked on CBS but could not see em..

Not cheap @ Harry Potter Sport.. ( Quideach ;) )

But then P Clips aint Cheap either..

TT

[Bonzo]

Your chassis is looking superb.

I think I may very well have found my new chassis colour :D :D

One can certainly see that there is some high quality work going on there :cool: :)

[Janne E]

Thanks for the nice words:D

About the clips I think I got them from Merlin:rolleyes:

Handy I think there will be a little surprise even for you ...

[HandyAndy]

Handy I think there will be a little surprise even for you ...

now , I like surprises :D :D

what what what is it??? :)

cheers
andy

[Janne E]

Time for a little uppgrade!!

The chassi is almost done and it´s on wheels.

http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/janneeriksson/Rzerbil217.jpg

So now I started with the engine and gearbox, first I took it outside for big washup.
Then i took it all apart and cleaned it all up.
I will replace the bearings shells the piston rings, oil and waterpump the camshaft bearings. I got a new camshaft a Kent cam FR32. The head will be skimmed for 1.5mm and I will modify it a little bit. The flywhell is about 1.5kg lighter. At the top it will be a pair of dellorto 40mm.
It will not be a raceengine but I hope for about 130-140hp:)

looking forward to seeing the engine running video & some bodywork fitted.


cheers

[Janne E]

Hi Guys!

It´s been a long time since I uppdated, but here it comes :)
My health has been bad for a few months so everything I do takes much moore time

So what has happened...

The engine is done and painted, the brakes is done and I have mounted some of the bodywork and a lot of other small things....
The nosecone has hinges in the bottom so I can flip it if I want.

[HandyAndy]

WOW Janne....That is stunning :cool:

The car really is looking very nice indeed, :cool:

I,ve just noticed the steel plate across the top part of the front upper wishbone brackets, nice touch

I must ask......how do you keep your workshop so tidy ? :eek: :D

won,t be long before you,re on the road?

cheers
andy

[Bonzo]

That is some fantastic progress you have made :)

I must say, that sump alteration is one of the tidyest jobs I have ever seen :cool:

Very, very nice to see a Roadster in Red .... Mind you, I would say that because I have chosen Red too :D

Gives me a nice preview of what mine might look like some day.

Well done Janne & hope you are back to full fitness, real soon :)

[Enoch]

Wow, that is some job you are doing there - very impressive. I would say that's about the best quality I have seen, certainly makes my efforts look a bit weak:)
You should be very pleased with what you have done so far, the finished car will be absolutely spectacular.
Enoch

[mark]

I thought i kept my build neat and tidy with attention to detail even on the small insignificant things but that is pretty immpressive for an amateur build :)

Keep up the good work and pics like that will be good inspiration for people having a slow patch with their build

Looks like you will be on the road soon although it will be a shame to get that one dirty! but you wont be thinking about that when your blasting down a country lane!

Ive done 1200 frantic miles already in the few months mine has been on the road :cool:

These cars are an absolute credit to chris and anyone else who helped bring the roadster to the grasps of "us lot" :D

[Janne E]

I thinks it time for a little update, the buildprogress goes a bit slowly but somethings is done.
The bodywork except thr front wings is done, coolingsystem is done, alu. panels is done and the fuelsystem incl. a pair of new Weber 45 is done
next job is the elechtrics and instruments.
After that it´s time to fire it up......

[Enoch]

WOW. That is an absolutely stunning job. I don't think it gets any better than that, you should be extremely proud. I have been working on mine today, I'm glad you don't live next door, I would be a bit embarrassed by my efforts:)
I love the colour and the quality of you work is clear to see. Well done, that man!!

[AshG]

janne like it a lot that pinto looks a bit nice

[HandyAndy]

Janne, that Roadster is absolutely stunning, WOW, its an amazing build , the attention to detail is fantastic , I keep looking at the photos & keep finding even more quality details, WOW indeed :cool: :cool:

If ever you come to the UK, can you stop by & clean my car to that standard please :eek: :D

Well done Janne......amazing job.

cheers
andy

[davidimurray]

Wow wow wow wow and did I mention wow. That is a gorgeous build - absolutely stunning!!

[flyerncle]

Words dont do any justice to the quality and attention to detail of your build Janne, OUTSTANDING !

[monsterob]

this is stunning !! have you kept a log on how many hours youve spent on it ?

mine will never look this good and im jelous ! :o

[K4KEV]

Efffin hell....that is aWWWWWsome, got to be one of, if not THE tidiest,neatest builds in the solar system. Kudos to you bud, so want to be in the same league as that.

[Janne E]

Thanks for your nice words boys I´m almost blushing :)
I don´t dare count how many hours I spent in the garage I see it like therapy;)

Janne

[flyerncle]

Janne,the column and u/j's what are they from if you dont mind me asking,I have seen something similar on a certain persons website but am reluctant to order from him.

Thanks.

[Janne E]

Flyerncle, Rally Design have them:)

[AshG]

janne i just noticed something. you are missing a clip off your fuel pressure dial on the right hand side. wouldn't want it to come off and ruin all your hard work.

[Janne E]

Thanks Ash, I knowed it but it is easy to forget such small but important things.

Janne

[spud69]

AMAZING.....WOW....STUNNING

Thats all i can say.

Well done Janne.......;)

AndyH

[flyerncle]

Thanks Janne.

Nice car :cool:

[John.W]

A Lesson to us all, the attention to detail is outstanding, If mine turns out half as good as this I will be happy.

Keep up the good work Janne, I can't wait to see the end result specialy as mine will be LHD and with a 2.0 Pinto

Love that Roll bar. Can you tell me why you need the extra joint in the steering system? I thought it wouldn't hit anything if it was made out of 1 straight bar?

Hats off

[Bonzo]

Your latest update didn't dissapoint Janne :cool: :)

The Roadster is going to be absolutely stunning once completed

Well done, your attention to detail is going to pay real dividends :)

[Janne E]

Hi boys!!
I think it`s time fore a update..
First I want to show two new toys I have in the workshop

http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/janneeriksson/Rzerbil332.jpg

http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/janneeriksson/Rzerbil333.jpg

It´s much easier to work with the car when it´s a meter up.
And a AC/DC Tig is just really fun to play with...:D

[Janne E]

Thought maybe someone was intrested of how the looks like for the moment.

http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/janneeriksson/Rzerbil367.jpg

Hopefully the car will be at the road in the end of the summer...

[Bonzo]

Your build has come a long way Janne :)

Looking fantastic .... Just the inspiration I need :cool:

May I ask where you got your dash instruments from, I have been lookig today & couldn't find any I liked.

Love your floor mounted lift platform, that must be real handy :)

[flyerncle]

A real credit to your hard work Janne :cool:

[MarkB]

Very pretty..:)

[HandyAndy]

:cool: Stunning :cool:


Oh ok...a few more words,

Janne, your Roadster looks fantastic, the attention to detail is amazing all thru your build, A very nice car indeed :cool: .

May i ask.....is that a footrest to the left of the clutch pedal?

cheers
andy

[les g]

lovely looking car
jealous of the underlift and the size of your workshop
but i think you ought to check your car
in one of the pictures its being stolen by a very dodgy rough looking geezer in a stripey shirt lol :D
cheers les g

[flyerncle]

You spelt workshop wrong Les,its "surgery".;)

[TheArf]

hI Janne love the build is definatly the bench mark to work too, I just noticed the steering rack bracket, and would like to build mine the same, do you have any dimensions by some chance

Arfon

[Janne E]

Hello boys!!!

Just want to tell you what my roadster now is roadlegal and I got my numberplates:)

I have a smile from ear to ear then I´m out driving and it´s drives real well!
Hopefully the winter will come late this year so I can got some real nice rides before the white h--l starts...

[spud69]

EXCELLENT Janne,

Thought you had been quiet for a bit and that is the reason why, and a bloody good reason. All in time for the good weather coming to, in about 6 months.....:eek:

Well done, we know it was a lot of hard work to get to where you are now but it looks like it has all been worth it.

Very Nice......:) AndyH

[will_08]

Your roadster is very impressive well done Janne.

I like your number plate too!! :D

[Janne E]

Yes it was a lot of work and some problems... but with friends like you Andy everything was sorted out:)

Janne

[TSM Locost]

Very nice build. Cracking registration No. ( Somebody was going to say that so thought i would ) :D

[brainbug007]

It does look really good! I bet you just look for excuses to take it out for a spin now :)

[Bonzo]

Hi Janne

Reading that your build is now on the road has bought a huge smile to my day :)

I have been following your build progress avidly.

Your Roadster has turned out fantastic & is everything that I hoped my own build would be :cool:

A huge well done on such a well built car, you should feel very proud of your achievement.

Enjoy the drive :) :)

[HandyAndy]

Wow, what a stunning Roadster , nice one Janne :cool:

I noticed you have changed your mirrors from an earlier photo, did the original mirrors cause you a problem at the test ?

cheers
andy

[Janne E]

Thanks for the nice words boys:)

Handy, the only problem I have with the other mirrors was that I didn´t se anything but the rear wings in them:rolleyes:
Now I have three models of mirrors I´m not wich I will use.

In fact the tests went really well, not a single thing they complained at!!

They were really nice, in the paper they wrote 105hp:D

2.0L Pinto skimmed and ported head, FR32 camshaft, twin Weber 45:s
105hp.... HIhihihi

Your right, I would have thought more around the 95hp mark :D

Only joking of course!

Nice car

[Janne E]

Hi boys and girls!!
It´s really time for a update it has been a long and boring winter but I have making some upgrades with my roadster...

First I changed the cylinderhead to a head with big valves and fully ported and pollished from JE Motors.

http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/janneeriksson/Rzerbil397.jpg

Next job was to change to a 2.4 ratio steering rack and I got new wheels and new Toyo R888 so now I´m only waiting for better weather.

The engine has been set up and runs fantastic... but it´s extremly cold in 120 miles an hour without helmet when it´s only +4 degres

http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/janneeriksson/Rzerbil417.jpg

http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/janneeriksson/Rzerbil422.jpg

http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/janneeriksson/Rzerbil426.jpg

[Janne E]

Hi boys I think it´s time for a update...
My Roadster is real nice to drive, but got a little problems first it was the watertemp getting a bit to high for my nervs when driving in queue so I get a new bigger ally radiator. Then I got some problems with the oilpressure and got a little knocking sound for a second then it was coldstarted, so what to do???
I send Eric at JEm Engines a mail got a fair price for their Pinto premium plus shortblock, it´s bored out to 92mm and fully ballanced and it looks as new.
So out with old and in with the new.. I also changed the camshaft to a FR33 from Kent Cams.
I have only drived it for about 200km so I take it a bit easy so far:D
Here are some photos..
http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/janneeriksson/Rzerbil450.jpg

http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/janneeriksson/Rzerbil449.jpg

http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/janneeriksson/Rzerbil448.jpg

It´s really nice to see some old faces here again!!

[spud69]

That polished head and the recon block look lovely Janne, should be a good blast with with the new cams in to. Just noticed your previous pics and the car has a really good mean look to it, like you number plate - whenever you fly past these boy racers (assume you have them to) they will all be left with egg on their faces................:D

All the Best.........Andy

[Janne E]

Will have it set up in a rolling road as soon it´s runned in then I´m gonna eat boy racers for breakfast...:D :D

[Dualist]

The car build is immense, love it. And nice tidy little upgrade too on the motor, beautiful work man :)

[kez_19]

snyggt jobb Janne jag hoppas att min blir hälften så bra som din när jag väl kommer igång med det

michael

[Janne E]

Hi boys, now it´s really time for a little uppdate.....
Last winter I uppgrade the frontbrakes with Willwood breaks and made new chromed front wishbones. I also bought new longer frontwings so I don´t get my face full of stones... the R888 picks up a lot of small stones and they hurt as ......
The new engine runs real good, I got 175hp from the Pinto:D
And her some pictures..

[SeriesLandy]

Nice brakes, what pads have you gone for as I've got the same ones ? I know Ashgabat runs minted 1144's on his car
