Looking great like normal.
When it comes to iva a few people have been caught out on radius with the long acre mirrors.

I was also worried about the handbrake height but it seems to make a perfect arm rest.

Cheers mate, yeah I'm going to have to use edge trim I think,

As for the handbrake, it's not to bad I don't think, where else you going to put it without making the cable a nightmare

One of the other companies has it in the passenger side against the tunnel but the cable routing would be hard as you say. It's quite tight as it is now.

Well stripped my car down this week and my mate has finished welded it, just a bit of weld splatter to get off then everything's off for sandblasting and powdercoat



The vin number my dad milled for me



Ordered a billet sump and HD clutch springs from AB Performance




Rosco 27th June 2015 08:24 PM

Baffle plate and new oil pickup



Clutch springs



Also got my aluminium panels lazer cut instead of getting the jigsaw out, the floors 1.5mm and the rest 1.2mm, all 5251 sheet

The big hole will sit under the engine, this will have rivnuts fitted and a removable section bolted on

Got my sump fitted today, engine looks like brand new inside, the new pickup was a little tricky to locate, but got it on in the end






Rosco 7th July 2015 09:25 PM

Got my carbon fibre tube that I've been waiting for today so did a bit more on my gear lever









To say I'm happy with how it looks is an understatement, well happy with it! I'm going to get all the aluminium bits anodised to

Needed a tool to strip my diffs down so drew one up and made it at work quick, 30mins total








Rosco 12th July 2015 08:10 PM



Fitted perfect, I had to use the air good and heat to get them out though, was a hot sweaty oily job so no pics I'm afraid

Offered my floor up to see how well it fit, perfect, was well happy, as my chassis that I built with a tape measure matches a laser cut panel





All my small parts blasted ready for powder coat next weekend


Rosco 12th July 2015 08:11 PM

Got my fuel tank







Testing for leaks



Only thing is my mate who made the tank has dressed the welds and sanded the tank so I think I'm going to get it powder coated
