Small update its been a while since I've posted anything.


I did a bit of a re jig on my roll cage replaced the front hoop and added some side bars.

I made a couple of seats just need to learn upholstery now.

And managed to get the diff and wishbones fitted.

I also made a new gear stick lever and knob.

Oh noooo, I've been daydreaming about making my ally scuttle and bonnet for ages and the last thing I needed was more inspiration!

bit more progress tonight got the rear shoes fitted.

also had a go at making an english wheel with left over steel at work. I've had a bit of a go with it but I'm going to need a fair bit of practice before trying some body work.

It's been a while since I've been on the forum but I've still been tinkering away, it must be the slowest build in history but anyway I thought I'd show you lot some of the work I've been doing on the roadster.




a few of the nose cone I've been working on. more to follow

started to weld it together lot more work to do yet.


Also started an aero screen.

Started some arches as well.


the rears under way.

Started the fronts to.

And as she stands at the moment the body work still needs some refining but it's getting there.


I'm very quickly running out of room in the garage.

Wow, Not many people roll their own body! Hats off to you!

As for the longest build, doubt it. I have been going for 9 years and not touched it in 4!

Yes, your work is very impressive. The shop in the background of these latest photos hints at some involvement with sculpture, which would be a confidence builder. Even so, those clamshell shapes are a complex and sophisticated 3D shape, and your work looks excellent. They are quite an accomplishment.

Evening everybody, it's been a while since my last post so I thought I'd give you all an update.

managed to get the rear arch metal work finished.


Built a new exhaust

put a bracket for the headlight front indicators together just need to make the bracket that attaches to the clamshell wings.

Thought I'd start on the trans tunnel cover.

Start off by making a foam pattern then moulding it.I then produced a wax from the mould and got it cast at work, then a lot of sanding later got the metalwork finished just need to make some gaiters the handbrake and gear lever.

started to rough out the dash but still need to do some more work on that so will need to do another update when it's finished

Started work on the inlet manifold as well, using a set of triumph speed four throttle bodies hope they work out ok I've spent a while putting these together.

Some amazing work there, really true craftmanship.

TT

Thanks twin turbo. Trying to make the most of the lock down and get a good bit done.

Amazing work. I would say it's inspiring, but i'm just off to the garage to start chopping my car up with the hacksaw....

evening all bit more of an update managed to get chance to start work on a rear diffuser still got to work out the fixing points but it's a start.


Also managed to get some brackets made for the seats. They're 3rd row seats out of a volvo XC90 not a bad fit.
