Another one of those build threads...

Hi all,

Have been on the forum for a fair while now and started my build back around May 2010, but haven't been a big poster. Thought it was about time to say hi and to show you all where i'm at. I am using the 2ltr DOHC engine and have just managed to get it running with the help of the forum! Bodywork is nearly all there as are the brakes, so it is mostly wiring and tidying up left to do. Hopefully the picture works...

So this is at its current state, have just sorted out some pictures of the whole build so far and put them up on Photobucket.

Nice build, are you going to be sticking to that engine?

[rapidtornado]

great looking car! hope mine turns out that nice :cool:

[rapidtornado]

handbrake handle and gear knob/gaitor looks cool where did you get them from please or are they custom made?

[Luke2842]

Cheers guys, I think I will change the engine at some point once its on the road, quite like the idea of the s2000 motor.

The gear lever, handbrake and gaiters are all from Richbrook, I won them in a competition through Complete Kit Car.

[K4KEV]

That is very nice workmanship bud, well done so far and keep it up

Luke your build is looking great, some really good ideas especially around the filler cap. Where did you get that if you don't mind me asking all the ones I've found are £110 or more.

Also I think your front flexi pipes are an iva fail as they terminate on the bodywork. Ask AshG as that was one of his fail points.

Good luck witht the rest of the build.

that looks lovely. you have done a fantastic job there

mines a right bodge !

Brake flexi's will be fine for IVA. That is exactly how Gus's are and his passed fine. Looking good

Thank you for correcting me, maybe I'm just making it up (getting old:( )

Thanks guys for the comments. I do remember something with the front brakes but thought it was because they were passed through the panel with grommets? The filler cap is from CBS can't remember how much I paid but it was nowhere near that much.

Great build with good ideas. I only hope mine looks that good when I'm finished.:D
