I no some people won't like it, but I got the spoiler for nothing, it's only for a mess about, that's why I've done it to bolt on and off easily

Today's job was to start making a bead roller like below



Bits required

Machining the blocks to house the bearings on my dad's home built cnc



Last up my dads started on my dash buttons, we're having a go using an ARDUINO, it's a programable chip with ins and out, they can be used with switches, sensors, relays just have a look on ebay to see what's available, the boards are about £8 and everything else like switches are pence, it's programmed from a PC through USB, so things like indicator flashing can be programmed, if it works out ok it will all be soldered and put in a little project box

Steady progress this week I think

Horns mounted



Headlight mounts made





I stripped the whole chassis down so I could lift it outside, I needed to cut the front shock mounts off as I had got them in the wrong place, to far back by about 10mm

My garage from outside while it's empty



Headlights on

Lower engine mounts tacked on



Next up I made some threaded bosses for my wing mirrors

Also made myself a list, my main aim is to get the chassis ready for powder coating

Looking fantastic as normal.

Add the vin number to pre powder coat.
With your digi dash. How will you mount the speedo pickup?
Earth points. I used rivnuts but others have welded bolts onto the chassis.

Cheers, some good points there,

Do I have to apply for a vin number?

I will check with the dash specs,

Also I will get some bolts welded on

Thanks for the input

Cheers, my dad's made good progress on the dash circuit, if you click the picture below its a video







There's still a bit to do but I think he's sorted the hardest bits of code

Also I've sorted my steering shaft out with some thick walled tube, I heated it up to get the shaft in, just needs tiging around the ends and possibly a few pins

You now need to apply directly to the dvla Swansea
There is a handy letter at the bottom of this post

Also someone mentioned roll pinning the steering extension. I did that and welded the pin so it will never come out. The inspector didn't look at but they are all different. 10mins work or £90 retest fee and the effort getting there.........I know which I went for.
