Big day

[HandyAndy]

a bit of an update on my car...
engine runs / brakes are done /fuel tank & lines all done / electrics working & dash board works.
here,s a couple of pics taken today, started putting bodywork on .

So its getting there

[Enoch]

Looking good Andy, quite some progress there. Just one thing, those headrests are too low for IVA. The top of them have to be 753mm from the base of the seat. I have the same seats and measured mine today. It's an easy fix, just cut some tubes that go over the existing headrest rods so they can't go down so far. Hope I'm not teaching Granny to suck eggs
Keep up the great work.

Looking really good Andy. You'll soon be racing it around the track and driving it on the roads. I see you've cleaned off all of the dust from the last time I came to visit .

They are these seats TT:

They cost £120 delivered for the pair, which is bargain if you ask me.

cheers guys

Enoch.... grandma sucking eggs ......I,ve purposely not welded in my cross brace in the roll bar until i,ve set the seat height, so yes the headrest will be raised

TT.... the seats are as in the linky that Tatey has added ( thanks Tatey ), they are a bargain but as i haven,t driven my car yet can,t comment on how they feel whilst driving. But I can now see over the aeroscreen lol

Tatey... yes, its had a clean up, made good use of the new airlines we now have at Saturn, great for getting dust out of all the awkward to get at places.

Got to fit the rad next & the next purchase is a prop, then i,ll give it a test drive around the unit ,

cheers

Looking G-G-Great Andy .... You'll have it ready for that track day yet

Looks like you are on the home straight now

The head rest height that Enoch spoke of is based on a reference point of the seat squab ( The bit you put your bum on )

The datum point is in the IVA manual some where .... As Enoch said .... No real drama to sort.

Cheers Ronnie,

It,d be great if i can attend the trackday in my own car,

This week i hope to fit the rad, back braces & cross brace for the roll bar & tidy up the wiring .
I,m going to spend a few evenings on it as Spud & I are busy with Saturn work
Really looking forward to getting the prop installed as it,ll make a change from pushing it in & out of the unit

just in case anyone isn,t sure which is my car .......its the one without side panels & rear tub ......at the moment.

cheers
