Hello but I'm not building a Haynes roadster, quite

[Davey]

Cheers guys, could be a week or two before any worthwhile pictures, All I've done so far on the fanimold is rough out the shape of and bore the ports through the mating flange plates and start to form the transfer tubes, got one somewhere near so far. Oh yes I've machined up the top tubes to take the itbs and the top mounting plate. It'll either be a work of art or a pile of scrap!

Wahey, my seats arrived this morning and they fit into the chassis perfectly and they're really comfy too! Hopefully my new gearbox will arrive either tomorrow or Thursday but I'll have to leave it till Saturday afternoon/Sunday to fit it as we've got too much work on at the moment to do it during the week.

Davey,

‘Too much work’ must be a good thing, surely that means more pennies?

I think I must have sat in those seats for about two hours now, really comfy. I had to put them in the loft so I didn’t wear them out!

Cheers Ginge

Davey,

I didn’t read your post properly and went to your web site looking for pictures!

It is going to look great with six bike carbs.

Not seeing any pictures just builds my anticipation; give us a shout when the pictures are up.

Cheers Ginge

Cheers Ginge will do, they're ITBs not carbs though. There's been a bit of a hickup with the MT75 box though. Guy's e-mailed today to say its not the box he thought, it is an MT75 RWD V6 box but out of a Transit, he has a converter plate to match the Cosworth lump to go with it and has offered me that plus a partial refund. Alternatively he has offered me a V6 4X4 MT75 and a RWD MT75 to build a hybrid myself plus a partial refund. Third option he's given me is a type 9 V6 box with alloy bellhousing plus an even bigger partial refund.

As the type 9 is going to be too close to its limits I've bypassed that option although the bigger refund would have been nice . I've gone for the 4X4 and RWD MT 75 hybrid build it myself option as this will give me the chance to check the internals out plus I get a nice wad of cash back, that's what I call a result .

Webshite updated with photos .

Basically Zoe and I have spent a couple of hours in the shop this morning and have now tacked the front and rear suspension mountings in place and started framing the rear tub area, then we went to the pub for a couple of hours .
