Enoch's Rear Arches and Stuff

[wylliezx9r]

Lots of good work going on there. Have you any idea of what it will look like when finished ? I can't help thinking it'll look a bit like a beaufort or whatever they're called.

It will look a little bit Beauford like but my inspiration came mainly from an old Singer that I saw at a car show once. Not even sure of the name of the model but I liked the styling of the running boards and arches. Looking at the front it will look a bit like a 1920's Rolls Royce. It will most certainly confuse people as it will be unique and it will be much quicker than it's appearance would suggest
It has been designed to allow the fitting of twin turbos if I discover that the 300 standard BHP is simply not enough. I intend the interior to look quite plush with a polished wood dash housing the original Jaguar instruments.

Land Rover fuel tank! Ingenious!
My dad has a land rover, I wonder if he'd notice...

Also, love the idea of making your own arches, I'm waiting on the right mood before I cut-and-shut the locost nosecone I have.

Have just been in the garage making the front wheel arches. I had done one version but they looked orrible so I have scrapped them and have started a second pair. I wanted to cover the front suspension with wheel arch to get around IVA issues of external projections but I just could not get it to look right. I am now getting round the projections by making the front wheel arch support and headlight support bracket so that the 100mm test sphere can not contact the upper wishbone mounts etc. That'll do it
Oscar, I don't think your Dad will notice that you have nicked his fuel tank if you hide the rest of the car. If you have a Brother you may like to blame him, that's what I used to do with mine. I actually came up with the idea by pure accident, while trying to save a few quid. Saw it at a car boot sale and thought it would work. Don't think the V12 will take long to go through the 10 gallons the tank holds though.

Hopefully from those you can start to get an idea of what the finished article will look like.

Oh man ! That thing is mental. It looks a bit like that old fashioned car built in Devon called Brutus that was on top gear. Definatley won't loose that baby in Tesco car park ! Lol. Excellent work Enoch, it's nice to be able to put a picture to the project.
