ZedMeister Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 In in the progress of doing simply mods but this is pretty inspirational, keep up the good work, coming along nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Keep up the progress. Watching with interest. Also, with regards to it being white, thought that would be a good thing, as any sponsors stickers should be clearly visible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slidemotorsport Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 cheers people ye white is easy, looks good, easy to repair when i have any incidents etc and a good background colour. the main stickerage on it will be my garage name. although white is a bastard to keep clean in the engine bay it makes it so much easier to work on, brighter and easier to diagnose leaks etc quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIcad7 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Awesome work as always man! Debating if I'll be able to fit my cage without having to have the windscreen out, what do you think? Did everything line up ok with the cage or was it a bit of an arse? This car is going to be a serious machine once finished, can't wait to see it go!

Cool thanks for the info man Itll be fully stripped and coming off the road once the cage is in. Planning on taking a week out in the summer with a mate to sort it all.

slidemotorsport Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 bit of an update then... had a few bits turn up from driftworks, mainly safety stuff like the extinguisher etc adam s has been a legend sorting the bodywork out, he's been coming round whenever possible to sort it for me, think he painted the insides of doors, bonnet and boot and filled the dents on the roof on this night next chance i got i threw the doors on, quite happy at that point as it was coming together nicely a few interior bits i etch primed then painted myself :wack: i needed a drivers headlight and after alot of searching all i could find were expensive ones so fond these that were going cheap not convinced at them but they'l do for now. got to save money where i can couple of fancy bits im happy with is the digi dash and fusebox spent a bloody fortune on braided brake line and fittings, i hate coper lines, never look good enough so although theyre expensive im glad i went braided this was the 1st time i had the engine mounted on its proper mounts, fairly happy with it bolted the boot on and fitting a few trims really starting to look like a car again now for now im going to be running standard kit, not sure if im happy about this but again gotta watch the pennies a picture of the flocked dash fitted really happy with this finally got my gearbox back after a long wait so thought id stay late and test fit measured up for the prop asel so going to try and get up early tomorrow/today and get that ordered before 1st job in the morning. jobs to do asap are... hydro mount then pipe up/ make all the lines gearbox mount make sump theres loads of other little bits that have been done but may add them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slidemotorsport Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 also played with the engine a little, it had a bad oil leak in the soarer, turns out which ever retard had the rocker covers off last managed to snap 6 of the bolts which were all on the inner edge. so oil was pissing out, managed to sort all those out and just picked up a new pair of gaskets yesterday. the exhaust manifold was badly cracked and external wastegate was hitting the steering column so play with that and tacked it up then removed he manifold and a mates tig'in that up and strengthening it abit aswel adams round again tomorrow night, well tonight to prime a fair few bits like the roof, a few holes that needed welding up like the areal etc and a few general dents around the car. thought it may aswel be right to start with even if i do smash it up at the 1st drift day :wack: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Flocked dash looked good - that was on the list for my 350z when I px'd it for the '70. Shame it stops the airbag working - not thats a problem in your car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
