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

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! :thumbs:

you wont be able to weld in properly with the screen in mate, a fitter wont charge you much to remove and refit it tho.

 

once you get your head round where it all goes then the cage aint bad to do, you defo need an extra pair of hand tho, me and a mate did mine and we could of done with someone else when test fitting decideing what went where.

 

are you running it fully stripped when you fit the cage or trying to put everything back in?

Cool thanks for the info man :thumbs:

 

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.

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

i needed a drivers headlight and after alot of searching all i could find were expensive ones so fond these that were going cheap

252541_10150207489096814_551426813_7729208_1020569_n.jpg

not convinced at them but they'l do for now. got to save money where i can

247314_10150207493221814_551426813_7729248_5728796_n.jpg

 

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

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:
