Trig Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Quick trial fit of a few bits tonight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Just had a little tidy up and pulled all the panels back off but had a play with one of the wings. Thinking of pressing some holes in them too? Or is this just OTT??? I think it will look cool but should I just leave the outside looking smooth standard???

GappySmeg Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Are the holes going to perform any function? I would say leave the external appearance as 'stock' as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 They will let heat air out as behind the wing it's just a big air block. But yeah I think the stock look on the out side too. I can always do something later on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djtimo Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Holes!!! With a dimple die will look cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Bit more done tonight. Trying to get all the panel work finished off by the end of the month. This is the water rail I had to cut change the angle a little and extend to meet up with the new rad position.

Trig Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Now I know the rad fits 100% I ordered a fan set up which turned up today so be rude not to try it on. 😊 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Anybody still interested??? Bit more done today. Steering column And cut down for a extra UJ to fit under the manifold. Then I fooked about with ARB to give me bit more caster. Think I'm Gona need some new arches. Standard wing standard wheel. (5.5J). A 7J wheel. And I tried the 8J from the rear. Lol After a spot of lunch I open a delivery to find it was the wiper motor I ordered so that was next. Brackets made. Trial fitted and tack in place. And the LHD scuttle fitted to the single wiper conversion. Then I welded up the hole for the old wiper arm and thought I better fill in some of the rusty holes.

djtimo Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Wicked mate. Needs a mega arch extension with vents... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Yes +1000 with that. Other than this the rest of the exterior should look stock. Trig, what do you estimate the final dry weight to be? Do you have a power to weight target? With your mad skills you can build your own sc/turbo setup easy if you needed more power to get this baby frisky! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
