Thought id post up an update of how the car is getting on....

Popped down to see Nev at F1 Moto the other weekend to get some bits done to the car..........

Few pics

9AM - Car up on axle stands



by 9.30 one subframe is made up and seat is in!! (Ebay Budget jobs - wouldnt have chosen the colour!!)



9.45 -start on rear blocks




My mate mike hard at work while sid adjusts carb & diff is welded!



11.00 - start on front



Few other cars getting the F1 Moto treatment



12.00 Done!!


Its quite low!! ( note the baked bean can modification! )




MUCHOS respect to Nev for getting it all done in 4 hrs and risking his trading licence to boot!!

Front springs have settled a bit since these pics..........looking a bit more even now...........

Only thing is am now getting chunks torn out of rear tyres now...... had ago at rolling arches tonight but got too cold.... will have another go tommorow....

anybody done this....any tips info appreciated... finding it quite tricky due to inner arch!

Looking great Sam,

What are you using to roll the arches???

As said, i have a roller if you want to come and use it, bit of a drive to Leicester for you though.

Cheers for the offer mate,

My friend works in a body shop so managed to borrow theirs....

Have managed to roll the lip at the top of the arch just not the sides....

You just have to be fairly brutal bud.

I'll see what these azevs are like, but i think i may have to roll the lip at least.

Nice to see progress on the car - lookin low

You do need to use a lot of force to fold them round. On std offset rims you dont have the problem.

Looks great, but the exhaust looks worryingly low

That must have been the fastest front end conversion on the planet!

What did u do with the front prings? Cut? Or did you get the ones classicswede are selling?

Loking Good!

Blocks andSprings are from Nev @ F1 moto ... about 80mm ... he has allsorts of bits including fiberglass panels + 5 link rear setups!... dont know if he gets some bits from classicswede or if he fabricates them himself..?

ooo intriguing...

Fibreglass bonnets he has made for him, 5-link he fabs up himself, buys springs/blocks in.

GRP bonnet

I've been thinking about getting soem made for ages. How much? Can you get then done in carbon fibre? I could sypply the carbon woving if needed.

Cheers

Few more pics for ya!

Have rolled the arches now so hopefully wont be having as much rubber issues.... Having said that the wheels do stick out of the arches so may not solve problem....

I reckon next thing will be some new rear shocks to try and stiffen up the rear...

Startin to look good though!








Managed to use a 205 boss for the steering wheel although the self canceling indicators dont work unfortunately...... trying to work out a way around it at the moment ..

mate im lovin your car! almost exactly how i want mine to be!
track terror...

exactly a week til my driving test

Very good
