i thought i'd best add my toy to the projects list

its a track only car for winter use (it gets a tad cold in the indy)

as it was when we bought it


i got a tad carried away with the drill


also note the 4 bonnet pins this is why


slightly bare interior


the doors also went on an extreme diet


as the heater matrix has gone i got one of these (as suggested on here) from CBS


and my new dash lay out


this will be a slow moving project due to the fact we are part way through building an evo 6 (ex-wallace performance) back into a road car
finally back home


the bumper is grey as it's the only colour i had
also you may notice the gap where the bumper reinforcement was removed and the dent from it being written off


poly windows and slider added


old seat fitted due the the new one being set alight and an OMP bolt in cage


r888's on steels and a spare axle tube


and the rest of the axle awaiting the addition of some camber adjustment


one last pic

sorry its been such a long time since i last updated but ive been rebuilding my other track toy as well

Is the heater just for demisting the windscreen or will it keep yer feet warm too?

No windows is lighter than poly carb

Rallye gets sideways in the wet at Snetterton

Why waste time and effort drilling the grill when it would be easier to just remove it completely?

Circular holes in thin sheets are terrible for airflow, which is why they used them for air-brakes...

You will struggle to find a bender at reasonable money that will do a good job of making the bends unless you plan to make them from small diameter thick-wall tubing. (The formers will allow the inner part of the bend to flatten or wrinkle on 2.5mm x 45mm diameter tube this weakens them severely thats why the pros use mandrel benders)

sorry i should have been more specific
what i mean is im trying to find someone with a bender to bend the tubes for me
but
all the local firms seem to either use 50mm or 48mm tube max
when i ordered the tube i made the mistake of getting 2 inch o.d. (50.8mm)

looks like im going to have to hire a trailor and look further afield

i can get the use of 5 or 6 centre benders (like the machine mart jobby) but it tends to flatted the tube a mandrel bender is what im looking to use
im sure one will turn up it just means waiting thats all
