Thanks mate, it's all starting to come together now, the carbon bonnet, chassis repairs and new engine will really finish the car off nicely..... For now :D

Such a good thread, always great seeing the updates.

Such a whore with carbon bonnet, boot n roof although it'll look epic.

The finished spec is going to be second to none!

Can't wait for fcs..... Will be hmmmmmm interesting
That is all :p

Awesome build mate

Thanks buddy, appreciate the comment :y:

Haha, im trying to do this years build as best as I possibly can this time around :) Once I got the carbon roof I always wanted a carbon boot + bonnet to have carbon all the way down the middle of the car :geek::geek::geek::geek: lol.

The car should be down to around 800kgs this summer with any luck

Thanks mate :)

While the Car is away with Mark & the Engine being built by Sandy... we are sorting the gearbox out...









Ready to be sent off to be chrygentically strengthened :D

I want this in my life too :) lol

Awsom josh,some great information in your thread as ever :)

realy cant wait for more progress :)

Looking good mate :)

never used a press when i did my box.... probally lot easier thou thinking about it :D

Cheers Chris, Sandy is trying to make his posts as informative as possible without giving too many of his secrets away :)

Yours will be plenty quick enough with the plans you've got mate!

Thanks mate, thinking about a Sandy engine yourself are you?!

Yeah it's just alot easier doing it this way, saves potentially damaging the bearing

I love this car lol

More pictures from mark... the chassis was in a bit of a mess from the previous owner not using the jacking points to jack the car up!





Bad...



Even worse



Fixed :D



Marks Strengthening kit

mmmmm rusty metal! bit of a mess really, always scares me probbing about with screw drivers and lever bars, always come across abit of rotting lol

didt even need tht my finger was enough was litterali just the under seal hold it all together,

anyways tomora i will start making the metal patches for it.

good progress.

realy does make me wonder how bad some of the fords on the road would be lol.

makes me want a bare shell rebuild :(

great to see its getting sorted :)

Once the underside of the chassis and engine bay / wheel arches have been done it has basically been a bare shell rebuild over this year and last year, including a brand new engine/cage & carbon bonnet/roof/boot.

Quite an overhaul tbh Chris lol

id hate to see what mines really like underneath!

Shame about that rust, mine is in good shape for its age tbf! its all luck i geuss and who owned the car previously! im sure it will be sorted an be better than ever!
