Or did you get the car from up here?

[Mathias]

Got the car from Aberdeen....

Hoping that the new exhaust and a different actuator will improve things

[Andy_K]

Yeah, i welded a bar across the front panel to hold everything in place

[Mathias]

I'm just going to weld 2 tabs from intercooler to front crossmember that way it can be easily moved or adjusted

[Mathias]

Fitted exhaust properly today.... with heat wrap also as its a mild steel system, also fitted new track rods and track rod ends

[Mathias]

Roll cage mounts now made up...... just need to mock fit with cage in car and then drill holes for feet in mounts and tack nuts to fit the cage feet

Also ordered some other new bits and hoping to get mounts welded in asap and interior painted!

[mark1311]

who made the mounts mate? thickness of the steel?

[Mathias]

believe its 3.2mm steel mate, and one of my friends works for an engineering company, i cut the material and he did the welding for me.... im currently doing a welding course but not confident enough although i'll be welding them in myself

[Mathias]

New fuel lines and other parts here today, will finish fitting front brakes and driveshafts tomorrow

[Mathias]

Doing a few things on the car tonight, trial fitted doorcards and bins, trial fitted polycarb windows and made up new intercooler mounts, few pics

new battery and fuel lines with few other bits turned up today, will get car back on wheels this week.... mock fit cage and seat, weld cage mounts in, fit brake lines then paint interior

[crisppug]

[Mathias]

Looking good mate

[Andy_K]

Looking good Andy. Where did the hose seperators come from?

[Mathias]

Not much done tonight, got a spoox ecu engine mount fitted and made a massive difference in engine movement which is good as the turbo is VERY close to the radiator

How close is very close?

[Mathias]

half an inch away from radiator..... however there is now no engine movement at all, obviouisly there may be when driving hard.... but confident it will be ok :?)
