I have a video somewhere of it rocking on the axle stands after I got it back from having the cage put in. All the windows are now in, just had the last one to drill and secure last night so it's all set to go off and have the engine installed 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeLaSoul Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 Small jobs until the car goes in for the engine but all helps: Repainted the grill, better prep this time. Black plastidip so can change it anytime. Also found the other fog lamp, I think these look so much better than the smaller ones! Routed and connected the accusump hose. Had to cut away the inner bulkhead skin so I could get the nut on and mount the oil fitting securely. I hate these jobs especially now the car's painted Had to redo the other side of this as I had the non-return valve on the wrong side of the fitting. Took the time to re-route the PS hoses too. Need a new mount to keep them from rubbing on the oil lines but can sort that later. Rebuilt the gear shift linkage, new polybushes and all powder coated parts, Buddyclub short shift and weighted gear-knob Also repainted the surround in the car. Reset the seat and harnesses correctly. I had the seat 1 hole out but now sits perfect Tied down all the pipes and hoses to the rear (bar the fuel lines) so all looks good. Need to do the same at the bulkhead next Finally, a friend has redone the trailer from front to back. All new paint, lights ramps and boards. Also fitted the electric winch so no more sore arms winding the car on and off anymore! The Aerodeck goes back to the bodyshop next weekend to sort the rear bumper then in for the engine and gearbox to be installed. Coming down to the final fixes plus the exhaust and it's ready for mapping!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Coming together now, looking great so far too. Trailer actually looks pretty nice, so glad so far we've always been able to drive the car on and off the one we use! Starting to get closer to the exciting part now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to get closer to the exciting part now Cheers, I know it'll start to slow down as it's all small jobs for the next few weeks. I bought the trailer with a mate a few years ago and he uses it for his business and stores it and my truck, I use it when ever I need it. He did all the maintenance on it so I'm happy with that, should last a few more years now! 3 hours ago, Chandler said: looking good mate! making me want to carry on with mine Get it done mate, there's something therapeutic about working on the car every now and then Edited May 8, 2018 by DeLaSoul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me another 3 years to finish the car and I'll be there! I know I've had the dashboard in a number of times, but I've moved the dash over an inch to better line up with the steering wheel and my seating position. Center console is just placed in as it needs more cutting to go around the oil line to the Accusump. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
