DeLaSoul Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) After a long break away, redundancy and moving house a lot has happened to the chassis so time for the normal long update! Throttle bodies - Now all fitted and the linkages are working Power Steering and oil cooler: Master Cylinders: ECU and Engine wiring: Dashboard and Instrument binnacle re-mould: Bodywork and Aero: Flat rear floor and extra bracing BYC side skirts Big gay wing! Front splitter mounts Mounting to rotisserie: Chassis dolly so I can move it around in the new workshop: Off to the bodyshop: Cam cover back from Spooner Restorations : Parts for shot blasting and powder coating: Body prep for paint: Seam sealer around a lot of the new fabrication work like the fuel cell well Underside black raptor interior and engine bay are matt blue, chassis floor is blue tinted raptor Outside is gloss French racing blue, same as the cam cover Re-assembly begins now the paint is dry Cut the bumper to clear the center front splitter mount Dashboard installed Center console in progress, second pull was much better but still not perfect, so I can use it to mock up the switches Front subframe, steering rack and ball joints all refreshed, new engine mounts all ready to be installed Finally, engine progress: Intake ports filled in and matched to intake manifold New valves installed and 3 stage valve job done. Difference left to right Block was cleaned, soda blasted and prepped (all bolts and brackets removed. Block guard fitted, bores machined true (+0.5mm) and honed Crank balanced (I had a go but had to let the expert take over) Wasn't too bad to begin with but we got it spot on Next was the flywheel and clutch cover. Had to dowel the cover as it wanted to move around a bit Carbon roof bung in progress And that's that! Car rebuild is in progress and moving along steadily now it's all back from paint Edited November 14, 2017 by DeLaSoul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
