DeLaSoul Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 Quick update, been away in New Zealand with work for a few weeks so no solid progress on the car but parts arrived while i was away so I got a few small jobs done on Sunday. Fuel System - finally bought all the fittings and hose to do the fuel system. Spent about 2 hours routing and plumbing it in but will need a bit more work. At least all the hoses are now cut to length. Fuel pickup, to filter (which will have a top cover), to the bulkhead. Return is attached and back to tank. Finally the vent is sent straight up to the cage, looped back and needs a bulkhead fitting putting in to vent to the outside of the car in a "dead air zone" Fuel lines from the rail to the fuel pressure regulator and then back along the bulkhead. Excuse the wiring, need to tidy up the routing 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLaSoul Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 Small update, I've been away in NZ several times with work and now home and moving house. Started to make a new centre console mould tool. Old centre console was good, but with the harness done up tight I couldn't reach the switches so started again! Cardboard and paper model to test fit, then wooden former. Just got to take a fibre glass mould from it next. Next, preparation to move house with a wash and wax. Even the carbon came up nice! Friend brought the trailer up to move the car, but forgot the keys to the locks! Had to cut them off early in the morning which must have upset the neighbours! Car is moved now to it's new home, slightly bigger garage with more light! Little bit nicer than what I had! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Good stuff as always mate. That HD wax looks like good stuff. Does it go on nice? The garage at the new pad looks ace! Proper man cave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The garage at the new pad looks ace! Proper man cave! Wax goes on very easily, I was expecting it to be tougher to apply to be honest. It rained on the drive up and the water literally flew off! Forgot that I also have my truck back which was fun to tow on my trailer - went well though Luckily the Nissan was able to drop off the back with no issue until we could cut the locks off to load the Aerodeck Happy with the garage, loads more room and a door to the garden so I can get in and out without disturbing the neighbours is also a bonus! Started to lay it out last night (tools are at the old house). Excuse the rubbish on the shelf, cleaned out the truck at the same time as moving in! Loads of room down the side and in front of the car! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmrichards Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 How did everything go with the house move? Garage looks a good size. When I eventually get a house a good garage and drive will be high on the list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing I've struggled to find is a house with a sensible garage, the older houses seem better. Estate agents never seem to take measurements of garages so I've ended up taking a tape measure to each one or pacing it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Can't beat a good garage mate! I'd be lost without mine now. Said to Gayle, when we retire abroad (probably Spain) won't be looking at any house unless there's a double garage. She found a beauty the other night, 3 bed bungalow (new build) and the entire basement was a garage! Room for 3 cars easily and still space to work and have benches etc. Cheap as chips too £100.000! If we could have afforded to just now, we'd have been off! House was amazing. And the garage floor was all fancy polished (looked like a marble type material). Truly was amazing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeLaSoul Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 Okay, lets me see where I left off. Moved into the new house and setup the garage Fitted door handles: These could be better, need to build more support in the door, may not fit them. Finally after all these years made the rear drop links. Old vs new Refurbished the clutch slave cylinder and made the braided lines and brackets to hold it Fuel tank and battery tie downs ECU and wireless steering wheel controls mounted under the dashboard Fabricated a new centre console MSA Tow straps front and rear Moved the Accusump to the rear footwell so it's lower down Roll bars and Polyflex bushes Foot rest on the floor plate Clutch fluid and clutch setup Added a cable pull guide for the electrical kill switch, now means the pull cable is tucked away instead of in the passenger footwell Finally some work on the throttle bodies, added a much better bracket for the MAP collector block and connected hoses Lots of small jobs but done over the last few months 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
