v8 coupe project

[WabTheKing]

thats the plan, should be able to, so long as work keeps coming it, working late on it as many nights as poss to get it down there

[WabTheKing]

been quiet this week so got some more done on the v8,

crank sensor relocated,
all engine mountings bolted in,
new 255 tyres fitted all round (dunlop sp super sport race tyres)
alternator belt fitted,

[WabTheKing]

all subframes/struts/hub etc are going to be painted at a later date, just trying to get it driving for the time being

[WabTheKing]

could prob fit a 285 on the 10" rear without any rubbing issues, 255 fits nicely on the 8.5" fronts

Looks cool! Bet it will sound awesome!

[Error404]

what offset are your 8.5s Will?

@bo did you not hear it at ADI, certainly drew a crowd! :mischeif:

@patrick, think big lee might have a video of me driving it back on to the trailer at ADI this year, no drive by pictures (yet) lol sedans just got the s2 bumper and headlamps in for the time being, fingers crossed i have an aby avant to rape for parts for it:mischeif:

@error404 wheels have got to come off again later this week, waiting for some brake fittings so will post up details then, they are an itailian wheel with the valve in the centre, filling the rim through one of the spokes lombardia i think the make, i keep looking for another set!!! rears needed a 27mm thick adaptor plate off an s2 hub, got about 5mm clearance from the track arm and about the same on the caliper face to the inside of the spoke

@dean the old man wants a couple of thoses low bays fitting above the welding bay if you can get your mitts on any more matey

@ruffiano i did them years ago when the car was glasia-metalic just breaks up the side a little, also did the A post trims black to blend in with the glass, ill see if i can find an old picture of it when it was silver.

@timE-J anglesey isnt far from manchester! welcome to call in for a brew at the workshop anytime
