A bump for the thread as I have finally sorted the photos for the previous update.

Sounds like good progress but Photobucket is killing the picture links..

Back onto the car after a summer sorting out the house and garage.

First job was to get the car into a spit so it could be turned over to work on the underside. Easy on the front as it just bolted up to the chassis legs. The rear wasn't so easy as it hasn't got any metal left. So I fabricated a temporary frame to get back to the rear bumper mounts.







Next job was to mount up the diff.

















Treated myself to some suspension. KW 2 way race set up. Went for the inverted dampers to stiffen them up.





Onto building up the wishbones now and mounting the suspension. That will be a big hurdle overcome as the rear end was always going to be a big job!

A big thanks to Tom (Salinot) for organising the purchasing and shipping of these from America. Its great to have people who will go to such lengths to help out a fellow car enthusiast!



Finally a big thanks to Albert from AK motorsport for supplying the bearings seperately from his normal kits to fill the holders.

Carbon wing mirrors were from Prospeed. They are going to be left carbon. Car will be white with carbon details.

It's pretty hairy dropping it down. That will be the last time anything is done up there I think. It's great to work at ground level and be able to spin the car around. You have to make best with what you have though!

Bloody hell Hamish that looks like a scary job getting that down from the attic

Looks like you have a great new home for it. Nice moody lighting for the photos

As you were...

[S3ilver]

Where did you get the wing mirrors from?

[Greg_S]

Cracking work, you've been pretty busy!

Love it - great work as ever Hamish. Sorry to hear about the shoulder!

Well as said I unfortunately was taken off my bike on the velodrome back in September and broke my shoulder right through the cup. This nicely timed with moving into a new house the week before so progress has been slow. I did however manage to get the car moved last months from my parents house so I am back onto it now.

Car being prized out of its garage! It fought us all the way as its up higher on the jig it wouldn't come out without both ends of the floor being dropped!

















That meant I could start on the body panels. First were the rear aches which I bought to replace the old ones as I wanted rid of the B pillar totally. To go with the outer arches I also chopped up the inner kevlar arch tubs to fit.





















Bonnet was next, this needed clearance for the top mounts and cage tubes.





Finally it was the rest of the panels for a trial fit up:














Finally I managed to pick up some AP racing rear calipers from a WRC mini. To go with them 330 x 32mm AP racing J hook discs





So that bring the project up to date. More work to be done properly finalising all of the panels, its great to be back working on it in a much better environment. So good having the jig on wheels able to spin it around!
