Make sure to weigh everything that has been removed before you dispose/sell them on, Im very curious to see how much weight can be lost for a circuit car with full rollcage etc

Give me a bell if your working on it this weekend and i'll come give you a hand.

Too late for that, it's been stripped down a few times since I got Imported it 2 years ago. I have been weighing things as they come out, like the whole floor for example. All I can do is base the car at 1480kg and see what it is when finished. I will be taking the scales to TOTB with me 2

::: UPDATE :::

Just got back home now, so chilling with a cuppa before bed

Got plenty done today.

Altered the manifold & then opened a box to reveal this

So the first thing we did was this, to check a few things

Got the servo's fitted (always the first step to rubuilding the engine bay)

When I get some more money I will fit an aftermarket pedal box but for now these will do.

Got a bit creative last thing tonight and after painting the Brake servo support brace black we added some silver speckles by accident at first but the end result was impressive

So I speckled the steering rack too

Thanks to this ugly guy I now have lots of very clean parts to refit to the car, highly recommend his cleaning skills

This was the end result of the box, taken just as I was locking up. Bloody big B*****d

And here is the first shot of the motor

See you all this time tomorrow night !

Great project mate. Your car is mental. I cant wait to see how much it weights when finished. The front end is like swiss cheese

Hopefully this car will keep up with the Roger Clarke scooby.

etikoner · 17th June 2008, 07:30 AM

looks nice..

keep it up!

fourtoes · 17th June 2008, 12:42 PM

Goerge a couple of questions if you dont mind?
Firstly do you have any pics of how much you had to cut away of the rear end before you fitted the new rear arches, id be interested in how you did it and how you're going to finish it off inside the wheel arches?
Also your arches seem to have the bolts that hold them on exposed, i presume you've done that incase you need to replace a wing some time in the future? (whilst racing)

I was wondering how you would blend them in if you wanted to make them look more factory?
Beautiful project mate, cant wait to see the finished thing!

Cheers buddy
Bob

Cheers for comments guys, I have just got but didn't have time to take any photos today sorry, I will make up for it tomorrow.

Bob,
I have a photo yes, just been looking, it's in a folder somewhere.
It all depends on how much you want to cut out.

The quality of the fenders is awesome, really nice and rigid and a perfect fit, which makes life much eaiser. Gary from Japsalon who supplied the kit is fitting one to his road/track going R32. Gary @ Japsalons wide R32 and he never cut much out. Once you offer a fender up it becomes more simple. I however have cut a much as I can, mine is about 1" lower than the bolts.
The inside of the arches will be finished in ally and just rolled, proberbly have to put it on the shrinker stretcher!
It would be easy to make these a flush fit, not sure if Gary is doing that on his or not, there was talk of it, until I told him is car would become a she, only she's have smooth edges

Hope that helps!!

George

Thats perfect George mate, just what i was after and thanks for the link to Gary's car, hadnt seen that before!

Nice one buddy.

Bob

GeorgeGTR · 18th June 2008, 11:18 PM

It's starting to take shape now

I will make this quick as I need to go to bed

Engine & box ready to go in, all engine bay is prep'd for the heavy lump

Which leads me onto this photo, a good first polishing session on the engine bay........ Oh yes

Notice the new engine loom exit.

Thanks to these guys, Danny & Laura. The polish crew !!

You will notice in that last photo the front windows are now in and fitted.
Plenty of thought has gone into the door design to save even more weight.

The fit at the top is perfect (better than factory

) These windows will not pop out! I love the look of them with the original top trim, makes them look right!

The magic behind the door.

What it looks like from inside.

Last couple random shots, the prop is now mounted and should all be conected tomorrow if we get some parts.

Thats all folks, see you tomorrow night

Smokey

Andy Hornsby · 19th June 2008, 06:27 AM

You need to be very careful here George...........this car is simply going to be far too go to take on track mate!! Your going to be too worried to give it the beans!!!!!!

GeorgeGTR · 19th June 2008, 06:54 AM

The doors are from Gary @ Jap salon.
