It's that time again, The buildis going good but it's endless !!

Since Monday 7:30am I have done 60 hours and had 15 hours sleep and it's still not finished

Ok first up, Engine in, we dropped the back end onto standard GTR wheels (look good don't they

) this enabled us to move the car forward to the hoist.

From inside. This gives a good idea just to how wide these arches are.

the wiring loom gets smaller by the day.

this is about finished apart from front wing and lights & cooler pipes.

My mate JJ has been with me every night and has been a massive help, he polished these up tonight.

He even stayed late and helped me to put the rear anti roll bar on, as it's a really big job

The front doors are now fully finished, just need to mount the mirrors which will take 10mins. Rear quarter windows fitted & finished, I will get the rear & front screen in tommorrow and fit the boot. Its starting to take shape now.

Hi George,

Ive been forwarded to this post by a guy in a local car club.

Very impressed with the build up, good luck with completing the car before the year is out (as always with those type's of projects, there is always hundred more things to do than originally thought).

On the build up, look to direct some cooling to the brakes from the front bumber you will be running, anything aiming towards the top of the calipers will be very beneficial in "warm" conditions.

Cheers.

Hello Dan

I have the brake cooling all under control, infact rad, cooler, brakes, box, diffs, engine cooling is all in hand

The project just grew and we went further with it than first planned tbh. The photo's do not do the car & work justice IMO and there is so much more to this build/car than meets the eye! It has been fun to do though just looking forward to getting it out on the track!

Blackburn,
Good luck with your 33, the stripping took bloody ages, from December to march, that includes the new roll cage. It's funny as we are still removing weight now!!

Have a look through the earlier pages, you will see the rims

Yes I have got plans!!

I cant tell from the pictures, do the acrylic windows have frame sliders/support?
or are they fixed in and no roll down? Electric? or manual roll down

I am looking into acrylic windows but I would rather not have to mount frame supports.

what width are they? 3mm, 4? 5?
Sorry for all the questions

Thanks

PS: I love this build, I keep checking back for updates

Bling · 1st July 2008, 08:21 PM

Mitsu · 2nd July 2008, 12:05 PM

nice project mate. wat is is your wheels spec? 18x 11' or 12' ? also wat are the offsets.

thanks

ps keep up the good work

hodgie · 2nd July 2008, 02:33 PM

What an incredible read with some excellent pictures, well done.

GeorgeGTR · 3rd July 2008, 12:21 PM

Cheers guys!!

The windows are not fixed with a frame. They are able to be mounted in the standard door and be electric or wind, so you will have no problem swapping them for standrd glass. www.plastic4performance.co.uk

Wheels are 18x11" tbh I m not sure on the offset as we got these specially made, They do fit perfect now too on the front, it was my mistake!

some more pics

jasper99 · 3rd July 2008, 01:01 PM
