Engine's sort of in place

Had a full afternoon on the build today, but didn't seem to get much done for some reason :(

Anyways, the engine is in position, with the gearbox mount bolted in and i made up an engine mount on the exhaust side.

I was hoping to have it all mounted and finished today, but things happened a little slower than i'd hoped. Ah well, at least its a bank holiday tomorow :D

A little update.

Managed to get the paint off the nose cone, luckily, so it's now packaged back up out the way.

Also recieved a nice new set of gaz fully adjustable coilovers for less than they normally are, so fitted them yesterday.

Next up, diff and brakes to sort, then engine trial fitting time.

It's starting to look like a car now. :D

I've bolted the drivers side wishbones and hubs on and balanced the nose cone in place to figure out radiator mounts.

Looks great, i'm very pleased with the results.

Somehow managed to get some wet paint on the bubble wrap that protects the nose and it's got some on the front. I'm hoping i'll be able to polish it off when it dries :|

Just a small update to show how things are progressing. The drivers seat runner is finished and welded in, the last of the chassis plates have been welded on, the chassis has been fully painted and the driver's floor finished.

Finally started again...

It's been a while since i've posted as the project's been on hold as i had no electric. Finally got the generator back the other day, and it seems to be working fine. So i can hopefully now make some more progress.

Yesterday i got the rear upper wishbones made up and this evening fabricated the driver's seat runners and welded them in the chassis.

Not long now and hopefully it'll be on it's wheels.

No pictures today. :(

A day off from work and a day off from welding.

Got a day off work today, but the genny's still in for repair. So i decided to put a few bits together that i've been buying over the last few weeks :D

Throttle bodies...

(the standard trumpets have 2 smaller (i'll be getting them all the same size)

Engine hoist...

Generator's playing up again :(

Once again, my generator's decided to cause me problems. It just dies every time it's under heavy load (welder).

I've dropped it off at a local machinary place, who hopefully can fix it tomorow, fingers crossed.
