The future's bright.

Got the tub and one arch fitted today along with the rear lights.  Also bolted the mirrors onto the scuttle.

The Saturn boys have paid a visit.

Andy and HAndy popped down on Saturday to drop off my rear tub & arches and to have a look at my build.  I got the tub cut to shape and in place yesterday, but my plans of a full day on the roadster failed, as the exhaust on my everyday car decided to snap clean in half at one of the joints on the manifold!

Anyways, managed to catch up today, got the base map and all the sensors calibrated on the ecu, and started to fabricate the exhaust. :D

Waiting on a starter motor arriving in the post and need to sort a fuel tank soon!

Here's some piccies to keep you all happy...

Small update...


Got most of the wiring in place, so made a start on the dash. Not much more to say really, as pics of wires aren't very interesting.

One step closer.


Popped over to saturn this morning to collect my scuttle. Andy also sorted me out with a piece of aluminium to make the bulkhead panel. Managed to get that cut to shape this afternoon and made a start on the wiring.

I've got the wires running from the scuttle to the back of the car and from the scuttle to the front of the car all in place and clipped. Also fastened the relay and fuse holders to the bulkhead panel.

2 Month anniversary.

Well, i got my donor parts delivered 2 months tomorow, and this is how it stands now...

Got the engine fitted today, the brakes are about finished, just waiting to get a couple of fittings. The seat's bolted in, rear transmision is all finished, suspension is all sorted.

Going to make a start on the wiring next.

Pipework's about finished.

Got the brake and fuel pipes plumbed in today. Put that many rivets in, i managed to snap my rivet gun on the last one, my arm feels like it's going to drop off!

Hopefully will be able to get the engine back in tomorow (need to finish shortening the sump first).

Whey! Got some wheels on at last!

The guys at saturn sorted me out with some diff mounting brackets, so i was finally able to get the diff, driveshafts, rear brakes and wheels on.

Quite happy at the pace it's coming together. I also ordered my scuttle from Saturn, which is getting made as we speak. :D
