Still going.

Once again, it's been a while since i've posted anything on here. Been really busy at work, which is good, but haven't had much time for the build.

Work got cancelled today due to the snow, so i started work on my wheels - another job i've been putting off for a while :P  They're all rubbed down, one primered, one painted just waiting for laquer. Should look good when they're all finished.

Also, recently got some side panels from Andy at Saturn Sports Cars, so that's one of the next jobs to do and i've got a roll bar on its way soon too.

The list does seem to be getting smaller slowley.

Back on track.

A lot's happened since my last post. The reason it's been a while is because I lost my job for 3 weeks until a new site started up.  So the build was on hold until i started back.

Luckily, i've started back work - so the build progress can carry on.

So it was time to give the key a turn for the first time!! (still no fuel tank at this point, so the pipes are balanced into a jerry can)


It's running rough as it needs mapping still, and it sounds as if it's only running on 2 cylinders for some reason.

Anyhow, at least it started!

Today i got the fuel tank in and piped up and finished off a few bits and bobs that have needed doing for a while.

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.
