Featured Replies

Ha not a chance i did want to get it done before UD but i dont want to rush it, Should only be a couple of months now. Get a bonus this month so thats the money side sorted.

Lol yeah no point rushing it man! Sweet that's alright, I got a bonus at Christmas which was meant to finish this but I have no idea where it disappeared too haha!

I know same happened to me except it wasnt a bonus just worked over christmas and was on standby.

Spent Saturday on it, did some jigging around with the welder on the passenger mount :p and fitted the G60 brakes.

Just need to fit dash, roll arches and sent it off to be mapped and some custom boost pipes welded up.....I'm hoping to get rid end of Feb and get it back just before UD but will be tight!

UPDATE:

- G60 Brakes are now fitted

- Modification to the Passenger engine mount has been done

Hopefully going off to PSI in the next week or so to be mapped and sort out the clutch as for some reason it just won't bleed whatever I try!

Absolutely gutted, PSI have now said they can't fit it in until Aug/Sep :(

Although did spend last night on it:

- Fitted the skeleton of the dash

- Took apart the clutch master cylinder and i think its foobarrdd which is why the clutch won't bleed 100% I have the one that came with the gearbox so going to make up some copper piping over weekend and give that a go!

- Final wheel is now built up, will get tyres fitted over weekend

Can't wait to see this in the flesh :)

Pm'd you man!

UPDATE:

- Front wheels went to have the tyres fitted on Friday evening and the tyre fitted dropped one of the wheels and dented the dish, was so annoyed but luckily they have agreed to pay for it to fixed and it's currently in for repair at the moment.

- Brakes all fully fitted and bled

- Tonight will be sorting the clutch too

Will be going off for last few bits and mapping by the weekend and then should have it back within just over a week - hopefully be making it to UD

Good progress Harry! Sucks when other people bugger up your stuff. At least they're paying for it!

Good luck with the clutch problems, will be interested to see photo's once it's done :)
