nice progress dude

Grant Monkhouse · February 24, 2014, 12:55:13 PM

Thanks guys. I can\'t wait to get this thing fired up for the first time. And I can\'t belive how naive I was to not think to shorten the rad myself!!

There is lots to do:( the engine might be running by RS11 but probably not finished

If it is finished by RS11 then you can count on it being there:D

Ahh... :/ Well, IÂ´ll hope you get her finished. Looking forward to see her.

Btw, would you be able to bring it on trailer?

RS11 would be a good motivational date! 6 months away. Sooner its finished the quicker you can start enjoying it!

I have considered bringing it on a trailer previously but I want to be able to drive to places in it and enjoy it on the drive there. I\'m always nervous with my own car on a trailer.

Plus it\'s a road going drag car, not no trailer queen:)

Yeh it would motivate me but if I didn\'t get it done I would be disappointed. We shall see.

Getting the engine running is the best kind of motivation to finish

I\'m looking forward to seeing this at Rotorstock. It is my target date for my project too!

Grant Monkhouse · February 25, 2014, 08:49:25 PM

If it\'s done and road worthy etc then it will be there setting off every bodies car alarms:evillaugh

It might not be finished too the standard but if it\'s road legal then I will be using it:)

Iv already had thoughts of re wiring the looks in the car, they\'re a mess and you can see them, I want them hidden!! If possible

Top stuff , nearly there now . :cool

Grant Monkhouse · March 01, 2014, 02:21:32 PM

It\'s going to be a lot closer after today\'s work:-)

Grant Monkhouse · March 02, 2014, 02:34:05 PM

Yesterday, progress was made.

Some of the welds look crap but they will be tidied up, I\'m not
Looking for welding awards, I\'m looking for a sealed boost pipe!

My dad practicing in the first pic as he hasn\'t done and TIG for a long time.

Then our friend turned up who is a welder fabricator tutor and wanted a go at welding aluminium as he never gets to do it. All I can say is he\'s flipping awesome!! He filled those big gaps from my poor cutting easy peasy. Lol

Grant Monkhouse · March 02, 2014, 02:38:01 PM

Getting the welder again next weekend so should have all the boost pipes done and the rad pipes!! I want the bare minimum of silicone joiners on my pipes so the 2 in the rad pipes will be gone.

Engine will be coming out so I can do the sump as need too mark out the holes etc.
