All build-up is very old,doing it up to semi- race spec in winter 1994/95
Thinking fast, go light!! and no rollcage cos it\'s damn heavy!:D
Only thing\'s missing was painting the engine bay
Nothing special looking car.
Will get more photos of the old things.

How\'s that!, first coat of hammer after heavy cleaning and sanding!

Fuel cell to house the 4 gallon tank/fuel pumps.
Battery box near the blue seat,
All made oot of alloy sheeting from the panel van,Cheap but good stuff!!:Thumbsup!

OOOOOH much better with clean and paint job,

its one of those things you may as well get done as very hard to do with the engine still in there, deffo more manageable as is

Wow what a difference! :cool

I\'m being thick again, is that hammerite your using but in the spray can?

sadgoth · April 03, 2007, 05:11:19 PM

nice fuel cell! I\'m having one made for project FC, all I know is that it\'s a 20l cell so that means more frequent visits to the pumps!

RotorHeid · April 03, 2007, 05:18:54 PM

From the hammerite tin and Spraycan are too messy!!
Sit in the bay and printing with a brush and dreaming away that I\'m an engine with big noise:2Rolleyes

RotorHeid · April 03, 2007, 05:21:43 PM

90 miles between pumps and carry a 20L jerry can.:Thumbsup!

Good Day all,
Got a Rx8\'s box oot of 56regs PZ,look very clean!!
white print dry well and starting to remove the exhaust to make room for the box.
Install old motor to see if the box is fitting in well or and planning where to modifythe body/fab new plates etccccc.
its left about 4" gap between box and the engine when the gearstick is lineup to the port.
No worry about it,going to make some blankets/fab a new plate!!.
