You must be Matt then..! I'm Ben, was commenting on your Facebook post about tyres!

Absolutely love the wheels, if I didn't have the Sparco's I'd probably buy a set of these..

My god. Great thread!

There’s been a few quid spent here. Those kevlar seats can’t have been cheap for a kick off.

Very nice car indeed. Looking forward to watching this continue.

Massive fan of this build already. Really makes me think I need to get my act together with mine and get a few bits finished off and tidied up.

 

[R27WTF]

Thanks mate seems to be taking forever at the moments so many small jobs left to do and waiting on people and parts is a nightmare.

Doesn’t help I can’t make my mind up on the engine just yet.

Cars booked in for Feb to have the new looms made and all the dash and Ecu sorted etc

Little update pictures don’t do it justice but it’s liquid yellow cage.

Wasn’t the easiest job to do being welded in but looks perfect.

Few more bits to fit but getting there slowly

Not many pics at the moment but hopefully next week it will all be built back up and ready to go.

Bits Iv been doing

Removed all the suspension, subframes etc from the underside and the old brake lines along with the abs.

Iv powder coated and painted everything.

Parts replaced

Full powerflex bushes in black on the rear beam, wishbones and Anti-Roll bar.

New droplinks, anti rotation links,
New front hubs new track rod ends.

Iv replaced most bolts as they were looking worse for wear. I Also took delivery of my ast 5100 coilovers.



Test fitted my wheels on the new discs

And some pics of the stuff in the booth and some parts fitted



Il try to keep this updates over the next few days as it all gets done
