It will be good to see this taking shape over the next few weeks and months. Do you have all of the parts that you need for the project or are you still gathering the equipment that you need?

[Bart]

we have got all the bits that need to get balanced and hopefully that be done in a week or two.
the next real big thing to buy is the turbo but pablo has had a plan for that.

bit we still need apart from turbo are
1. full engine gasket set
2. injectors
3. induction cone
4. gearbox and rear prop but gordon has those


its so good to be finally getting some real progresive work done on the car now. im sure ive missed something off the list and paul will add.
im hoping to contact my cousin in a month to get graphics ordered so can be done for july ready to fit

the seats and harnesses we have upto date and the roll bar we have is going back in after its had a rubdown and a repaint.

owe we have to get a new fire extinguisher as well cuz that regulation has changed as well.

Love it, love it, love it. Inspirational DIY.

I'd be able to strip it out like that, but would then think OH BUGGER..........

[Bart]

its been a mixed day today not much really has gone well cuz of my drill packed up and the weather was crap kept raining on and off during the day.
started day off with a working drill wire brudhing the boot area down and i managed to get 805 done before it started smoking then finished the last bit off with sand paper then paul painted it.
then moved on to the back seat area and using sand paper again which was really annoying me cuz it was slow and getting thru a load of it so out came the grinder to sort it:sifone:

afterwards we painted that area as well. all the floor is now painted but sorry due to weather didnt get chance to take any pics.

After all of these with power tools and stripping cars, I had never considered grinding the sound deadening material off. Genius!!

New trainers bud? Very pimp. A bit of gold there to match your wheels

Some nice progress mate. At least with Pablo and you both bouncing ideas off of one another, you should make sure that nothing gets forgotten. (Famous last words)

How's Gordon getting on with the engine? What's the plans for management, turbos, displacement etc?

[Bart]
