Okey dokey,
Heres just a few shots from my phone..
On the ramps in a good state of dismemberment already...
...you can see the front wings have been removed ready for repair....
...as has the front splitter - in fact anyone who used to think the car was orange in its original paint scheme before last season can certainly see just how much more vivd the new colour is from the bit missed off from where the splitter was bonded on before !!!
This gives an idea of just how much extra track (and how low offset wheels - these are 8.5J Zero offset !!) you can run with flared wheelarches !!!
Engine is out now, which will allow better tidying up of the engine bay...
You can also see the downsides to having such a low car when you see the amount of damage it collects on the chassis rails...
Interior is completely out and the rollcage is gone ready for the new one !!
Monday I finished work at 9.30 and got home at 10.40, tuesday I finished at 6.30 but got home at 8.45 but today we finished at 3.00 and managed to get down to GBH for 4.30 and helped out while the guys finished a couple of customers cars, then at 5.30 we were allowed to get playing with the Orange !!! Dan took the door cards, speakers and other bits off, and set about tracing a couple of wires for me....
I decided to get the DeWalt out for some fun !!!!
Then Geoff tempted me with the air hacksaw and I was in heaven !!!!!
Yes !!! That did used to be my inner quarter panel, which is now flush with the wheelarch and almost level with the window line !!! To put it in perspective - anything in the rear of the car that is now silver means something has been removed as I spray painted the whole interior matt black for last season !! Dan also made a start on some sound deadening that was missed last time, and sound deadening thats INSIDE the rear quarters you wouldnt normally get too
All this naughtiness and pent up aggression has basically allowed me to remove over 10kgs in 3 hours work !!! Theres still the innards of the doors, and a solution to find for the windows so I can remove all the motors etc and the drivers side and rear of the quarters to do , plus the boot floor is going allong with the last remnants of the boot locking and support. Then when it comes back from the rollcage man it will get the inside of the boot hatch cut out as well as some other bits !!!
Woooohooo !!!
