Liking that fella, be really nice when painted

[damien]

like the new arches brendan really give the car a wide stance will ya still b able to stay with the 15 inch wheels?

[seanmcc]

New arches looks great Brendan,cant wait to see it painted

[tibbs]

The new arches look the business Brendan They'll look well with some rubber tucked up into them

[docscars]

Haters? All I said was it wasn't the same, thats not negative, it's just a fact. Never said it was shit. It lookes well before, it looks well now. In fact, I always preferred standard tarmac arches over McRae ones, so hey **** you too :winka:

my o my Brendan me think you ruffeled a few feathers

by the way arches look good

[Donegal Rally]

Feathers needed to be Ruffeled indeed, Prity Foul

my o my Brendan me think you ruffeled a few feathers

Correct Doc had to be Clarified,

Feathers needed to be Ruffeled indeed, Prity Foul.

One should think and read frist before , speaking and passing comment.

But they have said the opposite twice to what they said orginally.

Not Mcrea Replic cause my Arches with no top lip.Different to Mc Reas

Now they dont like the ones that Mcrea had and I put on. Now my old arches look better.

You will never be right even when you do what they like.

Confused Person, Dosent know what he said or what he likes.

O well . I build what I like . see what the Majority thinks.

Its good to have an opinion but not to have to different ones on the same thing . Is impossible

Cheers Doc

Looks like you're having lots of fun B.
Cars coming on well, why so long in the prep, have you only one sheet of sandpaper and don't want to wear it out?

[Chunkster]

Hey B!!

Loving EVERYTHING about this car and keeping an eye on this thread!!!

Can't wait till it's finished!!

Just one question:

How the hell are ya gonna fill those front arches full of wheel??? They're MASSIVE!!

Are ya going to go with the same wheels that Colin had on his (the white ones)?
Are they Compomotives on Colins car? I can't seem to find the wheels with the right offset

Keep going B! It'll be finished before ya know it!!!

Go Brendan! Car looking good.

The colin mcrae car originally had a 2.4 millington series 1 engine, but colin only did a few tests with it.

The engine was then changed for a 2.5 millington series 1.

There were two 2.4 mcrae spec engines built at the same time, one is back for a rebuild at the moment, would be a nice touch if you could put the original engine in her, if the owner would sell it.

Keep up the good work, when is it going to paint?

Wayne
Would be good, a nice touch to have the orgina 2.4 Series one.
Would interested to see how much he would take to sell.

But I Really would love a 2.5 Diamond.

Have seen one of the 2.5 engines that was due for Mc Reas R4 cars, it had Colin mc Rea and R4 stamped on Head, that was sold to Ireland and now in a Brand new Mk2 not yet out.

Wayne Keep me informed. Would be interested.

Push Rod,

Depend s how many carrots it cost. Bad Winer not many carrott, lots died,hard to find many carrots in the Rally world now. Lol.

We also have a series two diamond 2.5 that colin used in his r4, and was being tested on the thursday before his accident.

I was in the car with him on the thursday and it goes well, but i have a feeling roy may hang on to the engine, possibly the last competition engine colin used?

The 2.4 isn't for sale, sorry if i got your hopes up, but we could do you a nice 2.5 DS1 if thats what you want.

Keep saving them pennies.

[Donegal Rally]

There Will be a 2.5 S1 0r S2 Diamond in my MK2 For sure

Wayne,

Dont moth Ball the Idea of 2.5 Ds1 or 2.5 ds2 In my car completely.
When I say Ill done something IT GET DONE.
So there will diffentilly will be a 2.5 Diamond ultimately under the bonnet of colin McRea MK2 -Series 2, I have got this far and Ill get the 2.5 Diamond.

But a you got my hopes up alright, a 2.4 of Mc reas would be good for starters.
You dangled a very temping carrot.

But maybe an other 2.4 Would do in mean time. Keep an Eye out for me please.

All in Good time. The time will come.

And then the poor little Mk2 will suffer, alot of body repairs.

Brendan
