Getting a little sick of building it now

It's always the hardest part of a build though, isn't it? Constant welding and fabbing and nothing seems to get closer to being done. The good bit where you start bolting things on to a nice shiny shell doesn't look too far away.
It'll be worth it when you are sat there with an armful of opposite lock on, 8000rpm on the tacho and a big grin on your face

I spent a little of xmas day afternoon in the garage and this morning doing bits


Trial fitted the rear arches and drilled the holes

Also fitted sealed bottom rivnuts for screwing on the carbon heater bubble.

And installed the water collar onto the bubble

And made myself a sill jacking tube kit

[Mikethepanel]

Well, hauled myself to the garage again.



And got both skids welded on and drill holes for the sill jacking points

First of all happy new year to everyone, hope its a prosperous one!

Well i got on with the jacking points today

Still got to brace the fronts to the floor then start on the other side, but not a bad day seeing as I couldn't be RS'd again

Awesome work as usual, are you gonna have this dipped and 'e coated' once complete to get all that fresh metal sealed properly ?

No lee can't afford that, but i'm going to protect it best i can with the best products i can

[alancdavis]

Waxoil and stone chip ,

[13sport]

Defo agree with the wax oil but there's better products about than stone chip. Try one of the rubber spray on sealers mick

[Mikethepanel]

Will have a look at the rubberised guard!
Finished the jacking points and bracing off today





Welding is a bit cack today unfortunately

Quick dress with the grinder and it will be fine!! :-)
