New Track / Rally Car Project

[paulc555]

Hi all

Finally got home in time from work with some daylight left to get some pics of the new project car. Bought the car from Jamie (Hisoob) after lengthy negotiation...(eh bud) last week and got back home with the help of FrazA and a friendly transporter...

Trying to decide now the order in which to carry out the work.....I obviously need to get the harnessess fitted to get the car to Duncan at Hypertech for its MOT and alignment...mechanically the timing belt needs done, the rear box which I got needs fitted and we should be ready to roll.

Ordered some harness mounting plates of ebay so should be able to get those in this weekend...and fortunately with working in paintshops most days, I have access to a nice spanky Devilbiss pressure pot system to spray the interior gloss white.....so thankfully Jamie had carried out most of the mechanical stuff, just leaving me the interior and general servicing to be done....so here is some pics for now...obviously for those that know me wont be going into the technical detail like George (cusco kid) has done...but then I'm quite daft that way....

The aim at the end of it all...a well sorted rally replica that I will insure for very limited road use, and will insure for the odd track day...and just spend the rest of the time looking at it and smiling very broadly...

will keep you all posted of the progress...if your interested...

Enjoy..

yes mate...although autumn / winter isnt the best time to be starting it....most of it will need done at the weekend....as by the time I get home its flippin dark....

but yes looking forward to tinkering...for someone who isnt mechanical though its quite unnerving...will be relying on my fellow sidc folk for help and advice....especially my buds FrazA and TommyTCut.and Brian Rallye6......

ah well will give it a go..

cheers mate

Hi Paul.

sorry I missed you on sunday car looks good. The only problem I can see is that roll cage needs the sammy the chamois treatment.

glad to hear the cage isnt finished i had a friend die in a rallycar and the cage wasnt strong enough so all our cars have extra strong cages now.

perfect track day car tho hope to see you playing at knockhill soon
