Not at all After all, you did build the current car in about a week from a pretty much bare shell so anything is possible.

No pressure there then ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Made a start today, felt a bit slow going as I spent most of the day painting stuff. Painted the whole of the underside of the car and all of the wee brackets and bits and bobs that will be going back under there. Made a steering joint to convert from Classic column to Newage STi Quick rack. Fitted the front subframe and Rack inc. some Gucci bits courtesy of Cusco Kid.

Here are a few pics of the results:

Front Sub Frame and STi Quick Rack

My Undercarrage, from the rear.... Oooh Errr !!

Whiteline Anti Roll Bar and Extended Track Rod End

More Gucci bits still to fit

It's too clean for a race car. Hurry up and get it dirty already.

I'll be down at Kames for the unveilling I hope.

It's looking great though John.

The question is - with a new shiny race car will you be less commited for fear of breaking it?

[Casper Spec D]

Hi mate,Am a newbie to the site and a have just read the thread and a have to you.This is modafiction at a fantastic level.good luck with the project.

[JohnSt]

Hi Dougie, long time no see Bud !! How are the family ?

Cheers Casper, in fairness I'm getting excellent help from some very good guys

Had a productive, though frustrating couple of days. Got the broken Box out of the car with help from Kenny.S (he can't stay away from Scoobies ) started to rebuild the box tonight to find the new front driveshaft oil seals were the wrong ones so had to abandone that plan.

Trimmed down the rear car electrical loom to what it needs to be, and it's now about a third of the weight it was. The dash loom will be much more of a challenge but I expect to see much greater weight saving, so worth it.

Blimey John. Trimming down the looms. You really are going to the last degree in getting the weight of this thing right down. Is there much weight in the wiring?
