Taffy were you wondering who the black X5 was flashing you at portsoy the other day?

Good work, I did my bumper bar a couple months back, some pics in my thread, Type R is the title, maybe on page 2

Rich

cheers rich. nice to meet you the day and put a face to a name lol. thats some beast you have there now, awsome looking motor. and looked even better when i passed you in buckie town.

I'll be working nights for the fraserburgh car show but could pop down for a look in the afternoon

Looks very clean min, certinaly got plenty attention today at the car show

Rich

Good to catch up with you guys again and to meet taffy for first time.

Had a good day and there was a big turnout of different cars of all ages.

Look forward to more MAD scoobies meets

Rich

Love the look of this blobeye

Rich

Enjoy the fling folks, make sure and get plenty pics and vids

Rich

I've kinda lost touch with who is who on here.

Blobeye will be finished this year. It's a track toy from there on.

I look forward to seeing it in action

Cheers rich.

Have I met you at crail before?

Yes you did, I remember talking to you at one point near the registration office.

Whats the latest with your blobeye, or dare I ask?

Thanks Peter

Davey thats the plan, chop a wee bit now and then lol

Nice looking hawk Peter

Rich

Dave - I'll keep everyone posted about the next AutoSolo

Arch - I will eventually go for fibreglass doors but not just yet so just doing what I can with what I have. Not looking forward to tackling the passanger door but glad I dont have 4 to do lol

Rich

Had some fun in the car today and went to an AutoSolo organised by 63 Car Club, Elgin.

www.63carclub.com

Only found out about it yesterday and glad i did coz I went and came first

Heres a wee vid I put together, I would have had more footage if the go pro didnt run out of battery, thought it was fully charged yesterday but obviously not.

Today was a first for 63 car club and it was a success, there will be more organised so I hope some of you are willing to try it too.

Rich

Paypal is probably the best option, sent as a gift, thats what i would use

Man Up and tell the good lady that you wont be selling the scooby. Look for other ways to save money as the car is more than just a car, its a hobby

Rich

Looking good mate. What about carbon boot lid?

Might be a possibility in the future paul, i'd change the rear 3 windows to plastic lightweight jobbies before boot lid as that would save me more weight for same money. All in good time

Looks better than the standard classic pedals

Good work, every little helps. You joining the fling next weekend?

Cheers lewis, Unfortunately no as I'll be working

Wee update of what Ive been up to this week......

From this:

A lot of swear words in the middle....

To this:

Removed this:

I bought a Q-Max punch for cutting the holes and I have removed as much for now from the drivers door so I still have use of the electric windows.

The crash bar was a complete ballache but thanks to a thread I read on 22b, ARCH had gave advice to someone else on how to remove the bar so I did just that. Thank You Arch if you read this

Anyway to remove bar, cut at the brackets at each side of the bar then use a wire to break through the glue stuff holding the bar to the door skin. I also used a scalpel to aid this. I broke two bits on my dremel, borrowed one form Westra (Cheers Mark), 3 metal cutting discs, scraped knuckles and I then had to cut the bar in half to remove it from my door.

Heres a pic of one of the cuts with the dremel:

I havnt weighed what I have removed yet and I have the other door still to do. My plan is to get the car as light as possible so trimming excess weight here and there is what I have to do.

Couple of pics after my wee run:

All pics taken on phone so not best quality but I know how you all like a few pics anyway

Rich

Bitz Garage in Nairn will do a discount for SIDC members for anyone in that area reading this

Welcome to the club, wont be long before your modifying it

Loving the P1, cracking picture

Good write up there, I knew you sold your trackcar to Grant but didnt know about your next project, keep the updates coming

Rich

Cracking job on the arches and bumper bar there Rich. Wanna do mine now?

What engine spec are you running? Last I remember was speaking to flash (iain) gordon yonks ago and he reckoned about 350?

Same spec as before, TD05 20G but I'm looking to get that refreshed at some point.

Bumper bar was an easy enough job, I bought replacement plastic clips/screws because you break some of them taking them out. I have access to a blaster so done that then primed and painted it with spray cans, lookin like new again
