Thanks, mate, I think so too.  Really starting to actually look like something eventually you could drive.

Floors are in.  Took my time to set the gaps etc as good as I could before welding.  I think I have said it before but I think that’s the secret to good welds.  Even gap, and both sides level.  Also had to remake the area around the bottom of the A-pillar, that wasn’t even close.  Actually quite a zenny job, just bopping away to some tunes out…[Read more]

Changed my plugs yesterday. Drivers side rear is “interesting”.

Yep, measure twice, cut once

Back onto it today.  Would like to get the wheel housing and drivers floor done this weekend, see how I go.  Got the repair done on the wheel housing.  Used the donor part Cooper kindly gave me.  Was actually in pretty good condition, just had some rust on the bottom so made up a repair, turned out pretty neat.  Then tacked it in place with tek…[Read more]

Not having much luck of late. Couldn’t find the TCI lever kit, but was told the B&M is the same as they come out of the same factory…turns out it fits and lines up every gear but reverse. So back to the drawing board to chase the correct part, which should now land late next week.

Partially devo as i could of taken it for a drive but i cbf…[Read more]

Thanks mate, put a real smile on my dial

Did I hear you say paint?  Colour, scheme?

Just had a chance to take it out for a decent drive at lunchtime (some benefits in Iso).  Prob first good drive since it tried to kill me.  Did a plug change first as I hadn’t done that since the dyno runs etc.  Started great, let it warm up and just beautiful.  Man, I never tire of driving this thing.  Really strong lumpy idle, actually rela…[Read more]

^Thats the new Corvette? I like that!!

Im pretty sure it’s the same size wise. Only difference between them its only 2 ports instead of the 3/4 like a regular setup. So I went with this being neater.
I split the fronts, I’ll soon find out how it goes. Worse cause a proportioning valve can be installed.

Just take a good look at the passenger side where the spare sits. I didn’t and it’s a touch closer to the tyre that the drivers side. Slight love tap with a mallet fixes it though.

Also bled my brakes today. Come up a treat. Couple of weeps, but I’ll that that for the first time I’ve made brake lines for a car.

Also in a quest to find the biggest tire to fit under the ass end, I’ve acquired a set of 255/35, 265/35 & 275/35’s lol. 255’s fit comfortably so I just fitted the 275’s. I rekon they will fit but I won’t Know…[Read more]

Shifter is to suit glide. So the cable bracket doesn’t bolt to the box. And I’m using the glide selector leg.

I’ve literary just picked up a cable bracket from a mate. Fingers crossed I can make it work with the glide selector.

Little bit disappointed today. Pulled the hat off the diff. Doesn’t have the 3.45’s I thought it had. Just a regular 3.08 diff

Any how, I’ll give it some fresh oil and and change the gears when I eventually build the diff.

Also think I’ve sourced the correct brackets for my shifter. I learnt the other day that the linkages under the car didn’t…[Read more]

Half the reason why I just paid someone for a custom loom. But mainly cause I’m shit and hate wiring hahah.

I didn’t do the loom in mine and wish I did. Bugs the shit out of me knowing there is redundant wires in there the guy just taped over. Slow and steady wins the race mate!!

Yeah it is. 4 cats and 3 mufflers will do that.

Soon as I get the right brackets for my shifter, I’ll pull it out the garage and get a proper video of it.
