You must be starting to get down the to do list…

Lol, thats funny IJ, I have done exactly the same thing.  Or another one I have been guilt off is buying a replacement tool as I have “lost” the old one.  When it arrives I think, where shall put it?  Sure enough when I pick a nice safe spot, what is there already, yep the same bloody tool that I couldn’t find. Dohh

Another fun day today.  Thought it was about time got I my sanding vibe going.  So spent the day getting all around the windscreen nice inside and out.  Just sort of did it one straight section at a time.  Used the welder to plug anything I hadn’t filled completely.  Then progressively sanded all the welds smooth.  Super happy with how it’s all t…[Read more]

Not a lot of BMW left…

This thing is really coming along nice.  The Binky boys add weight with brackets, you take it away with speed holes

Wow, nice. How does it drive?

I assume Cav was just taking the piss!  Easy to get to and troubleshoot in between races is the go on a motorsport car. Even with the kart you start off pretty but pretty soon it evolves into something easy to access, remove and refit when it gets busy in the pits.

Neat as usual IJ, looking great.

Lol, yea actually now I have sussed out the right length extension, and using a uni joint its “easier” but still a bit like gynaecology.

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]

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!!
