Epic very nice mate

Thats very nice did you do all the fabrication yourself for the v8? This is so tempting!!

I really would like to do this but havnt got a clue how to go about centralising the block,mounts propshaft ect ect. How much you selling you spare sbc engine for?Is it a 350cu?

the dials are the dogs too! Where are they from?

Awesome Nick, great to see some more pics finally! :bow:

 

Can't help thinking the ripspeed logo lets it down a bit though :scooter:

 

dash is proper cool :thumbup:

Don't mention the ripspeed logo lol not my choice and I've got a nice momo wheel lined up to replace it :D

 

Cheers guys, always nice to have some encouragement :)

 

enzoTT, drop me an email and I'll let you know everything you need to know and what's involved: nick@delazo.com

I love it :tt1:

Cheers buddy :D

 

Baz, I did have a lovely Momo V6 but my bitch of an ex refused to give it back so i'll have to buy a new one. I was looking at these wheels, I think the nero would look better against all the gloss/matt black and red leather (waits for funkySis comment:)):

 

Nero

 

Jet

Same model with cover missing:

Very nice Nick, looking forward to seeing it finished. :cool2:

Looking good Nick:rockon:

 

I looked into those steering wheels for my yella z but was told i needed a special hub kit because of hicas!! i went for a isotto from Luke in the end.

Ah luckily i've removed the hicas system on mine, later on i'll swap to an NA subframe so I don't need a hicas boss on mine :thumbup:

Wow Nick great pics mate and nice to see how your getting on with it, cant get that link to load in work :/ but will be sure to check it out when i can at home

Bantambunny thanks for that i will drop you an email.

Lorenzo i love your wheels what make are they ?sizes?

Looks like an immense build - will sound amazing

Thank you all :D Always nice to have some support, it makes all the hard work worth while :hyper:

 

Good news! I've made £450 from ebay this weekend plus i'm just putting out £300+ on invoices this week plus i still have some bargaining tools to put toward Real Steel when i ring them tomorrow so fingers crossed i'll be making a trip down to uxbridge to pick up and drop off some bits there and come back with everything i need to finish the car :hyper:

 

I'll keep you all updated!

 

Is that a supra spoiler??

 

If i'm honest i haven't got a clue but it's being removed when i get chance and i'll probably go for a slick back or a series 2 spoiler or if i can get my act together the tommy kaira spoiler from my 2+2

Nah go slick back, sell me your tommy kaira spoiler and you'll have MORE money for yours! :rockon:

lol, it's currently sitting on my old silver car (now my dads) so don't think he'd be too happy :rofl:

 

Unfortunately the manager of real steel (Charles) wasn't in today and isn't back till Friday morning so it's going to have to wait till then to do a deal with him over the slightly rare parts I have lying around my garage :)

 

Dubble Humper Fuelly heads from a corvette, a stainless crank and a set of headers so hoping they'll be enough of a lure to part ex against the £900 quid's worth of parts i have lined up to buy in but then that means the car SHOULD be ready to turn over for the first time by the end of the first week of june :hyper:
