Some of you may know I have an FB page documenting my progress, but since a few don't have/want FB, I'm going to start uploading pics here too as I get time.

 

As I've said before, not competing this year, time is being focussed on family and home projects, both of which I largely ignored last year! I also enjoy modifying and developing the car as much as driving it, so can tinker away at it through the year, so don't expect fast progress.

 

Open for discussion, criticism etc :)

Figuring out new brake lines

Progress!

That is one mean looking front end!! Great job!!:bow::bow:

Is that a chjn splitter! It's massive!

Lol, it was a sheet I used as a dummy splitter and to make sure the base of the bumper was flat. In the garage making the real splitter now

Bloody hell that's wide! Amazing effort that must have taken so many man hours. How big are the wheels you're planning to run?

I run a 265 at the front, may go wider to a 295 once I get some testing time. This was done to increase track width, a 295 up front is possible with stock arches with some care taken around offsets

So is your slam panel removable?

 

Is the mould so you can make another if that gets damaged?

The bumper and wings were made of expanding foam and a layer of filler, was only ever intended to make a mould out of it, couldn't be used as a practical item.

 

Slam panel is in the bin

Pushing ahead

Engine bay oil lines made and fitted

dry sump mandrel setup adjusted and fitted

calipers massaged to fit

Coolant line done

intercooler and piping fitted

sensors and Efi harness fitted

In car electrics fitted

 

Lots of customisation and fabbing so slow progress but getting there!

Piiiiiiics!

Not got many! Too busy getting stuff done

 

IC piping

 

Sump

 

And back at home, mould all cleaned up, getting ready to make the cf part

it runs, huge thanks to Jimmer and his contacts for fixing everything that needed doing quickly

That's the intention, though a lot to do before that

Great thread jaffa and what a great Z :thumbup1: When do you think it will be finished?

Will it be registered as a kit car?

I hadn't considered that, was just going to unSorn it at some stage

 

Gaz - finished is a very subjective term, still hoping to be at TOTB
