How much paint did you get through on a single garage?
I've bought 5l, see if that's enough for a few coats. Cheap as too, 17.50 for the paint and brush.
Mine lives here when it breaks (so a lot atm)
Rest of the time its here, in a council garage over from my house...
Tempted to paint the walls white to brighten it up a bit. The garages above have motivated me to get some paint.
Has a carpeted floor too, lives the life of luxury, council style.
The 3/8 brake unions didnt quite work properly with the adaptors for the bias valve, I could only get them in a few threads, obviously once theres a double flared brake line in there i doubt I'd get any in.
So did a bit of a bodge, but I dont see why it wouldnt work? lol
Took the head off...
Weekly update
Dash is at Qualplast for flocking, hopefully be back with me next week.
All bits tacked on the beam
PMS bushes welded in
I was hoping to tig the lot but with the primer on the inside of everything kept blowing back so I just migged it all.
Damn sight quicker atleast...
Ages back I bought the brake cooling ducts off ebay that go into the foglight holes.
As you may remember, I was far from impressed by the quality, the strength, the design, how they fitted, the finish.
I lived with them as tbf they did the job they needed to do even though they were a right pain...
Started doing some of the beam bits at work
cut all the 2mm steel sections out
Bent up
1st bits fettled to fit
Figured out what I needed for making all the new brake lines, spent a small fortune and this arrived, along with some new aluminium heat shield
Really not looking forward...
@Coops Mk1 sorted me with an injector to replace the faulty one.
It fell apart when I removed it..
Also sorted me out the missinf bolt from my lower inlet, legend.
Removed the standard Master Cylinder, side by side with the 4 port cup master
Cleaned up the cup master and the reservoir...
A bit slow on the update but finally found the time.
Finally gotten rid of this vile bulkhead heast shield thing
ABS pump coming out
Pump and all lines out
Couldnt make the PMS strut brace work with the BC top mounts without a load of faffing around so decided to do away with the...
Luckily now I no longer have to find out 😂
Tbf I've done engine swaps and all sorts on the road outside the house, people normally more interested than annoyed.
Problem with anything like that, it's far too expensive for personal use when all you need is like 2 cars space. Most units around...
Removed the bushes and all brackets from the new beam
Started some CAD for my own strengthening setup
Got damaged beam off
It's bent the stub axle and the part it bolts onto.
Cant really see but heres a pic anyway
plenty more to come over the next few weeks :cool:
Small update...
GOT UNIT SPACE!
Some more bits arrived
Fitted inlets back on to drive it to the unit but I went and broke an inector plug so its only running on 3
Luckily the chap whos unit im in, has a trailer...
Slow progress on this
Still not got unit space so hyping myself up to get all this s**t sorted outside the house on the roadside :ROFLMAO:
Also moved house in Dec so had that to deal with.
However, I've been slowly collecting parts.
I now have epas collum and and controller, but annoyingly...
Missed this, yeah was pretty bad.
Congratulations mate
I'm skipping it this year too I think, tempted to do a Spa day though as I have a verry crossing to use and its far lower risk at Spa.
May visit the ring after and do a couple of slow TF laps though.
Tempted to hire the GT3RS from Dales...
Hope its a pre christmas shipping.
Sent it to my work as we're in the middle of moving, Don't know where I'll be living when they get sent out.
But also, will be nobody at work for 2 weeks over christmas to accept deliveries.

Got a rear beam I would like to check isnt bent befoe I go putting bearings in and strenghening it etc.
I was told somewhere on here, there are specs to measure, but I cannot find them, I dont really know what I'm searching for.
Any help from anyone who may have seen them and or knows what to...
Nightmare
I'm staying in bed next time It's wet on a trackday there :ROFLMAO:
Really need to get more experience in the wet, was literally the 1st time I've driven it in those conditions on track.
Good to meet you though man, you heading back next year? I'm already excited to get back, despite...
So, Last weekend I inspected the damage a bit closer
It looks to have just bent the beam mounts and pushed the bush sleeve out, just kinda shunted everything across.
handbrake feels like its kinda stiff/sticking on a bit, maybe just paranoid though.
Front, I cant see any damage, nothing looks...
