Looking really good John :up: where did you get the carbon for the cage ? Did you get the pad fitting kit from your work ?

Yip that's sort of slipped a little , but only on parts that I know will hold value if I break it eventually.

I have my first trackday book in the car on the 22nd April , its a CSOC session as part of the Super lap Scotland first event at Knockhill . We will have 6 short sessions out on track so ideal to use as a shake down. Before that I need to get the car up for alignment and corner weighting to...

Any advice on what to use to try and clean up the poly windows as they are a bit of a mess after having stickers on them and general scratching.

Today the green shed took its first trip out the garage under its own power. I still need to give it a proper clean and get an alignment done before I can take it on track but it’s getting closer to being useable.

Spent today stealing parts from this. So the car now has AST 5100’s and a roll center kit fitted. bonnet is now painted and fitted aswell, so really just alignment and a sunstrip to finish

The extinguisher has a release pull on the dash pod and the scuttle panel for external release.

Hole free bonnet painted and loosely fitted with Aerocatches. Still to adjust the hinges but looks like it will sit a little high at the back.

Another small part done today but it’s been something that anoyed me on the car since the colour was change. Old New

On my old engine the FD change in the gripper box made a big difference as kept the engine in higher revs , If i go turbo this time it should have the torque lower down to pull standard gearing.

Nope did think of a box but went for AST's and RC kit , as those made a big difference on my old car.

Bit more progress made today. PMS rear roll bar fitted. Brake lines clipped in Battery moved to behind passenger seat to clear up the rear and move weight lower Got the dash finished and wiring wrapped Engine bay hoses clipped up and battery bulkhead connector fitted I also...

Not much progress this week due to “the beast from the east” Did make a bit progress on the turbo engine , by removing the coil pack mount and rotating the turbo outlet. Should ideally make pipe runs short to the cooler. Flexi ducting just used to check clearance.

I’m using this heater I have blanked two of the outlets and ducted the other two into the original feed hole that feeds towards the screen. I got it plumbed and wired today and it seems to move air well but is loud.

Got most of the inside completed today moved the fire ext to the front of the footwell, so just the battery to move and clip in the power cable. Also started a mock up of the turbo in my spare engine , I think with a few small mods the standard inlet should fit with the 225 turbo

A little more progress made today. I removed the heater blower and box ready to fit the little electric blower. Then started to re fit the dash along with pod/ kill switch / gauges. While I had the dash out I gave the flock a spray with suede die as it had started to fade in...

I thought mine were as I ordered hose kit with bulkhead. Seeing a few pics every kit looks to be different. I’ve seen one with bulkhead fitting, some with grommets. Also some with straight or 90’s off the master cylinder. 90’s would make the hose runs neater. I got them fitted yesterday, but...

Looking very good. Where did you make the bulkhead penetration for the brake line looks to be low down from your pics. Also on the rear did you add any extra clips in the arch as my hose sits very close to the tyre.

Checked my hoses today all look correct lengths, did think the were coming with bulkhead fittings rather than rubber grommets

Thanks for the heads up I have found M12-M10 adapters ifhr hose is wrong may be easier than sending it back. With the grey wheels and head light blanks the car should be back to looking something like this

Yip i mind from before when i went to fit a R5 master cylinder to balance out the brake ratio when trying to fit the Porsche calipers that there were two different sized fittings. Im not sure if the full fat MC is different threads from the cup, that some kits have been mixed up ?

Less than ideal as im now going to be working with the engine in the bay, original plan was for them to be fitted before the engine.

Yes Arran they arrived about a week ago , to my address rather than my parents where they were meant to go . I haven't checked them yet as not back in the UK until the end of the week.

I got tins mixed at my local Auto paints a few weeks ago, I painted my FG tailgate with them in the past and the match was perfect. Black , green, yellow... actually looks good together

RAL 6018 Can’t wait to see it built up as it will really stand out. I don’t think 6018 was used on anything in particular , more used as a base to blend from. Looks like a really nice job , mine was a track car £400 2 day turn around job

What shade did you go for Porsche green ?
