Great shout. thank you and your in Milton Keynes. Possible to pick some up from you? Either that or I order some and waste a s**t load of them which seems pointless

UPDATE: As mentioned with my posts yesterday about frustratingly not being able to proceed this was playing on my mind. Basically I did not want to be holding up the fabricator or painter. I was meant to be meeting with the fabricator today however this got cancelled which as put my mind at rest...

CMC stopped doing the doors and tailgate. These are from CCF and are quite different I believe. They seem stronger in some areas but tbh really not sure on the window fitting (but can for sure see how this makes the door stronger). I got the mrk2 cup racer scoop from CMC. I don’t think it is on...

Hiya Russ, Do you have any details on how you fitted the spoiler? Would be much appreciated. Cheers Neil

UPDATE: Progress has been a little slow over the festive period with various family gigs but a few little bits have been done. I would have liked to have done more but I have found I don't have the correct tools or it has been way too cold (like today). At the tail end of last week my last...

I used black silicone sealant, seemed to do the job well.

They will be coming thick and fast. We have already talked... its going to be a while until we do again. It feels so good....

The night before moving the shell I needed to move everything out from underneath the car, I also wanted to move anything that was too close. It was all stack at one end of the garage allowing lots of movement around the shell. The following morning nice and early I was joined by @BIGASH and a...

UPDATE: Quite a large update spanning a fair bit of time. As previously mentioned a date was agreed for fabrication and with looming closer there were a few more jobs I could do (funnily I had never even thought about these before). After checking around various threads I noticed I could lose a...

@Tomotek can I just check, were you not concerned about the possibility of rounding the heads on the cap head bolts?

Thank you for this mate, am looking into re-building all the running gear over the next month so this will come in very helpful. Cheers Neil

I am pretty sure I have most of what i need tbh as I have not chucked anything away. I think I am probably just panicking a bit. I will be assembling the running gear whilst the shell is away, this will probably give me a chance to check what I will need and what I don't, I will then potentially...

He has been messaged, ha

HELP NEEDED. With the rebuild of the car happening shortly I am thinking about replacing a lot of the Nuts/bolts etc etc. Is anyone aware of a comprehensive list of what I would need throughout the car? Car is a phase 1 172

HELP NEEDED. For the few people that read this thread I am asking for the following help/knowledge. With the rebuild of the car happening shortly I am thinking about replacing a lot of the Nuts/bolts etc etc. Is anyone aware of a comprehensive list of what I would need throughout the car?

Lets see how quick you turn it around... Mr Fox is indeed (from what I gather) a bit of a fountain of knowledge, I need to tempt some of my friends to get involved as they are both indeed very knowledgable - I will see what I can do.. that will help with speed of re-assembly

You have probably done it the correct way - ie not gone OTT on the prep, hence having the time and being able to afford a second go at it... ha.. perhaps I should consider scrapping this idea again Cheers. Not decided on the rear exhaust manufacturer yet but expect it will be a custom job as I...

Great work Cameron.

UPDATE: With a date agreed for the car to go into fabrication I needed to get things sorted. I am unsure if/how much time I will have to sort things between fab and paint, such as the bonnets aero catches, the roof scoop and the composite door and boot panels, I want to minimise drilling holes...

Looks lovely mate (making me reconsider colour choice) ha. How did you attached the door cards?

Hi both, please take it as a nod of appreciation to your colours... Not sure on that Jazz blue tbh @neil a and think I have gone off the light blue, The grey does look smart @Alex__ however I kind of feel that if I am spending a fair bit of money getting it painted I want to see quite a...

You're still around? hi.... Grey is probably out as it is a metallic colour,

Great and interesting story to this car. Just referenced the colour in my build thread.

Well the Nescafe stickers and gold alloys would never happen, ha, and now with that being metallic its 100% not an option. I think I have decided though, even though I seem to have gone up in the amount of choices - but this is my shortlist. They are not original and I do not want to copy...

Green and yellow works....

nah thanks.... ha Just found these 2 images, I must admit I think they are the front-running colours, along with white still

Was only commenting on this on facebook yesterday, Storm grey on phase 2

Dark purple - would be ballsy, I have thought about the Petrol blue (but I think that is metallic) Anthracite - is metallic so I won't be going down that route Focus RS grey - is very much like Audi Nardo grey and I am really not keen on that/has been done to death Acid yellow - won't work...

Silver with the yellow and black looked lovely before I dismantled the car. as for green and yellow...

Exactly. I am tempted with RB, or a lighter blue (like sky or baby blue), then have thought of a dark purple being a little more brave. Dark green has also come into my head, even White appeals a fair bit... With regards to grey/silver - if I am paying £2k+ for a paint job I kind of want a...
