Coming along well. Harness eye bolts are 7/16 UNF for future reference if needed to buy any nuts etc.

Very nice :) Photo of the cone side of the bumper? :D

Ah, wondered if you'd appear on here. How's the 182 treating you? I miss it. Be doing Marham yeah, got my name down so the car needs to be done by then. You fancy it?

Yeeeeeeah, deffo. Note, I'm yet to remove valver coil as per pics.

Spent more hours on it tonight, may aswell crack on while I've got some motivation on the go :) Put the wiring and loom building to one side for tonight and got stuck in with the engine itself. I picked a clutch fork pivot bush/cap up from Volvo on the way home from work which is needed with...

Yeah much better, glad I did it. Realised the difference already. 172 radiator would have given me massive headaches if I didn't cut it out.

f0xy - ЯUR Head Tech. Good posting skills.

Unplug solenoid, see if it affects it.

The engine sat on the floor with the wrapped manifold on? Thats the F4R, with 172 manifold. Always had a standard Valver manifold on the F7P.

Tw*t strip it up, the only way :clown:

Up until last friday I hadn't touched the car since it got home from Cadwell on the 11th of this month. The plan had been to take the car off the road for a while after the 11th and sort the F4R conversion. So Friday evening i started taking the thing to bits in preparation for taking the...

Good work Nathan. How much to paint my Valver? :D

No more than a tenner for 4.

Seats and harnesses crack me up everytime! Cage looks well though, just need the front to it now.

Are they the wheels that were orange? Or 2 sets?

Hate the car, sorry.

You do that, and I'll buy yours. Done :D

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Don't look too bad, only 6.5" wide though rather than 7.

Mk1 <3.

Chop chop, i'll have mine running before you at this rate... it's been 'nearly finished' for months!

Good stuff. They're not Valver hubs f0xy is running, but 172 hubs, along with 172 shafts, wishbones and williams ARB too. A way around it would be to use 172 hubs with the Valver stub axle and bearing pressed into it to allow you to keep the rest of the valver setup but with 172 brakes and...

Looks well. Get your name down for Marham weekend :)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Looks like mine now!

What are the plans for the car over the winter, or have I missed it?

Yep, been written off previously.

Yeah.... not ideal, but I'll not be lifting it solely from there. Standard isn't particularly amazing either.

Cheers x2^ I've not got a proper lifting eye for the gearbox end of the engine either, so made this up to suit. Should do the job

Thanks mate, makes it seem a bit more worthwhile when people appreciate the work gone in :)

Left the inlets to dry overnight but they're still a bit tacky. Couldn't help myself loosely assembling it all though to see how it looks. I'm quite pleased with how the black/silver combo works. Also had another delivery today, set of 172 Samco blue coolant hoses from TimsmeganeR26 on here...

Complete bottom end sat in my garage if you want that cheap?
