managed to get almost a full day's work on the engine again today, really happy with how its looking. Decided to go silver for the block (gearbox will be going silver too) as the engine bay is going to be black, also silver should show any potential leaks (god forbid), and then hammered black...

good to see this turned around so quickly. May try and get across to silverstone on saturday also. would be good to catch up with a few faces and also see some racing

So, more progress again, its low but its progress. This covers a few weeks work and is only snippets, but there is only so many pictures of welding or engine blocks with masking tape on you can take... A few weeks back i managed to kidnapped beanie of beaniesport fame, and set him to work on...

thanks chap, think i will be fabricating some brackets for the top dash. unsure on the buttons/switches yet

looking good chap, couple of questions if poss as it looks like you have already gone down the same interior route as i am going. 1. have you added extra mounts to hold the mark 1 dash top? (rather than just using the top 3 screw holes) 2. what does your switches on your control box control? I...

good luck chap

seems like the year for people to return to CS with there old/on-going projects, welcome back, glad its on the way to recovery

well the main one now is to get it finished...ha

great work kenny, although yours is for much different reasons we seem to be in a similar position with progress, good to see your pushing forward, and in great style as per.

progress makes me very happy, prior to this and for quite a while prior to last week I was fed up of the sight of the thing again, no progress in a long time, and being super busy in the near future made it feel like it wasn't going anywhere again. But just seeing this has given me quite a...

So not been on here in a very very long time, just been so busy with work and play that not really had time or interest to post or even look at the site... that kind of reflects the nature of this project also though, nothings really happened at all... until today when i received some pictures...

just thought it was a bit strange someone taking a picture full stop...lol yeah not bad, i am not bothered on the looks, as long as it stays cheap and reliable

So is lesley your missus Chip? and have you moved? (i thought you were down in the west country) I said to han (the gf) it was weird that someone was taking a photo as they went past... Yerp mike didn't want to give me the sh*tbox plate, ha... good knowledge from dan too, i re-transformed the...

knows, hopefully i will be cracking on this year too,

your project sounds very much like mine...lol

That may be a bit soon, but well done for volentering both....ha cheers chap, bit of a roller coaster, but stuck with it and want to get it done, cheers mate, all welcome to the rebuild day.... ha

So the potential rebuild is potentially in motion, The engine and airbox have been dropped off this morning at JC Weldfab (http://www.jcweldfab.co.uk/) to sort the few issues i had with the airbox and its mounting to the engine block, they will have it for approx a month and then i will have it...

A lot of what made it what it was is still there, apart from the interior trimming really, but that is going to be finished to an equally high standard. It will go back together this year. Then you can love it again. Yeah, totally understand mate and appreciate letting me know, i may have...

lol at welcome back, i have never really been away, just not really felt the need to come on here, I am still in MK yeah, When is the meet mate? not sure i am into meets that much anymore but may come along. Why so sad?

Thanks for taking the time to look over this, appreciate the kind words too. Hopefully i can get on the top of it this year, i am working on it, but not really been that active on here

interesting thread... I am just starting to re-look at this and sort a few little niggles out, never had any problems with it apart from the aforementioned above, there is talk about potentially re-creating this also though if there was enough interested.

on that note.... here are some pictures... THIS IS NOT THE GOBSTOPPER (this is a friend of mines build), only a few photos as i am not sure how much should be shown

ah ok, i have heard about them failing through not being fitted correctly but thought this may have happened as a result of something else.... as you say though, expensive fitting them compared to a normal screen

what do you think has caused the heated screen to fail?

i was indeed, i was in the one with the where's wally girl in the red bobble hat

good to see you again james, good work today, and fair play for pushing. as said mate if i can help in any way let me know.
