I just want it to progress, my mate is rammed at the moment so it seemed worthwhile for me to try, would of saved me some dollar too.... Oh well

yep blanking plates for the front bulkhead, the welder is a "proper" mig unit, i didn't get any practice on anything first and that may be a big problem, saturday i was doing alright on the right side blank plate but on the left side today it was a proper pain and ended up a mess... just started...

some good advice there... but i think i will leave it for him on this occasion and get some practice on something that is maybe not so cost-worthy and important...

UPDATE: well kind of, I visited the car again today with the thought of welding all the plates in the bulk head..... but now i am home... and a little grumpy. I did start to weld this morning but it soon became apparent that i was massively struggling. I have been re-assured by several people...

cheers for those mate, very handy and kind of you.... downloading and will print off now, will also be checking some other race series / clubs to see / read there rules can i also take this opportunity to massively salute your fab work after trying to weld today.....ffs...lol

Painting it myself is an option as its my mates bodyshop, would be under supervsion though, as for the welding i don't care how bad it looks initially, it will all be getting ground back before paint.... Its all good practice. I really need to get the blue book printed off though to get an idea...

Know what you mean, i think they do look slightly better, but not £100+ better, i do think the ph2 bumper is better looking but i refuse to do the mod under principle.... Lol Good work on it all though, fair play for doing it all yourself

So it sounds like we are building our cars for exactly the same purpose then, have you looked at classes etc? Ie are you building it to a certain class spec? Interesting about the switches etc, i was going to leave this stuff to matt when it went to tdf for the loom/dash stuff

I lol that people will spend £100+ for a spoiler that doesn't look THAT different....

some great pics and write up... i take it they pulled you out the gravel sideways passenger side first, hence the damage? ideally it needs to be in the middle?

some very nice bits in that link, bet thats some monies worth too, the main reason i would n't be ordering them, did you get them all made up custom? Small update (no pictures) Started the day with marking out my extra interior carbon panels, bootlid, false floor and fuel pump cover, the...

Ah the legend and character hasn't gone away

Update looks good, those topmounts look great and very well thought out... This is going to be a hillclimb / sprint car isn't it?

oh my days....

his first video i have properly watched, good vid, and great insight into that world... got to love the Tuthill stuff, he (chris harris) is building a rally car with an acquaintance of mine to compete in i think, unsure as to what etc but sounds like fun, they plan to switch drive/co-drive...

looks like i am learning to WELD tomorrow...... watch this space

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He good update, great that you can get stuck in and improve your mechanics, not so great it happened on location but as others have said good you got something from the day

got a link for the bottle chap?

i didn't own it, there was a period where i was without a car, tucks had DUF stored and was thinking of selling it, he let me borrow and use it in exchange for cleaning it up and sorting it out a bit....

I doubt it was tucks, he hasn't had it for a fair while and rarely used it for town runs when he did...

Lol.... Revs, tom and i both had minter valvers YOJ and SDV, Although i did run DUF for a little while too Brilliant isn't it...

from when i had it.....

what he said..... thats crazy.... what you think of the sunroof? lol

Re: Supercharged Sunflower powder-catting?

car looks great, plans sound better..... enjoy mate, great work... need to get me some VHT Paint

Re: Supercharged Sunflower good work sir....

you have a think though (i was trying to explain this logic to the missus the other day) a badger can get hit and survive... it has some girth, if a pheasant gets hit its pretty much game over.... this means life or death, this also therefore means it has no way of learning, as when it does get...

you can fit 8's front and 9's rear if you really wanted.... and if you get the right offset, (would probably have to go custom) more tyre touching the tarmac = better grip i would of thought.... but i can't imagine it would be THAT much of an advantage

32 squids....fook.... change the allen key for a bolt too..... i can see you rounding that real quick... the cross-member is pretty dam thick

had fun doing this...ffsnake.... first up, not entirely to do with the service but was trying to switch the wheels front to rear... god dame shallow locking wheel nuts and gravel chanel in driveway.... then had loads of fun with the oil filter, the angle of the filter, the tool that didn't fit...
