Custom made adjustable T45, S515 TCAs to suit the OEM style caster block. These can be swapped out if ever I decide to go with a WRC type caster block.

Married? No different at all mate. Ive got a ring, a wife and an empty bank balance lol Shes mint, and if she wasnt, i wouldnt have married her :D

Cheers chaps, mucho appreciated.

Well I've been pretty busy lately as I tied the knot with my lovely lady last week. Meanwhile the other love of my life has been resting up. She's looking brutal even with nothing attached to her.

So today, the other rear qtr fell off.

Undecided yet. Building it as a road legal toy that I can take to do whatever in.

Well today she finally got a rear qtr panel stitched on. Looks so much better to start looking a bit more like a car again. The panels are bang on the OEM panel gaps which unfortunately shows up how poor the bumper fits. This will be adjusted so it's perfect, rally boys don't care for panel...

Lookout for the latest copy of Banzai magazine. Hits the shelves on Thursday 20th August. Feature & photos credited to Steve Hall Photography.

We don't... But I do ;)

NSR inner and outer tub/turret complete. She's all ready for the qtr panel to go on this week. These are going to look beautiful once painted.

Have black and you don't go back? Apparently? :D

Cheers dude. More forming of the rear door jam and its return. Here you can see how much of the rear wheel well comes into the door aperture again. Also how much the jam has come out to meet the wider track. Also more fettling of the rear qtr panel. The rear qtrs aren't far away from going on...

Most of the NSR tub is now complete on its basic layout. Looks superb and I'm really pleased with Daves work.

Last pics for this week. NSR tub almost done. Great to see the car taking shape. Daves doing an amazing job. :)

Cost is what it is. My daily is a Mini JCW GP.

In reality it would have never sold and I wouldn't have let it go. It will never be sold.

No mate not Dave Coe

Done when it's done Rob. Won't be this year. The NSR tub and turret taking shape today. Here you really start to see how much wider the WRC flares are than the OEM body. You can also see just how much the wheel wells now intrude into the rear door apertures. The arches are absolutely...

Cheers boys. This is how yesterday's antics finished. You really start to get an idea of just how much is cut out of the rear tubs on a WRC car. The arch wells are huge. Rear flare is still in rough unfinished state and the bumper is a rough GRP mockup. Parts laid up to get an idea of the...

Tubs & turrets in. Dave... Step away from the bloody grinder!!

It is built on jigs mate. However they're not photographed. ;) You wanna see the liquid gold that I piss too! :D

Almost wearing a pair of turrets now.

Yes the cage will pick up on the turrets but the biggest advantage as well as wheel clearance is the huge change in chassis geometry and increase in caster.

First tub and turret complete in steel.

Not sure yet dude. Unless I can get some WRC Sachs dampers I will use the KWs

Dave cracked on with the start of the tubs and turrets today. So pleased with how it's progressing.

Today's sillyness. Here you can see just how much material gets removed to build WRC front tubs and turrets. The offside shows just how little of the OEM piece is retained. New pieces placed in that accept the WRC oil cooler setup. Surface rust comes as standard. :D

Now with added ventilation. #BecauseWRC :D

Go big or go home eh lads. ;)

Nowhere near finished but the 1st door gets some epoxy and high build primer on it. Before anyone asks. It's not supposed to be smoothed to the door as that's how the S7/8 cars were. Only the S11 onwards had a blended door. Door now in battleship grey epoxy. Bloody love the flat grey...
