DJRoberts/DannyR Ph1 172 Supercharged Fast Road/Track ****
182, SQ7, Trafic
Got my SBP flocked dash and bits back today, look awesome, although definitely need bottom half done too!
Tomorrow the engine build starts. Everything will be got together on a little list of what I need, whilst another engine is stripped down for some spares.
Got a bit of an oil leak at the moment and is down on power. Possible crack ringland on the piston so its losing a little compression.
Shall get some pics of the dash up once there on PB!

Well after a massive fail of sound deadening the other night this project took a big leap backwards/forwards (not decided yet lol). Sound deadening dropped onto very hot manifold and went up in flames

It went from this at night
To the next afternoon
Got busy on it tonight for couple of hours three of us and now left with basicall only the engine and box in the front half of the car! Some bits came out whole, some came out melted and others were crowbarred and hammered out
Halfway through the evening
End of the night
Bonnet will stay as is for a bit I think

Yea the bonnet does look good, it will be staying for a while like it I'd imagine, although I need some bonnet pins as its a little distorted lol!
Engine doesn't need to come out for the bay to be be sprayed. I's only going black all inside, won't be a concours job but it will be neat covering all bits that need too! Cage maybe welded in tomorrow night too, then out and sprayed. Then the inside sprayed too So a bit of a silver lining to it

Looks like the inside of my car
Prime opportunity to remove all the tar and sound deadening !
Of course, I wouldn't spray over the sound deadening :rasp: It's coming out tomorrow night then getting prep'd for paint!
Why did you leave the bonnet open? Closing the bonnet would have starved the fire of a lot of oxygen. Supper gutting though
Once I'd opened the bonnet to check for a fire, it was small and right down the bottom, there is still air under the car IIRC. Then if I'd of closed it I'd of had to of opened it again when the falmes were big THEN it would of caused the bigger flames to get air and burn me!
c**k TBH

Well after a late start this morning due to a door strut failure on an Aston Martin, I didn't get started until 12!
Got all the sound deadening out, all the steering column and heaters out, the car is now very bare in side. Cage then got mount in the car were it should go ready for the box section to be welded in!
Engine is coming out on Monday and the engine bay pressure washed down so all the burnt crap will come out. Then if I can get a few pennies within the next week sorted then the forged roads will be going into the other engine, and that dropped back in by the end of the month

Dropped the engine and subframe out tonight and started cleaning the engine bay up ready to be rubbed down tomorrow for paint!
Have no pictures as iPhone is being a pain
Got the PAS pump and steering rack out, all in the bin. Also toyed with the idea of running new brake lines front to back and ditching the ABS. I'm in favour of that idea and will be running no ABS.
I'll try get some pics up soon!
