The £600 Cup Track Build

[Borstii]

Which brake ducts are these? Renault Sport or reps?

Thanks for the comments guys. Its a hard one for me but as its off the road i just get no use of it and seems a waste. Ive a possible business opportunity starting next year so this would fund the start ensive:

On the other hand I'm half tempted to get an mot on it, get new seats and get it out and about 😂

I think around £6k mate. I'm around £12k in total and its been used about 3 times since building 😢😂

You should get new seats, a mot and see if you use it at all. If you still don't you've not invested much more. But if you do then you'll start to get value out of it.

Its not a bad shout John. Thing is i know myself if i sell that in a years time ill be on the look out for another!

I'd just like to say this is a fantastic build and a real kick up the arse, to get mine built after crashing my previous.

IMO unless you are desperate for the money I think you should keep, its an amazing machine and a real credit to you.

I can't see something like this loosing money over the long term.

The only downside when you eventually come to sell is wading through the mongs offering you peanuts.

Save the hassle and just keep it! Sell the wife's car instead.

Upadate

Put the car in for an MOT in February and it failed on brake lines corroded at the rear beam. The rear is about the only part ive not overhauled yet. Since then ive purchased a full braided brake line kit with bias valve from Mick at Proline.

Before i fit them im going to whip the beam off and get it powdercoated and replace bushes etc to tidy things up.

Apart from that got the new seat fitted which is great and replaced the exhaust mounts as they were shot. Hoping to get the beam done soon so i can get a MOT and get it out. Pulled it out yesterday for a tinker which was good first time in a while!

Do love a well thought out car
youve set a very high standard and shows that track cars can look like show cars and still be driven hard.

I love the front of the 172/182 with the bumper off. They look so aggessive!

 

[R29TJR]

Are your wings held on with cable ties!

Love this car.

Awesome work, just read this from the beginning - you've got some deep pockets mate!
But you've got a mint track monster to show for it!

Currently sitting in the garage with the rear beam off. Need to get my finger out and get the axle off for painting .

I’ll take the beam off if I get to come for dinner [emoji854][emoji23]

Update... on current state!

Well opened the garage today and remembered I had a car in it! Poor thing still needs the beam refurbished, didn’t realise that was over a year ago .

Still looking pretty good, glad its been dry stored anyway.

I will this year get the beam back on and get it back on 4 wheels then see where we go from there

 

[Michaelfoz]

Get the beam powdered pronto. I’m a hungry boy [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
