Looks fecking mint this project, can't believe I've not seen this thread before! Love the colour, red wheels would look awesome on it.

sorted all earth problems we've had since respray. Turns out id bolted an earth to an alloy mount... tit!

well you get the idea.. we had a good chat over a bad coffee from the vending machine and discussed the next stage of the car which is the cage... and what the colour code should be...


but we have got everything out ready for cage fitting. will update more then.


car drives now anyway.. gave her a quick rip about in the industrial estate as i missed her power :)


we have left the loom in, this will be removed for painting..


thats it for now folks.
 
Yep I've had lots of fun just building the car so far lol

Yes will be painting the Interior after the cage is fitted :-)

Just trying to decide on colour scheme?!
 
Ok sabelt seat was refunded as it was taking too long :-( so more cash to spunk on shell

After bleeding my 4 pots thought I better just check level of fluid.

Wait a minute I don't remember the reservoir being that close to the engine

dont think the red wheels suit it mate! i reckon anthracite or some other dark grey wheels will look alot better, possibly with polished lip

Quite liking the red. Was gonna do black wheels but thought it may look bland...but I think the caPsicum red wheels along with the cage the same should look ok....
