Popular Post Raizer Posted January 8, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2017 Nicks managed to paint the inside and underneath of the car. A huge amount of work has gone into seam welding/strengthening and tidying up the shell before this stage. Most of the panel work on the car has been completed also, doors and guards will be going to panelbeater in the next week or two to get tidied up and sprayed professionally to make sure its the best quality finish we can afford. Like a brand new car Twin batteries in the rear seat this time. Previously had single battery in boot but was a bit of a pain in the arse and would like to run 2 batteries if we end up with charging issues etc. Strut tops have been strengthed so we can do some mad jumps So I've been between jobs for a few days so spent a bit of time in palmy helping Nick out assembling and cleaning stuff. Everything is being cleaned, repainted and repaired before being installed. Time consuming but will be worth it in the end. Got the car rolling. Subframes/suspension and diff have all been sanded back and repainted with CV black which should wear pretty well with the stones. They look amazing (picture doesn't do them justice) Mounted fuel pump (Nick was cringing while I drilled holes in the brand new paint). Spent heaps of time cleaning fuel and brake lines then covering with protective rubber/plastic tube to protect them from the stones. Foot plates re-installed. Also cleaned and repainted the heater box and installed the wiper assembly and steering column/pedal box. With this cage we were able to move the seats back a good couple of inches. The seating position was very tight before and we are both 6 foot so being able to move the seats back and lower will make a huge difference. Really looking forward to driving it like this! Thumbs-up seal of approval... FUCK PHOTOBUCKET. http://www.iforce.co.nz/ 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyscar Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 So haven't put anything up here for a while and there has been a tonne of progress. Mainly due to gay new forum issues so I'm guna give it a go and if it frustrates me this might be the last time I post here. In the meantime if you guys want to keep up to date with the build and shenanigans I've started a Facebook page in an attempt to make sponsorship etc a bit more attractive to prospective companies. Check us out and give us a like here: https://m.facebook.com/NARMotorsport/?tsid=0.5935628854363311&source=typeahead So here goes some pictures... Wish me luck. Lots of new shiny paint and bolts on the engine to make it go faster of course New gearbox cross member cause the old one was a sight for sore eyes. Also remounted engine so hopefully this time it doesn't want to jump out of engine bay... Got some doors on it with brand new rubbers etc. Looking pretty good. Still waiting for front guards, valence and bits of trim to come back from panel beater to assemble the rest Yes that is a dog chasing the hedgehog under the fence in the next section... Haha That seemed pretty painless nice work kk/admin. Will trade again. More updates to come. Almost ready for full rewire and new loom to be made. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
