My humble opinion....2.7 stroker is waste of time.

It is indead. And still has a fair way to go before it's even close. Fuck me it is slow work.

Decided this looked like sh*t. So cut grind weld grind hammer file some more and Reckon I might've got it.

Some random shots of stuff I've been mucking around with.

Seriously cool. I'd be tempted to leave the six in it. Some nice detailing, couple of carbs ect.

Thanks chaps.

So, enough of the shithouse updates, here's something decent. It aint perfect, but it is red and shiny!

Teaser...

So Christmas is gone and so are the hols so... Managed a bit of work, nothing major but even a little progress is nice at the moment. Mounted Andrews seat. Cheers fella! Sorted a position for the shifter higher and further back than stock and uses the stock E46 stuff. Also, because of the unknown age and specs of me poor old welder, I did some destructive testing on some tube with 3mm wall. So with 2.5mm wall cage steel I think we're all good for weld strength. Finally, anyone care to critique my cage landings? Thinking maybe they protrude too far from the sill?

Yeah, not a big deal.

Turps will melt the poly also without quite the same fumy yukkyness. Will leave residue though.

Some more pics of the project that never seems to get anywhere New flares

But aren't the V8SCs putting it under the floor? Not that I have a better reason than 'it would give me the shits'.

Just seems a bad idea to me. Would rather not sit in a cabin with a bin full of gas/fumes.

Made one of these, which is nice.

cletus for president. Super usefull bloke to have around.

Just quickly Are side exhausts legal if they exit on the drivers side behind the rear most opening window??

Mucking around with a few things lately. Painted and polished the front bumpers so should be ready to get a mould off them. Working on the rear bumper buck. Filled some more holes Finally got the gearbox back in after replacing the input shaft bearing And pissed about with this for a while Also bits and pieces like fuel lines, proper brackets for the front end blah blah.

This idea has merit.

Have been working on these. A little tricky to see the detail so here's a close might help.

Glad to see the back of that to be honest. Now, bumpers.

Thanks fella. Great to see the Esky at the track too. Awesome work.

Thats the way I'm leaning too.

Well, well. Two days, two updates. First side came together reallly slowly but the other side was much better. Still some trimming to do and not quite sure if the size of the hole is right yet, but showing some potential. To spotlight or not to spotlight, that is the question.
