Cheers, can't wait myself!

Should get some good progress this weekend, heading up tonight again as my mates welding the radiator brackets and giving me a hand to drop the subframe out :)
 
All welded up, big thanks to my mate Mike :)

It's mad to think this will be batering round a track in about 2 weeks when you see it in the pics with a bare front end.

Plenty of new goodies getting fitted too, someones gonna be busy :D
 
Really nice work steve!!:nice:
Is this still going to be a daily driver after all the work?
 
Sweet progress steve! Are you getting nervous yet? Nothing like last minute mods! lol
 
Cheers

I take the train most days to work as it saved sitting about in traffic, although I do like to take the car a couple days and still will after all this is done :)

Ian, not nervous yet, making good progress so no need to be

was on a bit of a roll last night so stayed out to the garage till about half 1 :lol:

subframe out and PS lines unhooked, going to strip the rack later today

For anyone looking at decent 4 pots, take into account you will be done this every so often :(( (mine have been on the car for almost 15k miles)

Just held the pistons in place with G-clamps, blasted some air through the bleed nipple with my thumb covering the flexi, cleaned up the pistons one at a time with some t-cut to remove any dirt

No more sticky calipers :nice:
 
cheers, only been at it one week now!

got the whole bay rubbed rown lightly, second coat of primer on the whole bay, starting to come together now :secret:

Cheers guys :)

Not bad for rattle cans, just got to head up tommorow night wet sand it slightly and get some laquer on, after that some pics with a decent camera, haha
 
Cheers guys, looking forward to getting it all assembled :)

Split my front hubs and fitted the arp studs yesterday, dropped the lot in at local garage after work today to get the new bearings fitted and pressed back together

Took thursday/friday off work this week so got a 4 day weekend to get it built :nerv:
