I took a day off and spent a couple of hours in the garage.

 

Steering wheels in place after some struggle.

 

Bling bling....

 

Strengthning plates welded and more pieces on the cage added.

Other side of the engine bay completed so the cage is now 100% complete.

Time to start thinkning on which color it should be. Black, white, red, green, etc.......

Awesome build would love the skills to be able to do this myself, on a note on the colour just a suggestion how about a silvery grey colour looks great and evidently grey colours are lighter in the fact that they need less paint for full coverage.

 

(BMW Silver grey is one, if memory is right FORD Titanium grey or something similar)

Thanks!

Regarding the colour. A light grey/silver with wheels in a darker grey colour is one of my options.

I'll think that the colour choice is the hardest choice of the whole project.

Haven't got time to be in the garage so I keep collecting parts.

 

APR GT3 Carbon fiber mirrors.

[matty_gti 20]

Are you going to make up some plates for the mirrors to fix to the car?.

Yes. Will be a carbon fibre plate in standard place.

The theme for todays session was colour.

 

The primer had a quite special colour. I was expecting something grey. But this one was fancy.

"The fast and the furious look" hehe....

 

Small cars require big tools.

 

Looks better with just standard black.

 

Ready for race... Or not....

 

Switched to summer tires on the Citroen. (For sale!)

A little update from this weekends session.

 

Removed hubs, arb, wishbones, etc.. from one of the donor cars. The wheater wasn't the best.

 

Cleaned the parts and also got time to paint the arb. Need to order bushes and wheel bearings now.

 

Cut out the inside of one of the doors.

 

The motivation haven't been the best lately but it's now back on top!!

4 weeks until I have vacation. So i'll hope to be able to spend much time and money in the garage and maybe maybe maybe have it's on wheels (no engine and interior) in the end of august.

More hours added to the garage account....

 

Nice to work when it's clean and painted.

 

309 wishbones and arb fitted with bushes from RallyDesign

 

Then I started with the rear beam. Urgh......

Continued with the rear beam today. It was quite interesting to see what was hiding in the dark.

 

Your bestfriend at a job like this.

 

Got the beam apart much easier then we expected. Wurzels guide that can be found at the main site was a great help. Thumbs up!!!

The rear beam got some paint today so it's now time to start putting it together again.

 

 

The front hubs got new wheel bearings so I had to test how it look with the Brembo's

Another Saturday in the garage. Wonder how many it have been during the years?

 

 

Poison of the day.

 

Suddenly it happend. It got white.

 

Difficult to get colors on all spots when it's a cage in the way.
