As soon as I get my kit (February I sincerely hope) I'll let you know how I get on I am aiming to devote a reasonable amount of time to the build but familiy commitments tend to get in the way don't they How's your's coming along?

Mines coming on slowly - got the engine & box to go in next....



Findlay234 - 22/1/04 at 07:10 PM

hey gazza how on earth do you keep your garage so tidy??? Mines an absolute wreck.

Oh and i am back at uni so when my exams are finished ill be able to visit and see the car if its still alright.


ChrisW - 22/1/04 at 07:40 PM

Mine drives, but no coolant yet so not very far. Also need to bleed the brakes but there's not a lot of point until I get the side panels on.

Cleaned up and painted the alternator bracket the other night so hoping to get that on at the weekend, meaning I can also get the water pump going and therefore have some coolant. With any luck it'll get a run down the drive on Sunday... fingers crossed!

Gazza,
Are you building your car in the spare room?? I have never seen a garage like that! (Especially not mine!). How are you going to get it down stairs when you finished it?

theconrodkid - 22/1/04 at 07:54 PM

ill hear the sonic boom from my place then?


Gazza - 23/1/04 at 10:00 AM

wish I was building it in the house! The garage still gets a bit drafty!!



Findlay234 - be good to meet up.......


Cussed - 23/1/04 at 01:57 PM

How is it that my garage looks like it's twice the size of Gazza's and yet only has half the space? Could it be because I'm an untidy bugger?

{hijacking thread slightly} Findley234 - I'm still on for meeting up. Maybe you, me and Gazza should arrange a date for the inaugral Notts Velocity owner's club meeting? Pub?

Anyone else nearby?

Eddie


Findlay234 - 23/1/04 at 07:22 PM

yeah deffo(sorry uni slang coming out). A mate of mine here on my course is also really interested in coming along. Ive got exams this coming week but the weekend after would be a great time. U2U with us about what you think


G3OFF - 23/1/04 at 08:48 PM

G3OFF - 4/2/04 at 10:53 AM

ChrisW - 5/2/04 at 03:49 PM

You never did tell us where those lights came from Geoff!?

Chris


G3OFF - 5/2/04 at 08:39 PM

hi m8...

iv had a look .. carnt find the receipt.. so i aint sure..... it was the massive light stand outside in the tent at the donny show.. if that means anything to anyone? .. you much further along chris?


wicket - 6/2/04 at 09:49 AM

Just coming up to 2 years when we collected the 'book' chassis. Most of the design work is complete, brakes, cable harness, handbrake, rear axle, steering are all in, ali panels are fitted. GRP bits have been fettled and some are fitted. We are starting final assembly and within the next few weeks it will be off the build trolley and on wheels for the first time and all being well we are looking to be on the road late Spring early Summer.

Jonte - 16/2/04 at 09:04 AM

Too bad
These I found are Hella lights.

Canīt you see any brands or other marking on the lights?


G3OFF - 16/2/04 at 02:21 PM

G3OFF - 16/2/04 at 08:09 PM
