SGS low entry. I paid £110 I think and got some axle stands with it to.

I used to use those yellow ramps that are used to level out camper vans

 

just gives you that bit more clearance to get the jack under

Shame to read about the running problems. But that colour is divine.

Thanks guys, much appreciated.  Glad you like the colour, I think I should have gone a couple of shades darker but pretty happy with it.

 

So, first outing for the car is Ultimate Stance this Sunday in Telford, hope to see you there!

Have you managed to sort out the few issues you were having?

[Alan Carruthers]

Not yet mate, sent the breather back that was on the fuel tank, having taken it apart there were some parts missing so getting a new one, hopefully that will sort it. New expansion tank ordered from SM engineering but he's got to make it so won't get that 'till next week.

Hopefully those mods will help, need to alter the bite point on the clutch as well, fingers crossed.

Videos looked top class by the way.

Haha the content of the videos was a bit rubbish to be honest but from a hand held iPhone the quality and sound not too bad. Might invest in a GoPro or similar that I can mount to the roll cage.

Expansion tank should help. At least you won't be losing any water if it gets hot. High pressure rad cap, water wetter, 4:1 water/coolant and ducting to feed air to the rad all seem to keep temps steady on mine.

Looking really good

 

Have you weighed it yet?

[Baldspeed Racing]

She looked spot on from the show pics ive seen from the weekend mate, fair play for showing her off

[Alan Carruthers]

Many thanks, was a good weekend.  Haven't weighed it yet, it's on the long list of things to do!

 

So thought I'd put up some pics up from the show, not everyone's cup of tea and not exactly what the car was built for but it was fun and very nice to be asked.  It does make you realise just how dedicated some people are, some truly incredible builds.  Even if you don't like the styling, I'd always recommend a visit.

 

Just as I arrived Andy Waller pitched up as well so was great to meet him and see what he'd achieved.  Another level. 

 

Lots of positive comments on the car, inspired to go bigger and better next year!

 

Also lucky enough to have Matt Woods come down to take pics of the car for Mini Mag, it was a perfect day and location worked out brilliantly, I've posted just one pic of that at the end.

Does anyone know a good place where I could get the metal plates on my door locks zinc or chrome plated?

[benpopham]

I do Al, pop me an email :)

[Alan Carruthers]

Thanks mate, I'll drop you a line

[mattmiglia]

Wow!!!! Stunning car! Can't wait to hopefully see it at some shows this year?
