More on the engine, water pump, throttle body inlets, and some brackets on.



Some of the throttle bodies and filter, this setup might change.




Wok and transfer housing painted.


Specialist components alternator fitted.


Made up high level brake light....and altered the mirrors to carry the side lights, should be ok at MOT time according to the DVLA.

Next up the rollcage. Bought this one from one of the guys in the local group, not really sure if this was originally suited for full race car, as the rear supports attached to the rear suspension turrets. Anyway, after some modifications, which included new feet, and the rear supports welded in correct angle so they can be bolted the rear wheel arches. The cage will be sprayed red, with a harness bar added.

Made up some new seat subframes to suit the new bucket seats, old seats were way to small for me. Subframes may need to be lowered as the build goes on.






New seats


Old Moto Lita steering wheel my Dad restored for me.

Ok guys, this where I got to with my car, before the house extension took over. Sprayed her Tweed grey with black roof in my dads garage/workshop. Hoping to get going with the build again....maybe in the new year. Will be doing the odd little bits and pieces though.

Aye, she's been in the garage since the tail end of 2016....in bits, lol.

Not really been up to much with the car, work and house extension still managing to get in the way. What I have been doing is collecting bits. Will maybe get back into it in a few weeks.
