wow that looks so so so nice!!!!

[andywaller]

yeah they will look mega on the car!

im pretty pleased with my subframes, brakes and bits now, i just need to save up for some alloy radius arms and im am done! im also not sure about dampers yet but they can wait. i have been watching miglia sets on ebay but my bid of £250 was well off the mark!

[CAU998]

wow! just gets better by the minute!

[Dog]

You insipre me Andy!
I love what your doing, not really looked since having ti give up my street fighter

But the 6 pots *dribble* does make me wonder what power plant your going for now thou lol

Although I have the Van, my handing will vertually be the same as my old white one, just making it look stock lol

[andywaller]

fingers crossed there will be a development on the engine just waiting for an e mail or two!

dog the van looked cool at the L2B but much better on the 10's. i see you still have a link to your project page does this mean it may be revived? still at least we know i will be the one ridding lowest now


CAU998 i think it was you my mate bought a rear subframe off, was it you?

[mini13]

dunno if you've considered the bimmer bike head, but I have a 16v one you can take a look at to see whats involved.

[Dog]

Nah, I do have plans to make something of it again - but as I've sold that shell, so will see what happens
The Van is much better on 10's tyre smoke and squeal round tight corners makes me smile lol

Most of the trick bits, like yours, are going onto the Van, so it'll be almost "ultimate" handling, just need to do a few calls...


and you saw my Van at L2B? Why the hell didn't you come say Hi?

[andywaller]

oh right cool didnt realise you sold the shell! i did come and see ya that was me at crystal palace!

[Dog]

Did you?
Oh C**p, I don't remember

Think its because I had a flee in my ear from Dee having a go at me, and me being in the dog house
Shame, would of shown u round it a bit more if I knew

*memory like a sieve*

sorry OT but how much?? i might have just come into some money (if i can persuade my mum i need to race)

[mini13]

Sorry Mate,

I meant that I have one he can have a look at to see whats invoved in the conversion, not that I wanted to sell it.

I'll be using it once My 7 ports finished!

[mini93]

aah right fair enough lol, wishful thinkin i guess

[andywaller]

thought i should do a proper update.

i have actually gone and done some more work and have pictures to prove it!!

i now have 2 tubbed rear arches and i am pleased with them, to think i almost didnt bother!! i just need to grind back the welds and finish the lip and they are finished!

this is the one i have just done





i also got a fax through from roll center with a drawing of my cage, i think i have worked everything out now and it keeps getting better when i start to line thing up, i found today the cage pics up on the 2 lower subframe mounts which i didnt realise!

any ways here is how it looks



i have also marked out and drilled a few more holes on my front subframe, i also cut out the triangulation that i did as i wasnt happy with the welding, so i am doing it again, but making it bigger this time!

i also have a few more mods planned for my rear subframe after seeing some of the track cars at the london to brighton



i am on the way to finishing the panel welding on the shell i just need to weld the a panles on and work out what to do with this great big hole in the baulkhead, i was going to fit a massive miglia type airbox going back to the door pillars but now i just think i will do a shallow one big enough for an expansion tank and remote brake reservoirs.



and just one of the shell in all its glory!

if i can get the doors lined up to fit the a panels and get a baulkhead made up and fitted buy the end of next month i will be happy as i can then book it into the sandblasters.

im still builing my workshop as well, just about to go and do some on thats.

thats all for now

[robson]

good work! are you basing those decisions having seen that green and white mini at L2B? The one sat behind the white GSX-R bike engined mini?

[mini13]

Is it worth adding a turbo box in the bulkhead, an an all evantuality type of thing?

If so these ones are good, the bottom is angled slightly so water dosent puddle there, and they're seam welded unlike the usual ones. cheap too!
