It might be ready! We'll see.

Not much needs to be done really I just need a kick up the .

Rear Wheel arch,
Patch of Chassis leg
Rear Quarter Corners
Get the back Polybushed
Current Engine and box pulling out and new Engine and box fitting.
Front Brakes rebuilding (calipers, discs and pads)
Windscreen putting in.
Roller Painting
Building up
Buying a Bucket seat and steering wheel and a Bubble/Dildo Gearknob.

........... ;D

Oh yeah and I have to re furb the wheels I have for it and try and shoe horn them under the arches!

[vwratcaddy]

what needs to be done

[dude]

Ooo! Another f-body! Got a build thread yet? Looks hard!


This won't be done for 012

It needs a turbo, new rear end, t56 and a paintjob among other things ;D

Neither will this

It need everything, including a saab turbo engine ;D

Although i'm hoping for getting me thumb out and getting hold of a cheap m30b35 donor for this

It's been sitting around long enough to start putting ideas in my head again! ;D

[kee]

My mk1 fiesta *just* road legal hillclimb/sprint car won't be ready till 2013 at absolute best.



The list includes:
new wings, front panel, sill (maybe both), 1 rear arch, patches in kick panel/floor, bulkhead and boot floor.
Seam weld entire car
Custom welded in roll cage
full respray
engine build is at the very beginning, still need a custom spec Vulcan Engines head, work doing on the crank/rods to make them rev to 10k safely, rebore to suit pistons I havent got, aand those pistons probably need skimming to fit. lightweight flywheel, new clutch, gearbox needs diff bearings, New race spec cam, custom inlet manifold designing and making to suit the bike bodies I have.
Which means I also need a full injection ECU and the appropriate lines/swirl pot/pumps to upgrade from carb fuel pressure to injection pressure.
Custom lightweight dashboard needs making.
Lightweight but good bucket seat,
fibreglass boot/bonnet.
Tiny rad to fit down the side of the throttle bodies/infront of the gearbox and brackets making to suit.
Need 2 sets of wheels, one with slicks, one with road legal tyres.

theres probably more, so i'll be looking at 2013 if i'm lucky.

then i've gotta ave up for a BDH

[elmotheewokking]

Bolt on the front wings/front panel, replace the bonnet, weld up the rear NS inner wheel arch, fit electronic ignition, finish radiator conversion, leccy fan, finish sorting out the 1300fwd steering rack, make a side exit exhaust, sandblast and powdercoat compomotives, weld the passenger sill (again, not happy with the first go), swap the OD box I got in, re-wire for more than 2 fuses, relays for the halogen headlamps, weld up trim holes, bit of welding on the chassis rail, fit the front arb, TR6 rear plate lamp and poly bush it.
Oh and paint it all one colour.
Not much then... Oops.
EDIT; picture won't show, though I'm looking at it in t'bucket. Argh.
Edit edited;
Fixed.

This is my S13, doesn't really need very much, just a bit of welding to the sills. One day....







This is little more than a shell, I'm ashamed to say it's been like this since 2007. We did start 'Mini Mondays' last month in an effort to get it built but it's not going to happen any time soon!

[vwratcaddy]

do you wanna sell the wheels

[akku]

click any of the car links in my signature for a car which won't be finished any time soon or possibly ever in my lifetime...

Love your Trans Am BTW

[1430MK1]

Sorry mate. anyway, I only have the pair.

A guy called Carl Austin makes them out of old mini wheels. He does some quality stuff

[vwratcaddy]

thanks for those mate

[spacekadett]

I've been threatening to finish this 'next year' for at least the last 3 lol



To be fair it is a touch further ahead now than in that pic; most of the filler work is done with I think just the front panel, sills and back panel to sort along with tidying under the bonnet. But then there's paint, wiring and refitting, well, just about everything!

Then there's the Kadett coupe and Mini pickup I haven't started yet...

[Seth]

This will be looking better and maybe even rolling on its wheels for the first time in a while by the end of 2011 but is still unlikely to see daylight in 2012.

And the Borgward comes after that...

Seeing all these unfinished projects is making me feel MUCH better about mine. Cheers guys! :-)
