Nothing too exciting but the car is now being put back together. Picked up some NOS parts on eBay.it with the use of Google translate.

[Kegsti66]

Looking good.

[Spacenut]

Man, that looks far too nice to race, I hope there's no bumping a bawling in your chosen category

[Marlow Sud]

The plan is to be so far in front that it wont be a ploblem

[Marlow Sud]

And go round the bends faster than them on the inside

[garygecko]

Believe it or not the car is coming together and I hope to have a decent update with pics soon. The hold up at the moment is with the HiSpec callipers but that will hopefully be resolved soon.

In the meantime here is the 4 pot calliper mount coming together for the inboard brakes.

By my time scale your doing very well, and all the little details just absorb time. Keep us posted as most interested.

[garygecko]

Brakes finally arrived. Things should move quickly from here (hopefully)

[garygecko]

Engine ready to go in. 1910 cc 2?? BHP @ 8500 RPM. Steel crank and rods. Forged pistons. Custom fuel injection with slide throttles.

That is one awesome car you are building.
Good luck with it all.

That looks a pretty serious piece of kit.
Did you make the angled manifolds all up yourself?

[garygecko]

They came with the engine. It is all Lahoma Engineering (John Sismey) stuff.

[rsfruitbat]

You can see theres a lot of bespoke stuff gone into it.

should be a helluva tool

Any more progress Gary ? I'll be down there in a month or so.

[garygecko]

Ground to a bit of a halt I'm afraid.

When you say you will be down there, do you mean Brunswick or Australia?

[Veesix75]

Australia would be nice.......unfortunately a day off to go to the fens.

[garygecko]

Some progress!
