New bumpers on





Needs painting couldnt really do anything else today as its rained almost all of it which is the norm for my one day a week off lol.

Need to make some sort of bracket for the light as the old ones snapped and its still sitting on the piss tried today but just couldnt get it straight.

Get it painted!!!

give me time

oh and money lol

Its getting there mate.

When do you reckon youll be out in it again then?

Looking good.
Any 3/4 shots?

??????? Dunno what you mean lol alittle tired at the mo

Dave its not going back on the road till round oct then it will be staying on the road yeah

Like this..

Yay. I should be all welded up by then, maybe with a cage. And hopefully will have had plenty of seat time.

i get you

Not yet matey will get some when i am at the garage again when its not piddling down like it was tonight when i was finishing the brakes off

Just put my name down on the group buy from apex for the rest of my cage which will be september i think



Front cages to go with existing rears are £129. Thats a pair of front legs, top window bar and doors bars including all necessary mounting fixings.

Just need to get sombody to weld a cross section in the middle so i can use my carbon roof and compete.

BARGAIN

The full cages are full FIA EDC/BDC/Pro Drift/Time Attack spec made from cold drawn steel so will be able to use it next year if i get my license to do BDC.

Fitting the hydro weds and should fingers crossed have the wider fenders on depending on the bloody weather.

IF you get your license lol

Things coming together

Sounds like a bargain that!

Hope the weather gets better for your day off mate lol

Trying is the first step to failure!!! lol

Failures in my blood

Got a fair bit done today will post pics up in the morning to bloody tired mow finished at 11pm

The wife finaly didnt have any bloody plans for me today so got some work done on the car.

Big thanks to Dale (park monkey) and Oscar (oscar200) for there help with the hydro and fenders.

1st off was to sort the arches out this is the somthing i havnt done before so was alittle hit and miss so out with the grinder



found plenty of rust though which has now been cut out and the stuff i couldnt remove has been treated.

1st off cutting



Wasnt high enough so cut alittle higher once done cut slices in the metal and folded the inner arches out over the rear qtr



Then Oscar come round and Helped with the rest cheers kidda

Riveted them to the outer qtr and bonded and sealed so no water gets in its very messy but its somthing you wont be seeing unless i rip the fenders off (with my driving thats a good chance)

Then matched up the fenders and riveted them on











Transfors the look of the car i think its much wider and gives it a more agressive stance i think.

Next up paint and wheels that will fill the arches.

Once that was done lined up the front light as thats been on the piss since i put the front end on also fitted the rest of the cage down as i kept breaking drill bits so gave up but its sorted now lol.

Next Dale helped chuck the Driftworks Hydraulic Handbrake on i broke the standard s13 handbrake cable suport at Oulton park last year and after fixing it twice have ripped it out the floor again so the hydro was a must really.

1st off the T-Piece section at the rear





Fed the line through a hole i had just behind the drivers seat and to the hydro itself (havnt fastend the lines to the floor yet)



Dale had to make up a little section for me as i lost the unions for the front that came with the kit but need to get another one as the one that runs to the front is a different thread to the one he had made up once this is done the its just a case of bleeding the system then its mot time.

Wehay!

Nothing broken then??

What you going to do about the petrol cap?
