Hi Neil,Neil907 wrote:What engine do you have for it now Darren?
I have an evo engine and running gear
But after considering all the work ive put into this shell
Making the intercooler ,Header tank,engine sump,gbox tunel /engine mountings etc etc/
If i wanted to fit this new engine its re.engineering everything it will put me back a loooong time ,
I want this car on the road ,
The engine will find its way into Alg1k
As i have all the molds done its not going to take me half as long to mod alg1k with this new engine and 4wd system.
About time you updated your build

Cheers Daz.

So long as its high quality and low volume, I think we still lead the world....for the time being anyway; what will happen when our generation retires remains to be seen...Thanks for reassuring me that people still actually make stuff in this pleasant land.

Then you still can buy/manufacture in Holland. No worries.

Note from Admin: sadly Jon passed away in February 2018 but his humour and wealth of knowledge will be fondly remembered by all. RIP Jonners.
Re: My new road And occasional track day car
I have used self tappers to set it up ,
The front end I will use rivets at the top and where the radiator
vents are and bolts on the wing
Bottoms and bolts on the rest of the wings
I had to releave the top clip where it clips over with
The dremel as the cf is thicker than the steel and it
Sat a little high( prob the same as alums fb panels )
