A little update been playing with the tig welder again
nearly finished the ex tunnel


Also raised the back of the passenger floor to aid in the fitment of
a big center silencer

Have now finished the rear turrets and im moving onto the boot floor then nearly ready to fully tig the cage in,
Then its back to the front end to start final fettling and start making the door molds which will be nice

Exhaust? You mean the drain pipe!?!
3" or 4" diameter?

Lovely work.

Very impressive, very cool .

Lovely work.

The exhaust will be 3.5"
Hopefully non of it will be seen even the tailpipe
Done a tiny bit today
got a piece of 3"x2" steel

Cut some holes

Made them bigger

And did the same to the other side this took 2.8 lbs out in weight
I then welded it to the bottom of my turrets so i can fit my Mumford link
And i forgot to take any photos

Got a couple of pickys today
May be keeping the boot floor if it works out the way i want

[swifty]

Damn you´re good!

[DF]

Did a little today just toooo hot
I committed to cut some of the boot floor out
Im leaving some of the side in as i want to put my nitrous bottle there for road use
Dont know whether to fit one

or two

This is the box i will have both sides of the car when its all welded in



I'm also in a dilemma with what to do with the exhaust exit
Do i have the pipes just showing out of the rear
There will be three ,two 3" and one 2.5"
like this with vents either side


Or do i just hide them ???????????? as it does look like a face drawn on there
Dont know if it would look the same with the pipes sticking out
What you think ?
Quick edit ,
The reason for the small exhausts is thats what will take all the exhaust fumes and noise until the
car starts to come on boost then the exhaust gas will be fed into the big pipes ,
Its just so i can potter around town quietly

why not bring them up through your boot void and have them exit the middle of the rear panel where the reg plate should go?

That's another area to look at,
wonder where i could put the reg plate ,,

[tinweevil]

I vote hidden or maybe only the small one (2.5" is the small one? I need a lie down) visible to maximise the sleeper effect.

HA HA Dont know if the car will have the sleeper effect ,
But i do like that idea,

If you are putting the rear bumper on you could fabricate a couple of L brackets, pop rivet short leg to underside bumper blade, offset to RHS with two vertical long legs to pop the plate to...

or,

Simply top hinge the plate in correct position so it acts like the lid on a diesel Mack...
