Fury Bodywork
Well after waiting almost 20 months I finally have the body work for my Fury, collected yesterday.
Thankfully Steve at Fury sportscars now has a new supplier for the body kits and they should be able to produce them as required although the original
Standard bodywork (with doors) is still not available. If things go well then Steve may be able to get a new mold made and start producing these
again.

Really pleased with the colour and it changes with the different ambient light.

Looks great, pleased that Steve is able to get bodywork done again.

That looks great and nicer lines without the doors.

Great news for you and other Fury owners. Doors are for girls anyway.

Yep really good news.
Had a good chat with Steve and Jay all about the company and how they are doing in the current climate. They are now managing to restock the shelves
and get all spare parts again should anyone need them plus all the badges and VIN plates etc.
Their facebook page is getting a few views and this is helping to spark interest in the car. I did speak to him about giving his website a refresh so
watch this space. https://www.facebook.com/Fury-Sports-Cars-Ltd-552982204748213/?fref=ts
We also chatted about trying to get a Fury/ Striker / Pheonix track meet together somewhere. Lydon Hill is close to them but they realise its a bit
far for most to travel to. Blyton might be good if people were willing to meet up there, need to gauge an interest and let him know.

I oragnised a couple of JPSC days (in conjunction with MoT) this year at Blyton. Think there might be a couple next year as well (when I get my finger
out), probably one at Blyton and hoping to sort another further south. I'll try and keep Steve in the loop once I get on with it.

That would be good Adi, keeps us updated

Doors are a waste of time on a Fury. I never open mine.

I like that. Even the windscreen frame looks straight :-)
Same layout as mine - Le-man bonnet and Spyder rear end.
Careful fitting the headlight covers. I am sure if you ask on LCB you will get a myriad of ideas.
I made some small stainless brackets that are mounted to the bodyshell which mean the holes
in the covers are not too close to the edge causing cracks.
The Answer for everything, but never the last word....

Well RAW are always there (as are Omex with their Stiker) so it makes sense for a contingent from JPSC to go as well. I'm there most years, be
aware it does book up so might be worth booking as soon as possible. £75 for CKC subscribers, not the worlds most interesting track but at least you
can see the whole circuit & there isn't much of a noise issue.

Great news on the bodywork. I take it they have the classic bonnets too?

Unlikely as the classic bonnet moulds where damaged and need replacing.

I guess that needs an explanation for those that weren't a Dover that day...
Going to France this year I got diverted at Dover port into the security shed along with a few other cars. I was the last one in the line. Woman comes
along and says...
"Sorry for the delay, we're just doing some ramdom security checks"
Me "OK, no problem. What does it involve?"
Her "My colleague will just take a swab of your door handle. It'll only take second"
Me "Hmm, Good luck with that" (get a funny look from her)
Colleague "Errm... er... It's got no handles... or doors!"
(He swabbed the streering wheel instead)

Yes the Classic bonnet is still available, there was one awaiting collection along with mine. It was just the standard body mold that was damaged from
what I gather.
While I was there I also picked up my roll hoop.
avagolen will appreciate this as I know he had the same problem. When I fitted my seats the mounts for the belts were way out of line and the
left hand mount on the drivers side I couldnt even get a bolt in as it was too close to the diagonal strut.
 
Description
 
Description
 
Description
What I did was sent the hoop back to Steve and had him move the mounts further in together so they would line up with the belt holes but also recline
the mounting holes back 15 degrees so the bolts clear the diagonal and make the boss 20mm high. This now has had the effect of tilting the belt mount
back slightly so the belts go up towards the belt holes in the seat and so the belt mount buckles are working in the direction they are designed for
rather than being pulled upwards.
 
Description
 
Description
Steve has said he will be making the hoops to this design from now on so hopefully others will not suffer the same problem

Are your shoulders level with or above those holes in the seat?

Just about level with.
The seat isn't fully back there but it will be when I am in the car and this will push the belts up slightly.

That's good news. Don't need one but you never know when you might.
