Got a bit done this week,
Cut the lock etc off and made a stainless tube, still need to secure it
Also made some top hat washers for the column bracket
Got my plates for the footwell back from my fabricators
I've had these cut out of 2mm and a strengthening fold along the bottom where the pedal box bolts in
Also got a couple of front seat rails bent up, these will have nuts welded underneath
And sit somewhere like this, pedal box is next weeks job so then I can work out my seat position
Picked up a cat today to, it's a 400 cel custom chrome one, there only down the road from me, could of got a 200 cell high flow but didn't
want any problem getting through my iva

Down my dads all day today, he's built a cnc router, works like a dream
Made a flange for my zx10 fuel pump today, this will be welded to a tube then to the bottom of the tank to make a swirl/ sump
Made a ply one first to check holes and oring grove
10mm Ali plate
Took 25mins to cut this out
Then made a wheel with the correct offset so I can check clearance when we make the exhaust manifold
One side is a 205 tyre the other is a 185 tyre
12mins for this I think, it flys through timber!
Then a mk1 gear lever, just as a starting point

Got a bit done tonight, made two hose barbs for my fuel tank

Also my mates started on my silencer, it's repackable

Well I've been doing a few jobs since my last update, my fuel tanks well on its way, I've been drawing up my pedal box for the last few
weeks and
I've spent all day on it today, pretty happy with it, should get it cut out next week, I was going to use Vouchts pedal box design off the
haynes forum
But with the bias bar and different cylinders I just couldn't get it to work, all my ratios have work out as I want them, so all being well it
will be sweet
The pedals will have tubes in between them
Also my mate sent me a pic of my exhaust collectors, possibly doing my manifold with him next weekend

Yeah I've got the dxf's on a USB stick, I do him drawings for folding details and so he knows what needs cutting etc

Don't no if I'm honest mate, prob as it heats up as you weld along

Well had a awesome day today! Been up and seen my mate at Primary Designs in Thame today, was a long day but we got my exhaust all fabricated and
tacked up, he's going to get it finish welded during the week, the primary lengths are all within 5mm! I will let the photos do the talking

Congratulations for the clean build. I'm just 2 steps behind you, so its nice to see your progress.
Just to clarify, in this picture the tube RS15 should go on the opposite side. Did you do it on purpose?
I forgot to weld it while doing the box, im afraid maybe is too late 
Have fun!
Hi mate,
great build you are doing!!
Did you manage to solve the RS15 issue somehow?
Keep pushing!

Right no updates for a few weeks, still waiting on laser cutting and to get my exhaust back so I've got a little side project to keep me busy
Ive been after this for about a year as it's been sitting in a blokes yard, he finally sold it me last Saturday afternoon
I borrowed a trailer to get it home on, but it weighs about a ton so we had to strip it to get it up the garden!
The bed took 4 of us to lift and so did the stand
Gearbox was mint
Loads of bits to clean up
Base and bed ready for paint
Clean parts bin filling up
Covers and parts ready for paint
Parts painted by my dad while I've been at work
And that's where it's up to, cheers for looking

Will look mint when back together!
Manifold looks great, but there's not much room for bodywork between chassis and manifold in collector area?

Yeah I've been thinking the same to be honest, will have to have a look when I get it back, can always be tweaked out or altered I guess
